Here in Canada, the Indian reserves do not have to pay the tax on many things including tobacco. If you want cheap smokes, go there. What will happen is if the reserves wanted to they could make it legal to grow hemp and medicinal pot and legally the government here in Canada would have to accept it or send the RMCP in to wipe out the growers. We have not had a good showdown with the natives in a long time. This would certainly be dangerously entertaining. The elders would say something like it is a harmless plant and we use it to eat and clothe ourselves. The government would be forced to explain why it is harmful drug and useless plant, both we know they cannot do. Then there will be a lot of bloodshed or the government would have to accept it. The second they accept it,there will be thousands of legal challenges to allow everyone else to do the same. The government is tough but it can be worn down.
