C'mon. That's the whole problem. Where there's a rule, there's someone who will break it. We'll see even more grow-ops than we have now because they can "legally" sell it. There will be no drop in police fees because they'll still have to sniff out the *still* illegal grow-ops.

I've known a few friends in the last 15 yrs who grow, one that did it for almost 6yrs.
The profit margin if legalized goes way down, right now its profitable and thats why you see home growers, besides the home growers who just grow enough for themselves and friends.
Once legalized, the price and quantity available makes home growing drop dramatically, especially if you know anyone who's grown, the cost of materials, electricity bills, pain of doing it in your own home..
It will happen just like alcohol prohibition when it ended, the home brewers lasted for many years after legalization but it dropped dramatically over the first 5 years to what we see today, hobby beer brewers.
Same thing will happen with pot, the effort reward to grow pot at home will be so much less after legalization that it will drop drastically.
