I totally agree... but I can sum up my reasoning in one word:

COMPROMISE :hippy:

It's been a hard fought battle on both sides, so if some type of understanding is made by both sides... the result of that will have to be a compromise. Yes... I wish we would go back to the old West where you could go on your porch with a 12 gauge and tell the police to get the FUCK off of your property. Unfortunately... at least for now, if you want some freedom... you gotta pay the tax man.

Again, I agree that the government should have NO right to tell me what to do to my body, but since they tax alcohol production... I assume that is going to be the preferred action in regards to legal Cannabis.

Haha if they DO start taxing tomato plants... I'm going to throw the white flag to the N.W.O. and accept the Brave New World.
