Yeah the point is it's not illegal to grow, and certqinly not MORE illegal than cannabis. I've grown my own and tried smoking it though, and nobody who's tasted plain, home-grown tobacco would have any desire at all to continue smoking the shit and pay for it? Pft
Nicotiana Tobaccum is so mild you cannot taste anything but air, when it's dried and rolled. I would expect that you would *have to* either compress it or made some kond of 10x extracted leave to have any chance of tasting anything at all.
Nicotiana Rustica is meant to be much stronger, but I couldn't get my hands on any seeda back when I grew mine out. Got loads of seeds at flowering though. They're about 10x smaller thwn poppy seeds, so you get an assload of em, but then I lost em somewhere along the way.
But whatever-his-name was up a few posts claiming it to be illegal. Pft. Unless you have some cuban tobacco wizard to cure it into so ething useful, all you're gunna end up with is mulch.
