I totally agree with you on the divide and conquer taxation issue, no question there. But I also know I do not have to pay any tax on tobacco I grow for personal consumption. "Personal consumption" is the key phrase - and that is why it is limited to 1/10th an acre per property owner.

I would NEVER yoke my fellow man with disproportionate taxation.

That has always been my position, however far too many FReepers have cheered on for higher tobacco and alcohol taxes because they don't like smokers and drinkers that I no longer give a rat's rear end if they get taxed on something they enjoy. I will fight against those taxes - but enjoy laughing at the nanny state lovers who claim to be conservatives here on FR who are now reaping what they sowed by calling for higher taxes on those of us who enjoy things they don't.

Well I may have to plant a crop!

Its easy to cure (I like turkish blend)

What do you use to cut it with?
They don’t make those general store/farm tools anymore.

Good for you for realizing that Gov is pitting citizen against citizen on taxation, as well as everything else under the sun..
