Someone gave me a small plant in exchange for some work I did for them a tear or so ago. That little plant produced almost a pound of ganja and I almost never partake so I'm pretty well set for life. I'm not sure this is going to go like they think it will.

Smoking it, not so illegal. What you just described, I think the opposite. Using it for payment, the person having to account for it in their taxes (and likely not). A standard citizen (in stead of a higher class one with govt permission) owning a pound.
Marijuana does grow like a weed afterall. lol
I remember a few decades back, a guy in Oklahoma was selling maps that showed where wild MJ groves were. The police didn't know what to arrest him for. He wasn't selling drugs, maybe contributing to the delinquency of a minor if he sold the maps to teens.

Not immoral, but illegal.
It shouldn't be any more illegal than other forms of barter as long as it's a legal product in the first place. I'm a big advocate for bartering and try to use it whenever possible. Gov't can kiss my trading ass.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

In my own situation, eating it made me more sick at times and is far harder to "fine tune"... but I think my sister made the edibles too strong. I used a VapirOne vaporizer which doesn't put the bad stuff in your lungs and it only takes a little at a time to get instant relief from nausia and gave me more of an appetite (which is VERY important).
Very cool of you to help your friend this way!

When the public voted in legal mj, my understanding is the vote was specific to say it cannot be sold or used for anything of value, this was legally removed.
I don't like the laws, but bartering of things that still are legally allowed to retain value still has employment, sales, income tax and other consequences. I dont like it. It pains me to even used phrases like "things that are legally allowed to retain value". I wish people would think about this, but when you voted in legal MJ, this book was opened wider.
Kinda ironic, the laws being broken as one improperly trades or buys or sells a small amount of MJ now are larger than when it was illegal. But we live in the new world where the laws will only be enforced if they want to get you. Enjoy all the laws with no rule of law.
You need to think about the economy in new ways as we vote to restrict it more. Pot was not legalized as a normal good. It was allowed under a highly contorted system that will be highly selectively enforced. So trade and barter on, but it is illegal from my understanding without a lot of paperwork and taxes. Societies rules, most certainly not mine.
