And the government will happily criminalize the cultivation of that drug for your own personal consumption.

Facts? Documentation? Backup? Link?

Growing tobacco for personal use is legal in all 57 states as I understand it although he amount is restricted. Please post evidence if I'm wrong. Commercial use is highly regulated.

I’m not talking about Tobacco with that statement.

I’m saying that the Government will happily criminalize your cultivation of a plant that is also a drug if it decides that’s what it wants to do. It already has been doing so for 70+ years with marijuana.

Tobacco is a drug. A legal drug. Growing Tobacco for personal use may be legal now...but what happens when Obama’s FedGov decides that it’s losing out on revenue from the self cultivators? It’s already taken a huge step with the recent sCHIP ‘roll your own’ 2200% tax increase.

Tobacco will eventually be treated just like other plant based drugs, in the name of revenue, and eventually ‘the public good’.

Why, the DEA is already equipped to find personal indoor Tobacco grow-rooms from helicopter based infared cameras. I’m sure they’d be happy to loan some equipment to their alphabet cousins at the ATF. Raids on private residence for illegal tobacco plants will be forthcoming. And it won’t surprise me one iota.
