There was no incentive to risk trouble for growing marijuana when anyone with $10 could find plenty of excellent quality Mexican around. Most of the folks I knew who grew in the late sixties did so for personal and political reasons, although some early commercial homegrowers were already well known in the West and East Coast undergrounds when this Handbook was first written.
