You're partly joking, but there's only 1 thing stopping that, and it's the risk of consequences. Everything else about it, especially the ability to help people directly, appeals quite a lot. I can understand how certain activists/crusaders have ended up in hot water over such things. People like Rick Simpson, who grew and extracted for thousands of people in Canada before being criminalized and outcast. The drive to save and improve lives is strong. Also, being paid in Steem would be a fun bonus, heh.
