Just gonna let this rest for a while. I can see I've attracted some late teen early twenties people who've yet to live life and raise families. A lot of threads on this site and others are about growing ridiculous amounts of marijuana for personal gain, that's fine. What other place can you buy some product and not be taxed? It's great for those who are growing. You pay for start up costs: building your room, buying some seeds/clones, lights and nutes, and most importantly taking the risk to do so. Unless you're lucky enough to win the pot growing lottery by living in California or Amsterdam you are doing so illegally. Even in Cali, you're still illegal under U.S. law, but the state has sort of given up on pursuing you if you're small. My main concern is not that you grow or use. Again, for the fucking retards that seem to just state the obvious over and over again. I want people who sell any drugs to pay into the pool that the rest of us have to. If Javier X. gets shot selling weed on the corner you and I are paying into the health system that takes the bullet out and nurses him back to health. Meanwhile, that prick has given us nothing because he is currently outside the system.
