stummer Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think most of the public now have a different attitude with weed compare to other drugs. Everyone knows someone who smokes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy01 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 You already pay tax on soil nutes unless you make them yourself which would still be tax free if legal I suspect. Ya good till your door comes off its hinges . If cannabis was leagilised the tax on soil ,lights ,nutes and all other things grow related would become like the tax on petrol and ciggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimweeder Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) If cannabis was leagilised the tax on soil ,lights ,nutes and all other things grow related would become like the tax on petrol and ciggies i very much doubt it mate. theres nothing to say that the grow nutes an medium is going to be used for cannabis or for normal veg/fruit etc. they wouldnt be able to add silly taxes that are higher than the normal tax we pay for normal every day items that can be used on any crop not jus cannabis. it would only be actual products that contained cannabis that would likely be taxed in a similar way to alcohol an cigs etc. pretty sure if i wanted to brew my own beer etc i dont have to pay th tax alcohol has on the products i need to actually make the brew. they used to have an tax in the form of a home brewers license that was required but they got rid of that in the 60's the worst case scenario imo would be some sort of growers tax or license that would be required to grow your own but that would be paid seperately an not added to the items required to grow cannabis. i doubt they would even be able to add a license fee tho, or if they did it wouldnt last very long. i certainly would not pay it an i doubt a lot of others would either.

Hughie Green Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Possession of cannabis can not be legalised because of the single convention on narcotics anyone who thinks or believes otherwise is ignorant of the facts and barking up the wrong tree.

Hughie Green Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Aye they did and there seems very little the UN can do about it, the only other route is to do what Bolivia did and sign out of the Single Convention, change their laws on Coca leaf possession and then sign back in again, that was due to the traditional indigenous use of Coca leaves, we have no traditional use of Cannabis so no chance of that and as you say it is highly unlikely our government will ever do anything sensible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing cannabis without a licence is illegal. The scenario you have described already exists. Cannabis can be grown with a licence, getting a licence is extremely difficult though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
