"This from a wanna-be tobacco grower?"

Still a LEGAL crop to grow last time I looked., LOL! You hate smoking? Work on a local ban and take it from there. I don't smoke, but I'll fight you every step of the way. :)

It's very lucrative, too. When I was in HS, farm kids were given a few acres to grow what they wanted. It taught them about how to tend a crop for a season, commitment, hard work...you know, all those USELESS values one learns on a farm. ;)

Most planted tobacco and came to school the next year in a sports car or shiney new Chevy pick--em-up truck.

If tobacco is so horrible, why isn't it just flat-out banned? Oh, that's right. The Government can't live without the extorted tax revenue that tobacco offers!

LOL!
You hate smoking?
No, I don't hate smoking...Tobacco or pot.

Not for long. Cannabis Prohibition began as a tax act. The propaganda machine was turned against pot smokers exactly the same as it's now being used against tobacco smokers. You said: "Clean up your reputation as being lazy slackers".
That "reputation" is the result of propaganda. The same type of propaganda that will demonize tobacco smokers. Just look at those poor pathetic souls who have to huddle outside to have a cigarette...junkies to be stared at by passers-by.

Incidentally, hemp can be profitably farmed in all 50 states. You would have made more on your 500 acres if you grew hemp instead of soybeans.
