The day when smokers finally figure out that they can grow their own tobacco...just the same way they "might" grown marijuana in the loft of their house...this entire tax game will end. I've only met two individuals over the past 20 years that figured this out and grew their own smokes. If everyone would realize this...they could save themselves thousands of dollars over a lifetime...and even cut out the rich cigarette companies as well.

I roll my own and may consider growing it soon. I have the land.

I'm sure someone can dig it up, but I believe that in order to grow tobacco, you have to have a permit for it, and the permits are intended for farms, not individuals, so they're priced accordingly.

If I recall correctly, I think I'd rather grow the marijuana; the fines were cheaper.

The funny thing is, growing your own tobacco is actually "MORE" illegal that growing marijuana! You're going to be violating more statutes and laws by growing tobacco! The federal government specifies exactly how much land registered tobacco farmers are allowed to plant.

I've got a cousin who used to work for the Dept of Agriculture (MO actually has alot of tobacco farms), and it's very tightly regulated. I brought this up once, and we had a very long discussion over it.

It's not like being able to brew your own beer for private consumption. Growing your own tobacco is an illegal activity!

My seeds are in their warm little beds just waiting to sprout!

A company called Plantation House (http://www.coffinails.com) based in the UK sells them.

Hell, tobacco was commonly grown in the streets of Jamestown and used for money in most of colonial America!
