And, it was your influence that helped me start to garden, so they should kill you twice.

So we get no gubmint ‘carbon footprint reducing credits’ with all the enviro-friendly CO2 sucking greenies we produce? Or maybe we need to sprinkle in a few ‘medicinal marijuana’ plants to placate the leftist lord barons on the Potomac?

watermelons (3 varieties)I think that's racist. Report to the camp and do a 'self - denunciation'.

80 years late on this one!
They already regulate which flowers you can and can't grow, on your own property!

They might need to. I've turned out to be difficult to kill.

Been happening for at least a couple decades. Try using raw milk - guns a blazing...

At precisely the same time that we dispense with ANY control of people crossing into our borders, we crack down with SS alacrity on plants, animals.
It’s really weird —it’s a kind of zero-sum game, apparently.

I’m not saying the govt wouldn’t try it but in a country the size of the US it would likely be unenforceable.

Are you talking about the same government that can't get a handle on Afghanistan? A nation about the size of Texas?
Don't give them too much credit. They do a great job of 'making an example' of someone, but they don't handle widespread disobedience well. Or marijuana would be extinct in the US.

I believe tobacco seed is already very heavily regulated. Anyone from a tobacco state know?

I'm growing tobacco in the garden. It's not regulated at all.

Looks like the feds will soon have Mother Nature in irons and headed for a FEMA Reprogramming Facility.

If you plan to sell the tobacco you grow, there are regs. But you can buy seeds all you want. Pinetree sells some.

I'm growing tobacco in the garden. It is supposedly very easy to grow, but labor intensive.
It's not regulated at all.
You are only permitted to grow 1/10th of an acre per homeowner.

You know, the reason for the government doing this was obvious decades ago.
What isn’t so obvious is why people put up with such stupidity.

Can we just start killing these people pushing this sh*t?
Do you think anything less will stop them?

4,400 sq ft of tobacco is too much for me. I don't have nearly that much planted.
I don't find it labor intensive at all. I start them early inside, and plant them through landscaping fabric so I don't have to deal with weeds. I've got good healthy plants with leaves the size of a computer keyboard.

It would be too much for me as well, I was just pointing out that it is regulated, even for the home gardener.
