Agreed. This keeps the quality of it well controlled. I'm surprised they'd even consider letting people grow it themselves, and not treat it like hard-alcohol. Frankly, any victory in this department is a good one. I think 10 plants is seen as a clearly entrepenueral endeavor, thus it should be taxed. And I agree, what incentive is there for the government to legalize it if it can't make some form of revenue?

No taxes, no age requirement.

I mean, hemp as a food source gives your body rare omega fatty acids, hemp seed cleans cholesterol out of your body like a fucking degreaser, plastics can be made from hemp oil that can take 10 times the impact a sheet of steal can without denting, and it doesn't pollute like modern plastic manufacturing, paper can be made from hemp and completely cut out using trees for paper, fuels can be made from hemp oil (the Ford Model T was made out of hemp plastics and made to run on hemp oil, Henry Ford actually had huge fields of hemp), the list goes on and on.
When people realize that it was issues such as THIS that are at least 50% of the reason that the greatest plant known to man was outlawed, then the prohibition will start making more sense. It was a MONEY issue. And the money people financed the propaganda machines, using the bud as the reason to outlaw.

Now, that's just unrealistic. If pot is ever legalized, that's the route it will (and should) go. Advocating for legal weed that's untaxed and without an age restriction is just going to delay legalization.
I pay my taxes. I pay taxes when I buy cigars and beer. I would be happy to pay taxes for weed.

Hell. I would be happy If I could grow just one plant. 
The ones complaining have issues or are trolls.

Eventually, there should be no taxes or age requirement. The government needs to find ways to create wealth other than taxing its citizens.
