I would be very careful with that. Not official alcohol for example can be very dangerous if the person making it does not know about methanol, which is toxic. If it is not destilled properly, it can end up in the final mix and cause dangerous problems. I guess it goes with other drugs as well. People will still make a profit from it, just without taxes. It's just easier to justify having some plants at home. So the state is missing out on drug taxes, which could be quite high (lol).
So by creating drug stores, where you can buy controlled, legal drugs would be a lot mor profitable for the state, healthier for society and better for the consumer.
This half assed weird regulation will be used by the conservative parties to justify blocking further legalisation by arguing it's already free I guess
