it can’t be very popular it’s hugely inconvenient/expensive/time consuming compared to just buying from a dispensary.

It’s thousands to set up a ‘proper’ 3-5 plant grow operation, which is why people just grow 15-30 bc of economies of scale the overhead is already close enough. But also why it fuels the illegal market bc why would you not flip it when by the pound that’s worth 2-3k on the street.

Not investing the time or money yields shitty mid weed that is worthless anyway.

I still think thats way more than what one person ‘needs’ for extracts but ideally I could grow myself 50 plants and bathe in the extract if I want.

Look at CA, since they decriminalized all the Mexican cartels set up shop because now they don't have to transport product across the border. Then in OK, they were handing out licenses like candy (1 license for every 90 medical patients)...and are now the state is cracking down on their screw up since so much product is leaving the state. OK dubbed their issue 'ghost owners'. Sure not everyone grows...and even growers buy from dispensaries. It's not them the industry has to be concerned about. For MO, it's the ghost owners that will set up shop in the state, under the disguise of home growers, that now have the legal ability to mass produce product. Imagine if an operator buys an apartment building and each 'tenant' signs up for home grow. Now I am not sure if apartment or townhouse is prevented from home growing under the regs, but if not, then one person in each each apartment dwelling could sign up to home grow...which would probably bypass any red flag in the system...and then as one cohesive unit generate consistently produced product. I dont doubt it will happen. I also hope it doesn't cause new states coming online to see challenges from home grow and omit it from their rules/regulations.
