At first glance you can get seeds for 30 bucks, but I don't know if that's for garbage weed, or what. Seems like everyone would be growing their own weed at those prices.

Growing marijuana can be very tedious and time consuming. Granted, you could get some auto-flowering plants and just throw them in soil and eventually get some low yield bud. But if you want to grow good pot, it takes a bit of work.
First of all, the start up cost (2 different kinds of lights, fans, reflectors, pH meters, moisture meters, fertilizer, pots, electrical, microscope....), it can be quite a lot even for just a small home grow.
Then there is a lot of time spent topping and trimming, monitoring soil pH, room moisture, dealing with the odours, checking tricomes, rotating the plants, watering, keeping a good temperature, harvesting, drying, curing.... It's more work than it sounds like. And it takes several months of daily work, you can't even go on vacation without worrying about it. And if you slip up, mold can destroy all your work in a flash.
Or at least that is what I heard.
