Starting a grow takes a lot of money upfront. Setting up an environment to grow can be complicated and might require some construction. Its going to take quite of bit of studying to learn how to grow marijuana properly, and then you have to pick up on a lot of the intangibles as you go, especially when it comes to troubleshooting. A lot of people aren't successful their first shot or they crop a harvest that is very isn't medicinal. Its a ton of work, stress, financial insecurity, and you always run the risk of getting raided. Probably a little less of a risk growing here than in Texas, but still a risk.
