The government can grow their own tobacco, but they can't smoke it on federal property.

I see a full pack of Winston Lights getting buried under six inches of dirt in the near future, watered daily.

And exactly why did your wife leave you and still maintains custody of the kid(s)?

 

[ivantheterrible]

fuck off eyer. i left her. and she took off with the kids because she's a paranoid control freak bitch.
what does this have to do with mike being a grown adult asking stupid fucking questions? i'd expect that out of a kid. but an adult?

You don't remember posting something like this?

You really need to get over yourself fantasizing you're such a tough guy, 'cause you're ex surely figured-out what a fraud you are a long time ago...

...once the bruises you put on her healed.

BTW:

Aren't you the same ivanthevictim who whined like a little girl in PMs to another poster here...

...when the poster Grace abandoned you, too?

Not in the UK: Legal Advice but the EU requires the product to be taxed.

How do they do that? Ride by and put a tax on it when you're rolling it to smoke?

If you read all the link, they don't know and probably don't care.

 

[ivantheterrible]

the question is, what do they NOT tax in the UK?

I re-read it. At first glance, it seemed to contradict itself.

Yes, it does.

Reading between the lines, this is an EU regulation that the UK doesn't care about. The cost of collecting the tax would probably exceed the amount gained.

There are so few people growing their own tobacco in the UK that taxing their product that they grow for their own use is not cost-effective.

One of my uncles used to grow his own tobacco in the 1950s and 60s. He used it in a large Meerschawm pipe and it was much stronger than commercial pipe tobacco. He gave me some (that was illegal even then!) and I tried rolling it into cigarettes. It was too coarse to make reasonable cigarettes so I used it in a churchwarden pipe - an 18 inch long clay pipe.

It was too strong for me to use in a standard pipe.
