because of the high taxes....

I detest all drugs, legal and illegal. When the pro-marijuana crowd kept advocating for legalization, I kept asking why they wanted marijuana to be legal. That would mean it would be taxed, regulated, and potency would be dictated. The only reason the gov legalizes anything is to tax and control it.

So now my question is: It's a weed. What's to stop people from growing their own, now that it's legal?

It’s still illegal to grow your own in WA

...though I don’t know of any requirement that you need to retain your receipts to prove where you bought it.

Because you can't grow dandelions, wild blackberries, or scotch broom, and then harvest them, dry them, and smoke them to get a buzz.
