Hi --

I've been searching the forum and have found the word tobacco all over the place, but no real discussion of growing it at home to avoid taxes.

I assume lots of pot growers do it to avoid paying the high prices on the street? Since pot and tobacco are both semi-tropical plants, I would think that the cultural requirements would be similar.

Will some of the regulars here point me to an existing thread where I could compare growing tobacco and pot?

I have a large greenhouse and sell 1000's of garden transplants every year. I'm in N. Central Texas near Dallas. I don't have much hope that they will legalize pot for medical use in Texas any time soon.

Thanks!

Bob

Hi --

#1Raiderfan - Thanks for the link to the other site and I'll surely follow it up. But I'm looking for the proper place here to start a discussion about growing your own tobacco. Maybe I'll just poke around and see if I can find a general gardening area here. I've run my greenhouse and small farm for over 16 years now and can probably add to the discussion here about any kind of growing of plants for either food or entertainment! (grin)

Hi --

chitownsmoking, are you sure that tobacco is worse than some alternatives?

Nicotine has a calming effect on your body. How many people would have to take anti-anxiety drugs if they quit smoking tobacco?

Smoking lowers appetites and keeps people from becoming obese. Are you sure that's worse than taking diet pills?

Tobacco has many beneficial effects and I think that we should be very careful before we automatically damn something people have done for millenia. Is it possible that the anti-tobacco demonization by the government has worked on you?

Let's discuss it!

the only thing that works on me is dank ass bud. yeah i smoke ciggs like a fiend but i find the higher i am the less i want!!! tobacco is a curse to society!!! one day i will quit i promise. but i will smoke the green forever!!!

Hi --

chitownsmoking, maybe you would like a healthier alternative to smoking the commercial cigs with their pesticides and additives?

Think about putting in a crop of your own tobacco this coming spring. Not only will you save mucho dinero, but you can remove much of the cancer risks associated with the chemicals they use and the high heats they use for curing.

Smoke well, smoke healthy.

Howdy Bob, Lets make sure the tobaco companies don't grow weed when it becomes legal they'd just fuck it up adding all the legal chemicals so to make it as addicting as there fucking tobaco is .. Right Bob grow tobaco clean and it's not nearly as bad , probably tastes better too (smoked tobaco for over 20 years, been smokin pot for almost 40 ) I still prefer pot !!

Hi --


ol hippy, yeah, we can grow our own tobacco and make it stronger in nicotine too. I smoke a lot less, it's healthier smoke and doesn't caintina nearly the amount of bad stuff in commercial smoke.
