The day when smokers finally figure out that they can grow their own tobacco...

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.

From what I understand, no permit is required. You only need one if you plan to sell what you grow.

No, it's just like making wine or brewing beer for personal consumption.

That only applies if you're growing tobacco commercially. If it's for your own use, you're home free. If you're growing an acre of the stuff, don't try to persuade them it's for your own use.

Unless the laws(rules) have changed you can grow all the tobacco you want.You just can't sell it to cigarette and cigar companies without a "Tobacco stamp",and the "Stamp" was awarded to particular farms in the amount of acreage you could plant and sell.

The reason I know this is when I was a kid(1960's)my parents looked at farm to buy that had I believe a 10 acre "Tobacco Stamp".In of all places Central Missouri.

How asinie. A permit to grow tobacco. How about a permit to grow tomatos. Thomas Jefferson is spinning in his grave.
