I'd be willing to bet that rivals might be the biggest problem for suppliers. After thinking about it for a bit, it's really not difficult to set up an indoor farm, produce, refine, and distribute. My main concern would be the nature of the business world that you'd be entering. Yes, demand is probably high enough to easily keep up with increased production locally pretty much anywhere, but the price of the good is based partially on the availability. In other words, more pot on the market decreases it's overall value. Other producers and dealers (who were able to get off the couch) would probably view a new competitor on the market as a problem. While it's not an industry like food, it does follow a lot of the same rules. The problem is that all it takes is one pissed off producer or distributor to call the police.
The only way I can see to avoid this is have a middleman who isolates you completly from the lifestyle. Have someone you trust completly do all the face to face and drops. I'm reminded of the way Tony Soprano was going to make Christian during season 4 or 5. No one knows who you are, where you are, or how to find you.
Boy, I can see where this can become somewhat complicated.
