tobacco: my great uncle and his mother used to raise it in somo. they just twisted it up in plugs and chewed it. yeah, grandma too.
if weed was legal to grow, i'd do it. had pretty good luck 35 years ago, but it took awhile to get good at it. for me, 1 good plant = 3 years of smoke. but, you had to take care of it...pull the males...water, fert, and hope that when you check it around the first of October you don't find it ripped from the ground and stolen.
it just made me too paranoid i'd get busted...not worth worrying about it all the time. got married, family, job...I just said **** it.
