There is no control or tax over homegrown production and therefore government generates revenue on the illegality of its use. I've seen numerous professional lives and their families destroyed by the ridiculous designation of home growables as illegal substance. Meanwhile a large portion of the supposed enforcers of such laws are avid users of said illegal substance. Alcohol is legal because it can be controlled and taxed. People can't just pour out some whiskey in the garden and wait for the bottles to pop up but people can toss out some seeds and wait for the buds. This obviously is a matter of "Billions" of dollars in revenue based on the illegality. What would these idiots who scour through wild brush and jungles looking for plants do if suddenly the plants became legal? I could see the look on their faces upon the news that legality has deemed their services no longer a necessity. Meanwhile a multitude of government officials bathe in alcoholic soup.
