"To make money by brewing up cheap dangerous moonshine to undercut legal alcohol."

Yer catching on now Roscoe. You see, it is still illegal to make booze. And it is still expensive to buy legal booze. So them folks in the hills know they can brew some hooch up for pennies a gallon. Simple economics. If it was legal to grow pot, it would be so easy to do that the price would be very depressed. In fact, most dopers would just grow their own. It would be a lousy business to get in to. The pot pushers would be out of business. The DEA would have to find other work. The jails would be much less crowded. And most important, the government would waste less of my money chasing pot growers who now make so much money that they feel compelled to protect their expensive crops with explosives. It makes so much sense that I suspect people who would continue this war on pot are classic liberals who have a stake in some aspect of this farce. I bet they get paid by the government.....my taxes.....that is liberalism at it's best.

No, that's yet another falsehood on your part. It's by avoiding the regulations and taxes that are part of the legal process that moonshiners make money.

Oh, and moonshining didn't disappear at the end of prohibition, contary to your earlier false position.

You're batting .000 so far.
