### Comment:
Just devil's advocate here: 
 Logistics to East Coast and Midwest, their central location, train systems, trucking systems allow distribution at lower cost?   
  
 I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons. 
  
 I personally see the big boys coming in a la AmBev during this IPA craze and distributing all the products from all the states.

### REPLY:
IIRC most Illinois farmers grow soy and corn for the profits specifically. I'd imagine they'd switch over the ganja in a heartbeat
