Two points.....you can limit what a person grows to their own use, and impose rather hefty penalties for offenders (those who grow commercially without a license) and knowing that you can just go down to the local smoke shop and get some makes it alot more convenient than setting up a grow in your basement......how many people do you know with a "still" in the basement? but I suppose it was alot more common during prohibition.
