Really? Can you grow your own tobacco? Can you distill your own booze?
Not without a ton of gubmint interference, you can’t.
Apart from limits on amount, what "gubmint interference" is there on home-brewing?
And the same thing would happen if ever pot was legalized. If you think Big Brother would let you grow a few plants in your back yard without taxing them, then you are missing the point.
Home brewed alcohol is not taxed (as far as I know).
The main point of legalizing dope is to tax it and increase the size of government.
Again... just like with tobacco and booze.
So it would be better to ban tobacco and booze than to let government tax them? You really think that's the small-government position?
You are correct.
