Agreed.
Unfortunately, congress typically does the bidding of big business. Especially when it's not immediately obvious to consumers. In this case, you cut the drug companies out of the loop (and out of a lot of money) if you have medication that patients can grow on their own.
It could lead down a path that would legalize marijuana. Thus, putting out of the job thousands of enforcement and corrections personnel.
Would it save billions and billions of tax dollars though? Yes.
