Can you grow your own tobacco? Can you brew your own beer? Can you raise your own beef, chicken, vegetables, etc?

Of course you can... but who does all that? It's far more convenient to buy it at a store. Weed's no different, except that perhaps more people grow their own right now because it's illegal to buy. But people are lazy. Weed growers in a weed-legal society will be just like home brewers.
