Buying 'pot' in a store would be taxed, like gasoline, cigarettes and other sales-taxed items. That's called a 'consumption tax' or a 'sin' tax. Growing-your-own is different: if you have the seeds, it would probably be legal to grow-your-own. But, if you had to buy the seeds, since most pot is 'sinsemilla" (from the Spanish 'sin semilla' = 'without seeds') here might be a tax on the seeds, like there is on most seeds, plants, trees, etc.<br><b>References : </b><br> You’re talking about 2 different things: buying vs. growing.
