That should be a popular setup these days. Save a few trips.

I find booze too cheap here to bother making it. I guess it could be a cool hobby. Kind of like growing weed here......why bother when you can buy a kilo of good bud for $4000 pesos.

Message for you CBob from AngusMactavish...

Tell CBob that I have sample 190 proof vodka, 140 proof Absinthe, and 100 proof whiskey samples, all made here by me and the system.

Also, growing your own weed is at least knowing what you're getting and how it's been cared for. I doubt I can get Granddaddy Purple here.

Well now that medical marijuana is legal here I suspect you will find those strains locally soon enough.....lol.

Are you sure this has passed? I thought the end of April was the deadline, not for approval, it has already passed the Senate, but for implementation. Ferret, I didn't know you had an appetite for the stronger strains. I grew a large organic crop of Big Bud last year but gave most of it way. That is half the strain of Grandaddy. If the legislation goes into effect, I will probably grow some White Widow, one of the most popular strains in the world. And CB, it sells for $1,200 US per pound.

An appetite? Hardly. One three ml. syringe of oil lasts me a year. Half a grain of rice worth every night as I climb into bed. It's for the suppression of REM sleep and controls the cataplexy. I want to try Grandaddy Purple because it is not only high in THC but also contains a lot of linalool which is more relaxing.
Not a good idea to put 2 and 2 together and assume anything.

Medical marijuana passed a few weeks ago. They have until April to pass recreational use.

As long as it comes with a free liver! This a single column reflux, it means you can make high quality pure ethanol, but it still has to be carbon filtered at least twice. Flavors are added by extracts. It cannot be converted to a pot still style, which you could then make natural tequila, fruit brandies, essential oils, etc. It is also very slow. You can see where the cool water has to go in and recycled through the entire process. The column should be stuffed with copper mesh which would have to be imported. The other "problem" here is that you can already buy cane alcohol (pure rum) 95%, for about 20 pesos a litre, then you have to purify the taste. Before you ask, I promised not to reveal the source.

Grandaddy purps is consider a high THC strain, up to 23%. If you are used to a "half a rice kernel", one puff of this is all you can take. The medical I have, The Doctor (which is not named for a medical doctor, but rather for the nickname of a famous motorcycle racer who had a tragic crash) is a balance of 6% THC and 6% CBD.

I don't PUFF anything and I do not want any CBD in my nighttime medicine thanks.
