It doesn't matter whether I do - I'm only making a mess here and in my kitchen, not all over half the world or more. I'm happily applying what knowledge I have knowing that there's not much damage done in my case. I'm most happy on those days when I realize another dogma somebody preached to me without thinking can be discarded. Where I live, knowledge is about the only thing one is allowed to legally distill even though many people in N.A. at least think it is illegal.
