I use the term "grower" to mean someone who is growing it for their own adult personal use. A grower carefully cultivate their small number of plants without the use of pesticides and other, harmful products since they don't want that in their finished product.
Anyone who has hundreds of plants and is actively selling it is a drug dealer. Drug dealers use pesticides, strong fertilizers, etc because all they care about is quantity.
Growers don't tend to have guns and tens of thousands of dollars in cash lying around. Growers don't give samples of their product to junior high and high school kids to get them interested in future buying. Growers won't also be found with meth, hash, cocaine, heroin, etc. The drug dealers are routinely discovered with all sorts of those other drugs.
I think there is a big difference. Let the DEA get all the drug dealers they want.
