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...
ROTFLMSO...re your "self taught" bit. And so, you make your own aspirin, penicillin, amoxicillin, etc., I suppose. Have you also studied, all on your own, dentistry, surgery, and manufacture of surgical and dental implements as well? And if not...WHY NOT?
You obviously have NO eyewitness/lived through what it was like prior to the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACTS, nor do you understand just WHY they were passed. All you can do is post truly silly, fringe opinions, and then berate those of us who don't agree with you.
So why not just go off the grid now, including getting off the net? Go live your lets pretend life, as though it were 100s of years ago, as that is obviously what you imagine is the ONLY "freedom" in the world.
Just don't believe that you are clever nor special; you aren't; nor are you the only one who is dumb enough to come up with this very old ( the last group that proposed this crap was the hippies [ who were Communist/ic and so are you ] and before them the religious groups ( the Hutterites, Amish, Mennonites, the Shakers, etc. ), and then, there were/are the various cults, throughout the ages.
Of course I support keeping illicit substances illegal; intelligent people do!
