As far as I can tell the government in at least Aus, America and UK are leaning towards the side of tougher penalties for growers, dealers and lesser punishments for users. If everyone grew that would just piss them off more.

I will be the first to admit that it seems pretty idealistic to hope for what I suggested.
But since you asked, humor me if you will.

There is no way to know at all, but if you could speculate the ratio of growers to users, what do you think that may be? 3%? More? Less? I dunno. I am betting it's low.

For the sake of argument, if every single person that used cannabis, no matter their reason, grew, then what do you think would happen? Who would LEO go after? No one would be selling. Those that tried, would be laughed off the face of the earth. Usually, what gets anyone busted, is the sale or purchase of cannabis. NTM, the incidental unrelated circumstances that also do. But primarily, the highest risk comes from the purchase and sale transaction. Take that out of the equation, your prosecution of cannabis users/growers/ would be next to nill.
That's how it would help. All of this is just pure speculation, sorry for the threadjacking here, just wanted to give respect to the poster and answer the question. I understand this is not what the thread was originally about nor was it the original intent of the OP, I throw myself onto the mercy of the image reaper!
I will shut the fuck up now and hope that someone else can bring this back on topic, since I kind of de-railed it with my previous rant, which lead to the question, then this post.
Again, I apologize, and am done now. :stoned::jointsmile:
