I looked into growing tobacco, even so far as tracking down seeds for my hardiness region. The difficulty with tobacco is curing it not growing it. There was a group here on FR around 2008 that was sharing info on building curing boxes, mostly to avoid taxes. Don't know how they wound up.

Another seed that most people don't think about are Poppies. They are alleged to grow exceedingly well in California. You can find them on ebay. Search for papaver somniferum persian white seeds. Then get the book "Opium for the Masses" by Jim Hogshire on Amazon. That's about as far as I would take it for now is seeds and books.
