Before the pandemic I was going into the office twice, occasionally three days a week and working from home the other days, that was just about perfect for me. Working from home full time has been nice though, at first the isolation kind of bothered me but now it just feels normal. I've saved a ton of money overall, I haven't been eating out for lunch 2-3 days a week, I haven't been spending $15-$20 a week on bus fare, I haven't put gas in my car since February. Regardless of what the pandemic does I don't plan on going downtown until all the civil unrest has fizzled out, I loathe crowds and angry mobs are absolutely terrifying.

I miss going to the office, there is a "randomness factor" missing from the genetic algorithm of work and life, as a result!

And how did you find out how to make alcohol?someone told you,or you read it somewhere, you've researched the theory.You decide to grow weed,you research ,once youve the seeds it can be as simple as chuck em in the ground and wait,much easier than brewing even the most basic rotgut hooch.

No, I made alcohol accidentally. No books, Internet or research were required. When I was a teenager, I discovered unpasteurised apple juice would turn into cider if left for long enough. I didn't know why at the time, but now I know it's because the natural yeast on the fruit skin caused it to ferment into alcohol.
Alcohol forms naturally on its own in piles of rotting fruit. It's impossible to ban, because unlike other drugs such as cannabis or opium, it doesn't require a specific plant to make. It doesn't require any land or light and can be made in a cupboard, where no one can see. I bet prisoners growing weed is much more rare than making hooch.

Try distilling your own poteen in the UK and see how long it takes for you to find out it's banned.
Anyway, on both cases:
Chucking some apples in a barrel and hoping to get beautiful scumpy jack.
Throwing some seeds in the dirt and waiting.
Will most likely not produce what you wanted. To get quality worth your effort you need to go quite a bit further.

I agree. The cider I wasn't good, but at least it got me drunk which was the desired result. Alcohol can be made with any food containing carbohydrates, such as bread. The same can't be said for cannabis. You can't ban a substance which is so easy to make and even forms on its own.
