There is one major problem people and hams forget. Pot growing is legal
in some states, but it is illegal by federal law in all states and
currently the feds are known for not honoring state laws where pot is grown.
There have been a number of stories on on state news outlets.

Hi Ed,
Having worked directly with a "legal" grower, his main concern was
exactly what you stated... He was shocked myself and another ham could
locate him so quickly...
Evidently there are people called "Rippers", who visit the grow houses,
and as per this fellow, "beat hell out of you, and steal all the pot."
This evidently happens a lot in legal states. I get the impression
that the grower was more worried about the "Rippers" than law
enforcement.
I have learned a lot about pot growing as a result of RFI hunting.
Strange world we live in...
I can only hope full legalization happens sooner than later, and the
tobacco companies get in the business of growing. That way, the home
operations will slowly be reduced, and the big companies will be easier
to regulate.
Oregon is implementing testing of the pot grown for recreational use,
hopefully this will help reduce the number of home grows, the testing
is not cheap, and the record keeping requirements are large.
I also see the DOJ is cracking down on the "special" states to insure
adequate controls are in place... Hopefully these sorts of rules will
make it harder for the guy in his garage to legally grow...
