What I've realized, reading through this, is that just like the great gun debate, people are seemingly intentionally obtuse about facts and reality on things they just have no idea about, yet still feel the need to convey their opinion as that of the majority and correct. Save me, save me from my common house palm, and my ficus plant because thats as likely to be a problem as anything that is proposed.
People already grow high maintenance plants in their homes. There's a handful of hydroponic and grow supply stores in Calgary selling high wattage lighting, water supply stuff, etc. Lets not forget there's tons of current toxic household plants (to people and pets) grown in homes all over the place, I would guess everyone grew up in a house with those plants nearby. So any concern about danger to people or pets would be null, and any concern for "never before seen grow operation setups" would also be null.
