    During prohibition grape (formerly wine) producers sold grape juice with the warning label “don’t store in a cool dark place for multiple weeks or this product may become illegal”. (or something to that effect) You can do much the same with any grain or fruit.

    For Marijuana you have to at least get seeds/the plant first, which are now a controlled product. Yeah it’ll grow anywhere (hence “weed”), but you still have to source it and plant it somewhere with sunlight.

    Brewing at scale and/or for a specific product is difficult, making alcohol is easy.

      If you know a guy to get weed from…you know a place to get a handful of seeds and stems ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

      But I get what you’re saying…I didn’t know about the grape juice, that’s a fascinating little nugget of history. Thanks for sharing it
