5. This is a real part of the economy and should be normalized nationally.

Why should a commodity be forced out of the tax economy? Seriously, that's counter-productive to the public good. Likewise, local production is economic growth and balance of payment positive compared to importing the commodity because growing is criminalized. Time to quit sending cash out of the country.

6. Do the judges have to test the pot for potency?

I bet they had a long list of volunteers to do that.
Usually judges have to be certified to judge in a particular area so they would have to set up judging schools, etc.
