It seems to me the ultimate anti-freedom that I can't grow a plant at home if I want to.

I'm sure there's other plants it applies to (like certain mushrooms?) but to me, the FIRST thing that should be legalized (after controlled medical use anyway), is the freedom to grow small quantities at home for non-commercial use. I.e. that people can grow their own but not sell it.
