You can make as much beer or wine as possible in your own home and give it to whom ever you want, but as soon as the abv volume goes over say 25% then its illegal..

You can get just as much drunk from either of the alcohol liquids, whether it be beer wine vodka etc.....

If we all were selling it for profit,or giving massive amounts away, then in my eyes yeh it is illegal, but if i make something and put it into my body thats fair to me..

You can make bio fuel and put it in a vehicle and go out on the road and drive, yet you cant make any for your body :(

One only needs to look back in history to see that only 200 years ago (or less) what are termed 'hard' drugs were infact legal just as is smoking today.
Look at America with Prohibition, times change and so do laws; it seems that everything is ok in moderation. Booze is legal here, but not in other countries, so as we are all human and have the same makeup its obviously not all about health.
Governments demonise everything they are against at the time, including the leaders of foreign countries. They are even targeting buying cheap fake goods (have you seen the handbag advert). You have to be careful of 'social brain washing' some of which is built into soaps like 'The Bill & Coronation Street'
So to sum up - the law is the law, whether you make a little moonshine or grow a little grass. The only difference is how YOU see what’s illegal or not thus you do what you do.

The only thing that really bothers me is the association with drugs. Making shine, even a bunch of it can be no different than a legal distillery as far as quality/safety/etc. But once drugs are added into the picture, as far as I'm concerned, they're just criminals in the public's view. Both are illegal but "illegal vodka" has a different ring to it than "drugs" on the evening news.
Regardless, if they did have "hundreds of gallons", it was no small operation. Look at the reasoning behind it. Alcohol is massively taxed, so you make your own and you can have a cheap drink. Pot is an illegal substance and you can't get it legally. Possessing drugs is all around bad. Period.

We have stopped people enjoying a perfectly legal substance without the said people having to pay a massive 75% tax on it.
