This kind of stuff wouldn’t happen if they’d just legalize it!

The problem is that the legalized stuff comes with many restrictions, taxes, and hands in the till. The illegal stuff can be produced and sold cheaper but still at huge profit.

I think the right analogy is to ending prohibition, but finding that moonshine production was popular. Anyways, "Moonshiners" was a fun quasi-reality show to watch, wasn't it?

Yes it was. I doubted some of it’s authenticity though.............

Good post

A legit large grown in colorado is a huge amount of paperwork

Most small grows of under 99 plants are freelance

In the rural areas I’m well acquainted with local cops don’t care if it’s locals with a moderate paperless grow

Often cops are doing it too

That’s definitely true near Crested Butte

And in Trinity county California

But the Feds and Mexican illegals especially from Sinaloa

It’s like the perfect brew

How "popular" is moonshine compared to legal alcohol? Or compared to during Prohibition?
