how hard is it to grow tobacco at home?

Question

I would like to try and grow my own tobacco and try to make my own smokes. has any one done this and what do I need to know before I get started?

Answer 1

Burley tobacco seeds are available from Gurney's seed and nursery as well as others.
Easy to grow, smells good in the flower garden. In fact ornamental tobacco is a popular flower. As for the flavor, that might disappoint you. Your smokes are made from blends some of which are aged or cured in specific ways. Flavoring is also added, including vanilla chocolate and licorice so you might not like the taste of natural tobacco.

Answer 2

The reason pot is illegal is because the government classified it as a narcotic. There has never been a concluded research in regards to its effects. If pot was legal, there would not be a way to tax the pot people grow in their homes and gardens, thus the government made it illegal. It is hard to regulate something that nature provides. Any of the so-called research the government has attempted totally discounts the positives that patients report from their use. It is prejudice and bias . The only research that needs to be done is to offer all high ranking government officials the option to have a chauffeur drive them that drank a six pack and and some liquor or a chauffeur that smoked a couple of joints. sure they may arrive a little later but better late than never...
