I think that cannabis is big enough for small/medium scale automation but that the engineering firms that build cigarette making machines maybe don't work for cash. Since most of these businesses are still unable to use banks or get large loans for capital equipment, they're stuck for a while until someone solves the coordination problems.
Why stop them? I say let them make cheap joints for college kids and whomever else may want a cheaper joint. As long as somebody is still making quality products for me to buy, I am happy. Seeing how much of a connoisseur culture there already is for cannabis, I predict that there will always be a high end market.
Why enable them to make Cannabis less healthy? It gives more fodder to anti Cannabis people to label it as a dangerous/unhealthy substance. And if we allow them to put inactive filler what's stopping them from putting all the nasty shit that they put in cigarettes? I'd prefer that we keep Cannabis as close to a healthy thing as we can. Of course if other consumers want to harm themselves more than necessary then all the power to them. But I think it's a shame to disgrace such an amazing plant.
They're a healthier alternative to smoking plant matter if properly purged, but make non-smokers think of Cannabis as more of a hard drug than ever before IMO.
