Just use your Brains! Examples of ???

Post by 1960FL »

So surfing the devils social media over the weekend and i found this add in Market place, messaged the chap and said you might not want to be putting this for sale here especially in the Peoples Republic of Maryland. He told me it was legal to distill for your own consumption :-0, I laughed and told him better do some homework and best of luck and left it at that.

Oh man. Didn’t someone get busted for selling a still a while back? I’m sure many have been busted over the years as a result of being stupid. You can distill essential oils legally to my knowledge.

Depends on where you are. My state laws just suck period. The way they are written, just having a distillation device will get you pinched. Doesnt matter if you have it solely to make essential oil, water or even for looks, a still is a still. I didnt bother looking into other states since I dont see my ass moving again.

Yet people still think you can make spirits for personal use. The last time someone rattled on about it, he said you were allowed 3 gallons per household. Couldnt make anymore until that 3 gallons was gone, but making 3 gallons was legal. After 30 seconds of him rambling, I just let him stay on his soap box. I didnt have time to slap him with the truth.

Same here. Anything that can be used to distill alcohol is illegal. Thats the law. The reality is my local HBS has 2 complete stills on the shelf for sale. I was going to say the last liquor bust was in 2014, but some dipshit set up next to school in mid year and got busted for his troubles.
Damn folks, this is the information age. Look up the law yourself or have a friend read it to you. Don’t tell! Don’t sell! Ben Franklin said it right,”three people can keep a secret...if two of them are dead.”
Double, Double, toil and trouble. Fire Burn and pot still bubble.
