But where do you draw the line? Say you grow a little for you and your mates, that’s a good thing it keeps you clear of dodgy dealer types. But then you start growing a bit more and then you dont need to work anymore because your making enough money from the sale of the bud. Is this wrong? You wont be paying tax on the money you earn and you will probably have to sign on to hide the way your funding yourself…..
I dont have the answers. I am just aware that there is a fine line.
considering the way the government spends my money, and the level of participation i am afforded by this pale imitation of democracy, i wouldnt say that tax evasion is a neccessarily bad thing. however, it is most of the time, as i cant really justify stiffing hospitals and schools of my money, just cos we are also blowing up innocents in other countries.
at the end of the day, its the law at fault for criminalising herbal horticulturalists in the first place. if the law wasnt there, there would be no need for the growers to sign on, just to appease the taxman, they would be allowed to make their proper contribution back to society, instead of being forced to hide a “crime” that has no victims. in fact, i know at least three disabled people who would be have a considerably lower quality of life if it was not for their medicinal marajuana, and whom the state persecutes for merely taking medicine!
virtually all problems asscoiated with drug use are there percisely because they are illegal, and that they feed criminality. but if they were properly taxed there would be more than enough money to provide the support that drug users need form time to time. also, if they were legal they would have to be high-purity, so we can all enjoy the uncut goods that usually only the super-rich get to bosh. everybodys happy.
