“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.
One seed under one light with a couple of sheets of tin foil will produce about 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana, if done properly (and I did it properly on my first try with no help). That’s enough to last the average hard-core stoner about three months.
Tell me which spirit I can manufacture a three month supply of as easily, and how it’s done.
