Your examples are not relative to mmj... something closer would be tobacco, and maybe foodcrops that are sold fresh.
The tomatoes and strawberries and cukes I grow in my backyard aren't regulated at all, so why should the cannabis I grow in my basement be regulated, or worse yet banned outright. I didn't ask for a list of other things that are needlessly regulated, I asked for a reason why this particular commodity cries out for regulation. I see no reason why tobacco should be regulated either
