Most people won't even buy a pot of basil to grow on their window sill that requires nothing but watering every now and then. They'd rather buy their basil from the grocery store. Same with pretty much all the other "simple to grow" plants.
No way are most people going to invest all that money and watch hours of videos and then spend a lot of time, trial and error, probably more time to engage with the community to find out if they're doing it right or if the growth they're seeing is normal or contaminated, etc... it's just way too much trouble for most people.
Sure, some enthusiasts will do it anyway (just like some people like to brew their own beer) but they will always be in the minority.
One thing I could see happening is non-profit coops developing, with some interested people growing and then distributing their crop to non-growers for free or minimal cost... at least if the regulations that spring up around this allow them to do that. Even then, though, they will be in the minority.. just like food coops that do this sort of thing are in the minority now, even without all the regulation that will doubtlessly surround psychedelics.
