Think of it this way. I have a vegetable garden, banana trees, mango trees, and lemon.
Yet, I still purchase these items from the grocery store. In order for my personal demand to be met I would need much more of my real estate space to be occupied by these plants. It's just not worth losing more real estate space to grow more. This does not include the time I need to spend nurturing/tending to these plants. My time is more valuable than I'm willing to put into more plants.
The space and time you need to grow your own MJ product is more demanding from what I have read. It's not say there are people out there who are really into it and are willing to pay such demands, not unlike creating your own brew. I don't fear growers being able to grow their own product, there will always be demand for regulated, easy to obtain product. Look at Canada right now. People can still grow their own yet all these LP's are showing up and obviously selling pretty steadily.

You can grow 1 or 2 plants under cfl lights that cost maybe 9 dollars. The quality is poor.

A proper setup will cost 1000-1500 for a 4 by 10 area equipped with high pressure sodium lights carbon filter and proper ventilation. From this you could pull 6-7 pounds every three months easy. I agree that most people wouldn't want this in their house.

Cannabis just to cure properly needs three months to get rid of the chlorophyll/hay smell. Shelf life is long long.
