Likely true, and reminds me of an amusing and revealing story. There was a craft brewery that started to become popular and had to hire a relatively large number of employees to run the operation. Word got out that nearly everyone who worked there used cannabis, so police got an investigator to spy by getting hired to work in the brewery. They repeatedly asked other employees if they could buy cannabis from them, but every time the employees responded by freely sharing cannabis.
Much cannabis culture is not strongly commercial. People grow and share. Maybe there is something in that which software developers could learn from.
I mean even a small operation can grow more than one person can ever smoke in their lifetime in short order.
Any other commercial crop that we grow at scale is sold in the dollars per ton range. Outside of a few special cultivars there is no practical reason said drug is expensive and easily shareable for nearly free.
