you could grab and combine models to make another drug model or color it different
I like that idea, Changing the colour rather than the model. This won't use any more custom models because I'm pretty sure you can use a ent_fire command with an output.
Not a bad idea, but there comes many disadvantages when not using a new model. You can barely distinguish it from other types, cactus just looks awful when re-colored, etc.

I feel like this would be kinda cool,
At the moment there is only one drug that drug dealer can grow/sell, I think there should be a system like: one drug grows faster but gives less money, one grows slower but gives a little bit more money, and one is sort of balanced. I think this would make it feel like you could personalize the way you play the server a bit more, depending on your preference.
There's always been more drugs stocked up in the plugin, they are just never used for balancing purposes. Oh and speaking of balance . . .

Is issue with this is mass money making would be spammed, tipping the balance
The balance would be returned with the risk involved with it.
Just like in the real world, if you're caught with cocaine, you'll get a harsher punishment than someone getting caught with weed.
Another problem would be getting the drugs models, in CS:GO we're limited to how many "custom" models we can use.
Visualize a scenario in which there are a group of players working together. Risk as well as balance is destroyed when you're in a group or gang helping each other against rogue players. This applies to normal cactus, but when combined with the more riskier and powerful contraband, the economy just breaks. I don't want to fight it, so I'm not using the additional drug plant functionality, for now at least.
Honestly, the "more drugs" idea is just plain and purely unoriginal in my opinion. Money printers were added as a greater risk-gain subsidy item to create farming variety since Drug Dealer was popular. When you die you and drop the actual money from the printer rather than the grams, not to mention the chance of the printer exploding. That's all I got for this.
