You see how much taxes they brought in? Don’t think they will allow that lol

Home brewing hasn't hurt the alcohol industry. One plant is a lot of work.

I’m by no means an expert, but I imagine they still get a lot of money on taxes with home brewing, where as with plants, wouldn’t it be easier to get starters without buying?

Regardless, I think it’s easy to say there is no motivation to allow growing.

They'd still get plenty of taxes from grass as well. Like the other user said, one plant is a lot of work. Personally, I'd try growing just for fun, but would probably fail, and end up back at the weed store. No big deal in my eyes. Especially since retail prices are pretty reasonable.

It's not super difficult, but it also isn't super easy to grow something dispensary quality at home without the right equipment. In that case, a lot of folks home growing will throw in the towel because it's cheaper to just go to the store and buy an 1/8th for 20-45 bucks than to get all of the gear that helps attain high quality bud. Some will go nuts with it, and I'm here for that! Show me your sweet grows! But most of us will keep hitting up the store, because it's convenient.

Grow outdoors, been doing it for 30 years, even developed my own strain for W. Washington. Hell of a lot of work, it is a great hobby. Such diversity working with seed.
