They could always grow it at home or have a dealer.

Remember part of freedom is being responsible.

 

Yep, they could.  You'd still, likely, have to pay tax on the seeds and your dealer would probably charge you tax as well.  Seriously sean, if the feds legalized it tomorrow, do you think they wouldn't come up with some way for them to get a take of every sale that took place? If they legalized it tomorrow, then the smugglers would stop bringing it in since the street value would drop to almost nothing.  Once the supply dries up, everyone will have to buy it from reputable dealers who probably had to pay tax on it somewhere down the line.

These are the same people who are trying to introduce taxes on just about everything out here in California.  The latest was an idea to charge a 25 cent fee for each plastic bag you need at the grocery store.  That was an effort to get people to stop getting "one use" bags.  I don't know about you guys, but we usually end up using the bags as trash can liners, so they aren't really "one use".
