Feds could be looking at a bigger picture. In some states 1000 plants is 1000 charges and so just because of the number of counts the Feds could be looking at RICO violations.
There has to be some serious assets involved for the feds to intervene . They like to seize large amounts of cash and valuable assets when it comes to drugs .The change is left for the state and local law enforcement .
If someone gets caught with that amount there in theory will be a shitstorm following, potentially reaching his network of people, even if they were involved directly or not
