Yep its why Big Pharma wants it to remain illegal. Making whiskey is waaaaay harder than growing pot. YET making your own whiskey is illegal because the gub'ment couldn't tax it.
They cite safety concerns but that is a huge load of rubbish, its all about the moola.
When pot gets totally legalized and it will, there will be no tax boon. It will be grown in gardens right along side tomatoes.
And in ditches right along side the bodies.
