rom my POV it is better the govt.. ie the people ( Roll Eyes )
get the taxes than the crims get the cream, and the rest of the profit as well.

Why would you rather crims get rich ??
Never could understand THAT ... Angry

I wouldn't. I'd rather that if someone wants to grow some weed for themselves, the government doesn't hold it's greedy little paws out for a payment, under threat of imprisonment. None of their business if people have a herb or vege garden, and it's still none of their business if said herb garden should contain 'superior herbs. The only 'crims' in this equation is teh gov.

In the fullness of time...

I don't see why it can't be both legal to grow your own (without being taxed) and the government supply their own grown and bagged product. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

I know that I simply couldn't be f-cked growing my own and would much rather pay for a deal from somewhere like a bottle shop.

I have no problem with paying for gear from the government.

yeah it shouldn't be either , or..
I'm just saying... better we benefit as a society, than criminals making even more billions..

I think.. people should be able to grow their own.... it should be a personal choice, not a legal nightmare.

And I have no objections to 'addicts' .. registered.. as is common practice.. to be provided with their poison... rather than rob others for the cash. I mean it IS happening ... just our pollies are truly ignorant about the life many of their constituents lead.
Everyone jumps to judgement and condemnation..
