Ignore weed for a moment and let's just consider crops. Untill like 5 minutes ago it was normal for kids in Québec to make spare cash in the Summer picking crops, untill urban lefties , ( usually foreing urban leftists clutching pearls the hardest ) got offended and made it illegal.

By playing on people's easily manipulated sense of shame ''other places don't do it because it's CHILD LABOR DON'T YOU SEE HOW HORRIBLE IT IS NOBODY ELSE DOES IT!''

I did it. Basically every rural kid my age did. It's barely more boring than Summer camp. But you get paied.
