"anyone can grow a cannabis plant" But most people probably don't want to any more than they want to grow anything else they consume. Most people just want convenience, and a professionally made (and marketed) product. They go for the brands and packaging of commercially made cannabis. A minority of users will grow their own, but it's very unlikely the majority ever will. That said, I agree we don't need the tobacco industry (or any other large corporation) getting in to selling cannabis. But they probably will no matter what we think. Ideally users would form cooperatives and the cooperative would grow enough to share among their members for free. But that's probably not going to happen on a large scale. Second best is a commercial market made up of local businesses, while keeping big corporations (including big tobacco) out. But that's probably not going to happen either. For good or ill, big corps (including big tobacco) are going to be part of the cannabis market for the foreseeable future.
