I had thought about a permit system for growing.
Say that I wish to have a garden. If I have say 4 plants or less and am a legal adult then no permit is required.
If I wish to grow more say grow out 20 or so for breeding purposes then I would need a permit.
I thought this would be the regulation we could benefit from.
I thought that 1. paying for a permit generates revenue for the State and 2. permits help law enforcement deal with policing illegal gardens. 3. The desire to stay legal keeps us more honest in how we deal with Cannabis.
Taxes on Home Grown will be hard to collect. Sales Tax is the domain of commerce and if there was Permit, Medical and Sales Tax That would cover it I'd think.
I don't know how a permit system will work with the Feds but anything we do is in the face of the Feds and it has to be if we want change.
What do you all think of the permit suggestion?
I like the idea of cannabis generating revenue in any form and this permit idea is great. However, personally, I believe it's just a plant. I don't need a permit to grow a grapevine in my yard even though i could ferment that grape into a regulated substance. I don't like the idea of getting permission from the government to do something that should be our natural, god-given (if you're so inclined) right.
On the other hand, any laws enacted favoring the use of cannabis, I will happily, and respectfully abide by. This prohibition thing is just dumb.
