    The reason they put this kind of limits is to protect the income (of coming?) companies. Nobody wants pesky people growing their own stuff, but spending taxable money. Even nicer “for everybody” if the initial money comes from lobbying companies paying for the law to be favorable to them.

      Nhaa you’re projecting… It’s been tolerated for a while now and the « companies » are absolutely not being protected so far. As far as I know they can’t legally source their merchandise…
