    Works in other countries at least. Here in Germany they just pay income tax, like everyone else. Actually they are freelancers usually…

    On the other hand, Germany is still a bit backwards regarding cannabis legalization… but we are working on it.

      Illegal income is taxed, technically, but paying that tax would also basically be a confession. That’s how they got mobsters back in the day. So there ends up not being any when you’re right and there absolutely could be good tax revenue there

      Hell, it’s not federally banned, so it’s just states not being willing.
