Actually you can tax them for growing there own. That is how you control it. It's not FREE to grow your own Pot. You require a permit to produce your own personal usage. Since business and government will be the only ones allowed to produce in large enough quantities to actually be national suppliers.

This way, you pay your 480 bucks a year to get the permit, and you get the right to produce X-Amount of PERSONAL USE, which is a reasonable amount to keep most daily/weekly users happy.

People who don't pay to produce, and get caught, pay a hefty fine, no jail time. Fine = severity of violation on a sliding scale. At nth level of the scale, when your producing massive quantities illegally, welcome to do me in the boo boo prison time.

Don't make me have'ta Troll ya Bro!
