Pot Legalization

As a famous English writer once stated, "me thinks thou doth protest too much", or something along those lines. With the possibility of voters legalizing marijuana the already existing pot growers are starting to complain bitterly of being trampled and put out of business by the "big guys". They claim that with its' legalization pot will be growing "like weeds" across the country, as if it isn't already, and corporate farmers will take over leaving them, the "little guys", out of business. Oh, pshaw. Under all that talk about the fear of corporate farming takeover lies the real reason behind their whining, they'll have to enter the legitimate world of farming, which means state and federal taxation and regulation, certifications, labor laws and disputes, and health inspections, not to mention having to report to good old Uncle Sam every year. For years illegal marijuana growers have claimed they only wanted their crop to be legalized so they could grow and sell it without fear of reprisal. Someone should have told them to be careful what they wish for; looks like they just might get it. Leave it to the feds to come along and take all the fun out of pot growing.
