I think that is true.

Tobacco is a fairly labor-intensive crop to grow. The leaves are large and have to be hung up on rafters and cured. It can even be somewhat hazardous work. Also, much better suited to southern climates. Growing tobacco is basically a industrial process. I know nothing about growing marijuana, but imagine it would be more feasible to grow in a home setting than tobacco.

I have the card and you can grow 6 planets in So CA... if you are caught selling it you will lose your card and get fine or jail... but you can trade strains with other ppl with card. Police out here fly over your homes and your are not in the State data file.I had the card since 2008, I bet we go legal within a few years but I have Achalasia and getting high helps me relax and my esophageal stops spazzing out. Over drinking is what caused this.

I can have up to three plants in my house in CA with my medicinal prescription, but I haven't made a move on it yet. I'd have to grow indica (don't have room for a much larger sativa plant) and indica requires 12 hours of sun with 12 hours of dark. Just not ready for the commitment.

Besides, I have a few friends who grow. One of them brought over a mason jar filled with medicinal grade stuff. I haven't bought any for months.

Mine start smelling really good after a couple of months into it but outside takes almost 6 months so you have to get a cycle going

Once we move somewhere where I can have a shed. I just frankly don't want it in the house.

Is it the smell or some other reason?

It is a commitment. But like someone said, it's a labor of love. An Indica, IIR, does take longer to harvest. Set up an indoor grow room, get the right lights specific to veg and flower. Start with seedlings and have 2 grows at once. One flowering while the other is vegging. Once the first grow goes to flower, start a new veg cycle with new seedlings, taken from your best plant that is now in the flowering chamber. Repeat.

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.

I want to sit in a store front window and roll blunts like cigars. I wouldn't even mind the salsa music.

Wow, Katipan. You're like a friend that just shows up out of the blue every 12+ months with a jug of wine when she wants to party then vanishes again.

Good to see ya batman (girl).

You too! Don't be surprised if there are reports of a woman yelling for an otter in your neck of the woods. I have an aunt in silverton and a reason for traveling soon.

consider perpetual growing. get into a routine of cutting a plant a month. You can always control the height of a plant which will then limit how much you'll harvest. Keep a plant around a foot tall by just topping it and it'll produce no more than an ounce or 2.

Hopefully if it is legal jobs have to stop firing or not hiring you if it comes up on pre/during employment blood test drug screenings.

Tobacco used to be a highly sought after crop that was tightly regulated. Don't know if you could grow your own unless you stole some seed or plants from the few allowed to grow it. The internet would have changed that I guess.
