what are the potential issues when it comes to growing your own and possibly selling it for your own personal profit? I'm sure it could be taxed if you tried to sell it, but hard to tax it when its grown for personal use
Let them? People do the same now for brewing alcohol and growing tobacco...no one really cares though because people are too lazy to do it on a large scale. The potheads only grow it now because there are so few alternatives. Make it publicly available and 99% will be too lazy to continue growing their own...its just human nature.

I'm all for the legalization. Make buying any of the controlled substances illegal until 18, including alcohol, but not consuming. Kids do what theyre going to do anyway, making it legal for them to consume puts the onus back on the parents where it should be.
