You're part Marxits/STINKING COMMIE and part benighted fantasist Randian; a horrid combination!
You don't have a degree in chemistry, pharmacology, nor are you a doctor. What you want to do is stupid and extremely childish!
Just how much of your own food DO you really grow?
Do you also keep livestock, chickens, and a chemistry lab in your twee home in NYC? In which borough?
And don't post lies...I'm a born & bred New Yorker!
You yearn to "go off the grid", do ya? WELL THEN, JUST DO IT! You won't be able to survive; I trow.
I'm self taught in many subjects including chemistry and as a self employed professional have the ability to live between NYC and a rural location. I've lived offgrid there fulltime before. I also have another farm overseas a caretaker primarily watches but its still much work before anyone can live on it. I do serious vertical farming in NYC as well. Both backyard and rooftop.
If someone wishes to study and do something on their own time in their own home why threaten them with damn guns? Why get so violent over people's private life? Someone *might* hurt themselves so you want surveillance of innocent people and an army to bust doors down over the wrong plant?
I'm 100% anti-commie and pro freedom and anti government thugs. The WOD accepts the god damn government choppers watching us and jackboots pointing machineguns at people over some stupid little potted plants and mushrooms! Just stop for a moment and think about how absurd that is! Are you seriously supporting such a ridiculous thing? Common now, it's all just laughable...
