I think this is the most realistic thing that's been said on this thread. In Manitoba we have the largest gov't grow op and they are underground in an old mine. If weed goes legal or at least decriminalized there is money to be made by the gov't and for the weed industry we have.
You walk in and drop off a resume to grow weed for the gov't and you have included 10 years experience growing, show pictures, notes, and include samples and you'll get a job, hell they'll probably give you a fancy title.
Not to mention that the gov't would probably buy weed of certain standards off private growers. Not to mention some investers with the buck to do it are going to jump on the wagon for their chunk of dough. Think of all the cigarette companies out there, gov't regulated but still open for companies to put out new brands, and employ new people.
Then there's the fact that you will still have a source of steady loyal customers due to reputation, and the fact that people hate giving the gov't cash even if it is just tax.
Plus how many people are going to come out of the closet and take up smoking once it's legal. Weed could compare to alcohol and tobbacco, look at the possible un tapped market and possibility for eveyone.

Squirmy babe, gotta go
