How is a person "in it for the money" when they are growing within their plant count? Most people who follow the laws wouldn't have grown when it was illegal. As JJ said, if you can't sell it then what's the point? I would break the plant count for some mothers, but I can see why the average law abiding citizen wouldn't want to risk it.
That said, I miss the outlaw element. The culture has changed, and while I'm glad people are no longer getting locked up, I don't feel like I have much in common with the the average modern "stoner" who has had a card most or all of their adult life.
