The government always screws up everything. The legal outlets will cater to the more well off, but the average person who consumes it will probably continue getting it on the black market where prices will be lower.
Everything I know is from the growing side. It’s a plant with almost no known pests. All you have to do is grow it. My son’s emus would eat the hemp plants but they were caged. He brought his cat when he moved home and she eats it so she stays inside. But all we have to do is specialized feeding, max sun, topping, cloning and stressing at harvest to boost the THC. The last thing it gets is a molasses feed, cut the roots and put it in the garage for a week before pulling the buds.
My goal is to create an Indica-ish strain that is just for sleep but I would have to convert to oil or butter for edibles because I can’t/won’t smoke it. `
