Producing alcohol on your own is too difficult to be a threat to government revenues. Hardly the case with marijuana. The first and only time I ever did it, with two seeds, no expertise and very little effort, I grew enough to last me more than a year.
Try that with whiskey.
I’ve never seen the pro-pot crowd so enthusiastic about being taxed. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone...
Aren't you one of the pro-pot crowd?
“Producing alcohol on your own is too difficult to be a threat to government revenues.”
It’s pretty simple to produce, actually, even at small-industrial scales. It’s the vicious relentless enforcement that makes it a pain.
Grow cannabis at the same scale, if it were “legal and taxed” and I imagine BATFEW would kick your doors down and drag you off, just like if you had a barrel a month still.
They’d be enthusiastically backed by the wholesale and retail cannabis industry.
