neither should these lying criminal oppressors in government stand to benefit from tax funds they will only use to kill and violate the Constitution with.
GIY obviates these schemes and legalization or decriminalization without the freedom to grow what you want is unacceptable.
anyone who thinks they can count on revenue from such an easily cultivated plant is a little too high or LYING.
