Growing pot is easy and will become common, I lived in such a household and the guy did next to nothing growing the plants, but made plenty of extra cash, the plants were outdoors. None of us wanted to do all the work required to make beer, and we sure didn’t want to do it forever and constantly, as it was I stayed out of the pot thing and would not even handle a sell if he wasn’t home, I just told people that I wasn’t involved and to come back later, I wouldn’t even water the plants for him.
Gardening is much more common and casual than making batches of beer.
The strange thing about this house was that the plants were out front, the old people neighbors would comment on his beautiful plants, and the sheriffs never seemed to notice them although they were right there, and the sheriff’s would occasionally come up to serve a warrant or something, (we were a little wild and overly active at the time).
I’ve got a friend that just did a harvest. He says it was tons of work. Keeping things going in the greenhouse was the easy part. The aging isn’t too bad. It’s the trimming that just kills it. Plus of course you need good seed, those aren’t cheep. Truthfully in this day of Mr Beer homebrewing is much easier than growing your own pot, faster too.
