Sawzaw - Tax it??? Why tax it at all? I said I wanted the power put in the hands of the people, right? Not the government. I suggest legalizing it for home cultivation and private use only...and most definitely not taxing it or regulating it...beyond requiring that it not be given to minors. To tax it would require the setting up of a vastly complicated and expensive system involving inspectors, paperwork, and all kinds of bureaucratic nonsense like that, and it could only result in harassment and oppression of the general public, in my opinion.

Specialty coffees? Yeah, there's a wonderful variety of those available now and some of them taste great....but I've still given it up anyway. If it doesn't bother you, though, then enjoy it, with my blessing. ;-)
