Regarding the localised thing:

I hear what you're saying about localised production, but then Megacorp has the benefit of economies of scale. Thus we see lots of things that can be done cheaply locally being done on massive scale in far-off lands and imported.

We can all brew our own beer easily for next to nothing, but almost none of us do. And the shops are full of imported stuff that undercuts much of the domestic craft stuff. My guess is the cannabis market would go the same way.

not that I'm advocating prohibition, far from it. I'd rather have Nestle cannabis than stuff sprayed with unknown chemicals, paying no tax, organised by beatings and killings.

Regarding child labour:

I wasn't saying I think that's happening, I was saying that the illegal immigrant thing is. Certainly, lighting and heating can be regulated automatically, but the watering and spraying for pests is a hand-done thing.

The child labour thing seems less likely to be common for all the reasons you cite.
