This police estimate is entirely false. You should be ashamed of printing something with absolutely no evidence that it is true. It's nothing but anti-pot propaganda from law enforcement.  Additionally, the state is at fault for any and all actual woes. There should not be any more regulation or taxation than if someone wants to open up a little craft brewery or a little distillery that makes hipster gin.  A person can brew their own beer at home no problem. 
And I start all my tomato seedlings indoor every single year and grow over 20 different varieties of heirloom tomatoes.  Not to mention tons of other garden seedlings.  Lots of people do grow tomatoes inside. It's not my fault that chubby cops don't eat and grow vegetables so they are clueless about it. I also grow lettuces and herbs and other crops that are easy to grow with aeroponics throughout the winter because it saves a ton of money and I avoid all pesticides and get exactly what I want compared to grocery store garbage.
