'kay..while I have this rush of energy and am working on 15 million different projects..I have a few questions, for anyone who can answer them...

What are the legalities (rules, tax stuff, etc) for running your own business, making and selling things?

What are the legalities in making perishables for market?
across state lines?

What are the legalities for making herbal preparations (_not_ medicinal) for market?
(ie do I need certification? does my kitchen/bathroom? is anyone regulating this at all?)
out of state?

There have to ways to find all this out, but I'm an admitted neophyte in the "real world", so assistance would be grovel-worthy...
