okay, I believe the effect of people growing their own weed vs. just buying a pack at the store is quite minimal. We have prescription weed here in california, with a lot of stores that sell growing equipment, and yet the dispenseries do a brisk business. It's just easier for most people to go to the store and buy a high quality product at low prices than to struggle with trying to do it themselves. I see this effect on the industry as more of how local vegetable gardens impact the agriculture industry.
Secondly, if we simply remove the enforcement aspect from the equation, and take the gangs out of the distribution picture, we've already done an AMAZING service for the community and its budget.
