FILE -In this March 15, 2018 photo, two undercover Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies dump marijuana into an evidence bag during a raid at an illegal marijuana dispensary during a raid in Compton, Calif. An unwelcome trend is emerging in California, as the nation's most populous state enters its fifth year of broad legal marijuana sales. Industry experts say a growing number of license holders are secretly operating in the illegal market — working both sides of the economy to make ends meet. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong,File)

A home destroyed in the 2020 North Complex Fire sits above Lake Oroville in Oroville, Calif., May 23, 2021. The reservoir is shown at 39% of capacity and 46% of its historical average. The mighty lake — a linchpin in a system of aqueducts and reservoirs in the arid U.S. West that makes California possible — is shrinking with surprising speed amid a severe drought, with state officials predicting it will reach a record low later this summer. The lake helps water a quarter of the nation’s crops, sustain endangered salmon and anchor the tourism economy of a Northern California county that must rebuild seemingly every year after unrelenting wildfires.(AP Photo / Noah Berger)
