Sounds like the problem is capitalism then. Not weed.

Much less of an issue, so long as they also legalize home growers.

Any legalization will lead to the profitization of marijuana. Even if home growing is legal, that will first be marketed as a problem in comparison to good old fashioned, chemical laced, corporate weed. Then either lobbied away. The cynic has himself wrong, he is just observant.
