God made pot, mushrooms, but actually god made us .. so in turn he made wine and all other fermented drink via us .. he never said drink all ye want get trashed beat you neighbor , your wife, your kids, and all the other negatives that come with the fermented beverages when you dont partake in moderation.
As with all things god put on this earth it takes some goof ball to say hey wonder if that is eatable, gets stoned, wanders around the woods for days, then tells all his buddies hey .. eat this this is great then laughs watching all his friends stumble around the woods , then they tell all there friends .. and then the whole village is falling around the woods .. then some gov official sez hey you cant do that unless you pay a stumble tax... some pay the tax.. others run to grab all they can so they can do it in the cave away from others.. then the gov catches some of them who didnt pay the stumble tax.. gets mad and sez .. fine no one can stumble.. and they destroy all the stumbler berries.. only some had stashed some of the berries.. and then they started growing their own...
So did God make it a sin and illegal or did the gov just get mad cause they couldn't control it >?
So then the gov realizing that they had two choices sell and tax it.. or spend countless hours chasing those who did .. but yet by chasing those who did ...they realized they created lots of jobs in chasing the growers.
Years went by .. the main source of income.. hunting dragons.. had disappeared because the dragons were hunted to extinction.. and so the gov said humm we need more tax money to pay the people that chase the growers of the berries !!
SO some gov official that was afraid that he wouldn't be re-elected decided that making it legal but controlling it would stimulate jobs, creating new jobs in taxation, farmers, transportation, advertising, etc etc .
But wait the chasers where now out of work .. so the government stimulated the economy again .. by dumping lots of berries on to the market to drive down the price to stimulate sales.. pretty soon the economy flourished.. the people cheered and the the government basked in glory.. !!
But Then the other countries that hated the land of berries, because they had none .. bombed the land of berries .. and all was back as it was no jobs and tax money .. the people proclaimed a revolt .. the land of berries was in ruin .. all because some fool in a field tried it .. now they roamed the world in search of food once again .. and another fool said hey wonder what that tastes like.. and the remaining people of the land of berries stoned him.
The end
Ok I think Ive had one too many berries, and one too many beers lol
