you are right, perhaps i figured you would understand the correlation and see the humor in it. i am, by the way, a notorious smart ass. i like to laugh and fuck around, it's better than dealing with pain and an inevitable end. so, to clarify, i'll explain my examples...
willow bark isn't illegal. but you can't make aspirin and sell it without fda approval.
as far as i know, it is illegal to grow tobacco privately in sc. you must have a license. not only my family (on the farm i grew up on) taught this, but it was well known in our county, and all surrounding. i don't feel like looking it up, but i've only ever seen on farm in my area with tobacco, and they DID have a license. this means you are probably right, or that it is legal some places but not necessarily others...
my family still has a grape vine brought back from italy at the end of wwII. we also grow scupernomes and muscadines. there was a gallon limit when i was young, don't remember what, but homemade wine and beer are all over here in fall/winter. you can't make whiskey, at all. illegal. no stills permitted whatsoever. so no selling, no whiskey legal. get caught with a still and no license, and it's prison.
ethanol fuel permits are ethanol fuel permits. you can drink it, but you better not get caught if you are permitted. they do regular inspections...
so if i'm unreliable, oh well, i guess that's what google was invented for. however, the fda and pharma aspect is a very real threat. try to make and market percoset if you don't believe me. i'm not out to 'bring you around' to my way of thinking, i only want you and others to think, and find out. grab an x-file, the truth is out there...
