for various reasons:

No space

Landlord doesn't allow

Lack of interest

They'll have to cadge some off their buddy who does grow, or go down to the pot shop.

Personally I'd rather marijuana not be legalized, just decriminalized. JaneyVee Feb 2013 #1

Isn't that really just a semantic difference? cleanhippie Feb 2013 #3

No, it's an important distinction. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #10

Great points! Thanks for that explanation. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #14

Yep. Some of my younger friends knew one of the victims. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #50

A version of decriminalization makes sense. Small sales should be okay as well. DirkGently Feb 2013 #49

I agree with all your arguments. Legalize it, let the police go after thieves and MADem Feb 2013 #52

No ... it's not Trajan Feb 2013 #12

That seems to be right. Comrade Grumpy has a great explanation just above. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #16

I think you have it just right. I do take exception to one comment, though. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #8

Indeed. Home growing is as easy as home brewing. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #11

Well, that's the thing. If it's legal, it's easy as pie to grow your own; most prospective consumers Nay Feb 2013 #36

I don't want to patronize boutique producers. I want to BE a producer and be able to kestrel91316 Feb 2013 #19

That would make you a business, and with any business, one needs permits. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #21

I agree that there needs to be personal, non-commercial home cultivation allowed. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #35

Setting up a craft brewery is still a multi-million-dollar proposition. kestrel91316 Feb 2013 #18

Unless you intend to be a larger brewpub and restaurant, millions are not needed. cleanhippie Feb 2013 #23

I shouldn't have to spend hundreds of thousands to set up a commercial pot farm so I can kestrel91316 Feb 2013 #26

Even indoor cultivation will require pollen screens and special clothing randr Feb 2013 #33
