>I've spent 18k on bullshit taxes, fees, inspections, registrations, bribes... since 2018
Ftfy. A small patch in your back yard could produce more weeds than you and 4 clones of yourself could ever hope to smoke through. 99% of that $18k went to something besides the actual cost + profit for the farmer. For this reason, it is disingenuous to suggest that not smoking weed saves money. By default weed is basically free, they call it weed for a reason after all. Same with tobacco and alcohol. The government is evil and everyone has there hands out to steal money or molest children. That is all government does, steal and molest. Even normal stuff like apples and zucchinis. The farmer sells for very low price, because food is abundant and easy to grow. Then government steps in and suddenly that $1 costs $100. And even after that they have the nerve to steal a sales tax from you just to let you walk out with your food that you bought with your money. I am angry about this.
