Reply #119: this is exactly the kind of situation where the tobacco industry thrives

[0rganism]

Tobacco Giants have the facilities, the know-how, and the $$$ to not only grow pot well, but to grow it in 1000 variations of genetically-engineered flavor, strength, and color.

The major risk to the local "microgrower" and regional diversity would no longer be the DEA and its associated buzzkill fascists, but rather the sheer unprofitability of maintaining one's own temperature-controlled HPS-lit hydroponic growery for a product you can buy with a few bucks at the neighborhood Quick-E-Mart.

AFAIK, you can still grow your own tobacco, too, if you want... :smoke:
