So I don't know why this video is blowing up now after 2 years, but I suppose it's tobacco season. So I will upload some more videos as I grow them this year to share more details.
I didn't realize people were so interested in it, it's a fascinating hobby.
About 10 years I've been growing tobacco and I've tried many different methods of drying and harvesting, I will do a follow-up later in the season Once I finalize everything.
Somebody asked me about ghost plant, I guess I must have talked about it in the video it's a couple of years old so I forgot. Here's a link to a video about that stuff:

how much do you harvest each year?
@@LIFESSHORTTAKEARISK depends on if I try, when I don't plant any I usually Harvest a half- pound or so.
If I actually sow them in the garden properly and grow them with intention I can get several lb
Hi I’m from the uk and I’m learning to grow fruit and veg
As a smoker I’m wanting to learn to grow my own tobacco. What is the best plant to grown and once leaves dried out can I just smoke it or have to add other stuff?
Sister, read my comment below.
@@carpo719 You don't know what you're doing. Scroll down, read my comment, and learn.
Ive never seen someone who looks more like they grow tobacco than this guy, awesome!
Yeah I confess 😂

Growing tobacco is illegal in Australia, always blew my mind as a kid that you could go to jail for something they readily sold everywhere, cannabis made sense because of it being illegal, even though it didn't make sense for it to be illegal at least it was consistent. I always figured that is was the power of 'big tobacco' lobbying to kill competition from local growers. Anyway, laws never stopped me doing something I felt was not morally wrong, so I appreciate this knowledge!
I think i remember hearing you get in more trouble for growing tobacco too
Also ur under arrest. Cuff him boys!!!
The government doesn't get tax money from the sale of homemade cigarettes that they don't know about. That's what it is too.
@@Melissa0774 well duhhh, but homebrew alcohol is legal. Its not exactly that simple
Where can I get seeds in Aus?
Your absolutely correct about the fact that humans will absolutely give you stuff for tobacco in a disaster scenario
Don't forget the rolling papers
They do it in prison

@@seriousros7280 The Bible and possibly other holy books can be a source of comfort in trying times, especially with those thin pages...
growing up in the 70s and early 80s I have worked numerous summers in the scorching heat of the southern NC tobacco fields and tobacco barns (old hot ass wood barns). Hard work and the only way we could earn money for school clothes. We actually worked from sun-up (06:00am) to sundown (1800) with a one-hour lunch break (all the older women would stay at the farmers home and cook the lunch...garden grown food and meat raised on the land- sweet tea to wash it down. I hated the hard work but as I look back - it created a strong work ethic for me later in life. Tobacoo was much "cleaner" back then...still sprayed with chemicals for the sucker leaves which really didn't work all that great. We still had to "sucker" and "top" each field a couple times each season- worst part of working in the bacca field was suckering! I do not smoke cigarettes, but I still found the smell of curing tobacco to be quite enticing on a late summer afternoon day. Unfortunately, this way of harvesting tobacco is long gone...Oh yea forgot to mention the HUMUNGOUS tobacco leaf eating worms (horn tipped worms). They could devour a whole plant in a couple of days-I use to collect them (LOL)in a Pringles can and toss them down my sister's shirt whenever she made me angry for some dumb shit. Seconds later after her screams, i am dashing through the field dying from laughter running for my life. The fun and joy we had was off the scale compared to today's crowd.
Thanks for the story. ❤
Wonder if any natural wild tobacco plants exist in the south in some remote place?
Why did they get rid of growing? Where the hell do they grow it all now? Other countries?
Lived near Lumberton
Good to hear you earned money causing lung cancer and addiction. Fun times indeed. Prick.
@@ron1836farming is just more mechanized now. Same with cotton..
Bored of my garden, watched your video, got inspired
Now I’m waiting on
Sacred rustica, golden burley, Havana 142, black mammoth, virgins gold
Black Mammoth? I like the sound of that variety.
Ordered some golden burly
@@improvisedsurvival5967 they’re all great but I noticed that the sacred rustica germinated the most and has grown the fastest
I grew Havana tobacco this year I cured the tobacco stack together in a pylon I left them there for 14 days and remove leaves as they turned from dark green to Yellow to Brown the leaves are great quality very good for cigars and wonderful blunt wrappers give it a try I did and I'm happy with the results
" I was a cannabis breader". Totally belive it, except the "was" part😀 ( I like this man)

Well to be honest, it got so cheap it wasn't worth growing anymore LOL
@@carpo719 so cheap that everybody left garberville LOLOL IT'S A GHOST TOWN NOW
@@carpo719 the only way you could raise the price is by making a certain strain and keeping it to yourself that the world is never had before

I still haven't planted my tobacco this year but I'm getting re-inspired by my own video
Very interesting video mate, would love to see more tips and tricks
@@sethbowyer3206 I'll see what I can do I have so many different interests that it's always something different every day
I'll be giving it a go this year 🙏
when is it too late too plant tobacco? i had birthday 11. this month and wanted to do but i dont ordered seeds :D
So how do you cure it once it's dried? Does it cure it by itself just in those plastic bags over a year?
Love hearing a person talk about a passion.
I've been inspired to grow Tabacco despite having quit smoking just to have on hand for making my own pesticides and giving humming birds/moth's some flowers. Well done! I have a whole new appreciate for the plant thanks to you. Well done.
Growing tobacco for the first time this summer. I had no idea how huge these plants get! Some of my Kentucky burly leaves are bigger than my torso. One of my oriental plants has about 80-100 seed pods on the top, you are spot on about them sustaining me for life.
Shamanic tobacco having both an maoi (monoamineoxidase inhibitor) plus dmt alkaloids is so freaking cool! MAOI’s inhibit the enzyme that breaks down the DMT before it enters your brain, thus rendering the drug active (if over 20-30 mg of DMT is present). In theory you could create a dmt experience from just the compounds in that one plant alone.
Usually you need the root of 2 special trees and leaves containing those alkaloids separately foraged!
Would love a more in depth video on the Shamanic Tobacco and its uses, cheers bro!
Homemade tobacco ain’t the same as cigarettes. Not even close. 🔥🙏 There’s a reason it’s a sacred plant.
yep
Facts, people smoked real “pipe” tobacco that wasn’t loaded with chemicals and additives there whole life with no cancer or Lu g disease, cancer is a reaction to your body being poisoned for a long time, real tobacco that’s properly grown and cured isn’t what people buy at the gas station, it’s an ingredient in cigarettes but definitely not the only ingredient. If you smoke real homegrown tobacco without the chemicals that are added now, I guarantee there will be no cancer risk, you might have lung issues when you are in your 80s but nothing like you see with cigarettes
I think commercially made cigarettes have a bunch of extra chemicals and crap added to them, right?
@@Melissa0774 For flavour and preservation yes
Why are they sacred?
For whatever reason UA-cam just decided to recommend this to me and I’m glad they did, I may put some of this knowledge to good use once a day comes where I have the land to do it. You dropped some pretty informative information here 🤨 and I thank you for it! Happy growing to you and all, I gotta get into it… God bless!
Everyone says this plant is an insecticide yet the insects in my garden love it.
When it's concentrated it kills them but some still like the plant
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I too am a nonsmoker who is interested to grow tobacco just for fun. I find the plant interesting and I want to upset my health obsessed friends family and neighbors.
If I turn in a decent crop I'm going to offer it to a homeless guy I know who is always scouting my workplace for butts.
Because of this fine gentlemen I’m already drying my first harvest.
It’s an awesome experience.
He’s not wrong when he says it’s strong and unique.
Very cool. I am about to start this journey for a few reasons that you mentioned, so this information is invaluable, I am also a lover of growing all things. I would like to try to experiment by growing a few near potatoes in hopes that it will deter potato beetles. Some interesting info about tobacco which has been "hidden" is that it can have benefits for neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's, which runs in my family. Now that tobacco is regarded as such a nasty thing, that research seems to have stopped.
Good luck growing it, it's an interesting plant. And yes it has a lot of benefits as well
Thanks for sharing information about Rustica. It's a special kind of tobacco. The effects are much different than N. Tabacum. Rustica gives me similar effects to opium poppy, I've tried both day after day. Both plants relax me deeply and help me think about stuff without negative emotions. Everything in moderation- I've been growing psychoactive plants for a few years now. This year I planted 20 Rustica plants and It's more than enough because I'm a seasonal pipe smoker- I hate smoking indoors and It's not fun to smoke outside in the winter. Rustica is good for pipe and nasal snuff in my opinion. Growing tobacco is actually illegal in my country- you have to register your plantation and grow varieties approved by government or else you might get a fine and they destroy your crop. I don't think that most of the people even know and police doesn't even care unless It's a huge plantation. Fun fact, out of all psychoactive plants and mushrooms that I used, I had full blown mania with thought disorders from extremely hot chilis and chili extracts and coffee in high amounts. Chilis, tobacco and opium poppy share similar effects- I believe they activate opioid receptors, whether directly like poppy or indirectly like chilis. I don't know about tobacco but I heard It increases endorphins somehow. The more you know. I've learned about fermenting tobacco after I left my moist weed behind a book shelf in a jar for a year- the color was brown and fruity flavour turned into "spoiled left for a day in the sun fruit" kind of aroma but the effects were okay. By the way, I used to grow weed too, I still do 😂 I had a unique Sativa x Ruderalis strain (Dr. Grinspoon x Ruderalis F1), extremely tough strain with THC and CBD. I believe only Lebanese strain by Ace Seeds is the only sativa ruderalis strain available to buy. I also had a collection of poisonous plants, I still have Henbane, Belladonna, Datura and Monkshood but as ornamental plants, I don't play with them. I'm also really passionate about plants- the process of growing and breeding is more satisfying than just smoking, that's why weed smokers "like" me. That's why stay away from them because they just want some cheap weed to smoke and don't even care about plants, don't want me to learn anything. They want me to tell them how to grow weed step by step lol Gardening is such a satisfying hobby for me. I have a lot of physical activity, lost a lot of weight, It's relaxing, I don't spend so much time staring at the screen and I have something to smoke, organic fruit, aromatic herbs and ornamental plants like tomatoes, watermelons, a few varieties of chili, basil, a few varieties of mint, lemon balm, ornamental tobacco, morning glories. Greetings from Poland!
Can you recommend tobacco seeds similar to American Spirit tobacco? I'm new to this but I used to smoke American Spirit and it was the best for me. Thanks
I learn how to grow my own weed
Now with your help I will learn to grow my own tobacco
In advance
Thank You.

I have a lot of videos on growing that too but I had to make them private because of UA-cam regulations they started deleting on my videos about substances
@@sicuro5050hey I can make a bong out of anything and I know how to start a fire with sticks❤😂
Man, i say this with a TON of love from little ol winnipeg... But of COURSE youre from Portland dude 😝😎 started gardening last year. Youve totally convinced me to try and grow my own...
5:25 this is how I feel about cannabis. In a end of the world situation, weed is worth its weight in ANYTHING. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis. If you have any or all of these, you can get ANYTHING your heart desires. Anything.

I use to see a lot of information about the tobacco herb on the internet prior to 2013. Information said it was used since the 1500's for 65 different aliments from diabetes to cancer. It is in the nightshade family with potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, just to name a few.💛🌿💛💚🌞
Ain’t nothing like morning energy with a cig and coffee. Trying to quit but I love it. Thanks for the video. Might have to try growing it myself.
I had a wonderful crop a few years ago, but when I found out how hard it was to dry/cure I just composted it. Maybe I'll try again after watching this. They are beautiful plants.
Under my porch I just hang whole plants and I found they dry better better as a whole plant sometimes
@@carpo719 Thanks!
First time grower here! The seeds are sprouting and I am hopeful 👍
I've been growing the Aztec tobacco for the last 5 years and I love seeing it grow. It's a beautiful and wonderful medicine. I got stung by a bee today and put a tobacco leaf on the sting and it was instantly better. ❤
The amount of info you packed into about 10 minutes is awesome. No clue why it took me to find this video until i thought i should definitely try to grow some tobacco. I grow a lot of plants anyway and im sure smoking home grown tobacco is much better in a lot of ways than cigarette or packaged regulated tobacco
First time growing this year, I’m not a smoker but we have a growing flower farm and I’m fascinated by it already. I will probably give it away as gifts
You are clearly a master tobacco farmer! 🙌🌟 Thank you so much for your wisdom!
I don't use tobacco anymore but this was an excellent video. Highly informational. I love plants as well, I appreciate you spreading this knowledge man.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi from Galston in Scotland. Thanks for your video. I have just ordered golden virginia seeds and am looking forward to playing with the plants. I have gas central heating. Sit my produce on some kitchen roll and hey presto. They are my insta-dry method for my tomatoees and all other sun dried things. Cheers
Blessed by the algorithm. This was very enjoyable. thank you for sharing your knowledge
Man I love the content 😌! I'm a indoor grower my self!! But on cannabis!! So now I will try something new!! TOBACCO!! Grow it my self at home 🏡! 🏡 grow strong 💪🙌
Perfect so that you can roll the cannabis in the tobacco 😂

So I am obsessed with Awakening, obsessed with nature, and even more so obsessed with growing. Pretty much everything! I just love to watch things grow and take care of them. I just feel a very strong interconnectedness when doing so. This just came up in my feed, and I'm so glad it did because I had no idea that there was a shamanic type of tobacco other than rapè. I'm so excited I found your channel!
❤✌️
What is shamanism tobacco? What is its purpose if it is so strong? Tyia
Thanks for your video, I honestly can’t believe that I am only now coming across your channel! Especially since I am a vaper since 2018, and even more so, since for the last 2 years I have almost esclusively been vaping naturally extracted tobacco’s, in part because I am Italian, and moved back to Italy a year ago, and the Italian vaping culture is heavily centered around NETs, to the point of influencing hardware design and almost any Italian vape reviewer uses naturally extracted tobacco liquids as measures of judgment for rebuildable atomizers! So in the back of my mind as a vaper inclined towards diy learning about the crop is fascinating and various companies that produce e liquids from the actual plant have their methods of extraction, the best is overall “la tabaccheria,” I am curious and wouldn’t be surprised if I were preaching to the choir mentioning this! Thank you I’m subscribing ❤🙏❤🙏
Your actually who inspired me to get started growing it.
May this year bless you with many comicly oversized cigars.
Excellent I hope you do well my friend
My Grandpa was a Kentucky Tobacco farmer that was in Bourbon county which oddly is a dry county or was. I loved smelling it curing in the barn.
Watched this video, and just got done fermentation, and I've been smoking it, and it's awesome. Thanks for the tips. 🏹
Glad it helped
@@carpo719 Tons! I have big plans for next grow season. I'm pretty close to ya on the Washington side of the river.
it's impressive to have all that HQ tobacco around you and not smoke it. good idea to have it as something to exchange for other resources during the collapse. all the best!
Smoking a blunt got me here.... I have so many questions n this seems to answer some but....., nevermind lol this is great thanks! Tobacco is like gold... absolutely...wait so it's like wine?
This is super neat!!🔥 I used to love cannabis until I got CHS and now I despise the plant. Really awesome overview of drying 🙏

You Have Given Me Hope.
I have move from cigs and dip to cigars. Now I'm very interested in growing my own.
I want the ligero!!!!!!🙌
thanks for the vid, i watched another vid where the fermenting was so much work i was discouraged
Grateful this video showed up. You speak with great passion, knowladge and enthusiasm and I love it!! You would make a good teacher. I quit smoking over a year ago but would like to grow tobacco as going foward it will be a valuable barter tool. More videos please for newbies like myself who want to learn and grow but don't know where to start.
You seem like a friendly down to earth guy. Thanks for the info in this video. I tried growing tobacco once and the growing was quite easy but i messed up the drying and curing somewhat. It ended up as yellow dry as hey stuff. I dried it inside in a cool dark room via hanging. It was some kind of virginia strain i think. Next time i'll try some of your tips.
this was a fantastic video im for sure going to be referencing in the future. always wanted to grow my own baccy and this summer is time baby! thanks broski
Been smoking for 25yrs. Wanted to start growing my own.
this is super old and the way the world is now, i'm not even sure this person is still alive (yet i havnt checked) but i'll leave a story, my grandma lived in Kentucky and i dunno why but she grew a lot of tobacco, she didnt smoke though, so i never knew why she grew it, i guess she just liked how it looked, anyways every year when we went to visit, it was during the same time all these awesome bright green caterpillars would show up on tobacco plants, i used to collect hundreds of them in a big basket just because i thought they looked cool lol it wasnt till later when i was an adult i realized i was out there working for free -.-
This video is old relative to UA-cam but never old relative to tobacco✌
😄 yep still alive
Those tobacco budworms like to eat my cannabis plants as well
Excellent perspective. Thanks for sharing your experience of this magnificent plant.
I grew nicotania rustica 2 years ago, this year i want to grow some turkish varieties including samsun. I also want to grow a cuban wrapper variety blunts.

Cool! I harvested the baseleaves today from my Virginia tobacco plant :)
Nice! I only have one of those this year
@@carpo719 I dont smoke tobacco myself anymore. I grow it for olfactory reasons (sniffing the leafs) and to gift it to people who appreciate it. My virginia tobacco was really loved by people who usually just smoke standard cigarettes, which taste like paper in my opinion. One question: How long do you think could the dried tobacco leafes be stored? I may want to grow a little bit more next year to have a stash
@@Spacedawg879 Indefinitely. It ages like a whiksy/fine wine, when kept in the appropriate environment.
Boveda packs are your friend.
Starting second season.
In august I have first anniversary of being self sufficient smoker.
I need to learn how to cure leaves that are harvested green.
Now they tend to dry green.
Color curing is the name of the proces.
I had 50 seedlings growing in a tent that started rooting to eachother. I dumped them outside because Ive been lazy this year planting and so far on 1 took and grew new leaves so far. Im happy to just get seeds for next year.
I just let them do their own thing
My dad died at 51 from it. My mom grew tobacco for the flowers because they were pretty and smelled nice.
That's a different type of plant ( nicotiana )
If you shine the blacklight on commercial store bought cigs you can see the poison it doesn't show under a black light on home grown so I'd suggest home grown over vaping even if your trying to stop.

Cigarettes from stores are toxic .
Kindred spirit...I always tell new pot growers that curing is half of the process. I have MYO harvest one time so far, it went well, super easy to grow! I did the stacking method and cured it compressed in a wooden cigar box. I had no shredder so I did a scissor cut and mixed with store bought Bali Shag for decent RYO cigs.
It takes longer to cure “properly” then it does to grow.
What is shag?

I read years ago if you grow more than 500 plants without a license you can get more time in jail than Marijuana
That's because the Gvmt is nothing but an organised crime mafia. You're getting in the way of their monopoly of tobacco taxation.
When I was 13 I got to attend a couple of sweat lodges with a friend at the time and some of the best tobacco I ever had was at that ceremony even to this day it was sweet crisp light with a refreshing flavor on the back not harsh at all with moderate nicotine this was ceremonial tobacco that was grown locally and I was already smoking at this point anyways 😂😂😂 but it was way different then a cigarette or a cigar it was it's own thing all together
Whenever someone says they're learning things each year, you know we got a master teaching us. My gran said the same thing about her Orchids.
I am going to be starting my first grow, stoked with all the tips you have shortened my learning curve with.
Thanks a bunch!
Never come across your channel before but you seem like a cool and kind person. This was a wonderfully interesting video. Im more immersed in the cannabis world personally (i knew you were one of us btw 😂), but i love tobacco too. lovers of all great plants oughtta unite!
I have a ton of older cannabis content but it's been a while
Great video. Thanks for making and sharing it.
I grew some N. sylvestris and the flowers smelled WONDERFUL.
Mannnn, this is what youtube is supposed to be
like your work, i shall give it a try being a smoker and 420 kinda guy . thanks
I Subbed and loved. I am in Australia. It is ILLEGAL to grow tobacco. Even for personal use as far as I know. But we are taxed at such a high rate. For a 25g of Tobacco brought from a supermarket (cheapest place to buy, service stations, etc can charge $10 dollars more (My preferred CHEAP brand), it is around $54 dollars AUD. And it gets more expensive. (Along with Alcohol, but that is a different issues). I am at the point, where I just want to try to grow and smoke tobacco for MY OWN personal needs. I am addicted. I have used Nicotine Patches, Lozengers, Inhalers, the Cheweys, Tablets hypnotists etc... To no avail. Patches alone, They cost a fortune also. $30-40 dollars for 7 day Nicotine Patch.. It almost feels like I am a criminal buying tobacco here in Australia even though it's legal, I am 40 years old.
Go find native australian tobacco seeds and plant them. Plant like nicotiana benthamiana is native to australia and been used by aborigins for smoking. I dont think it would be illegal to plant native tobacco. You can also plant flowering tobacco such as nicotiana sylvestris and nicotiana alata, which can give you smaller yield, but still smokeable. These type of nicotiana all have been used for smoking in the past but fell out of stronger and higher yield tabaccum
@@mizztazzthanks do you have any info where to get these seeds?
I would love some seeds! Thanks for sharing I had no idea there were such different varieties of tobacco.
Interesting information. I don't smoke anymore, but do love growing plants. And having some tobacco on hand in a SHTF scenario may provide a valuable trade asset.
You're doing good work my dude. Beat the stigma with education and appreciation!
Could I buy some of your seeds from you?
Also, what resources, aside from UA-cam, would you recommend for a beginner such as myself.
I don't know you will just have to try your hand at it the only way to learn is to give it a shot.
Thanks for the insights, I also love growing tobacco on my balcony and rarely smoke it.
Last year hanging them indoors resulted in moldy leaves only, so this year I'll try differently.
The only good leaves I could harvest were the leftovers on the plant after the winter, those were great!
Great video I have never learned how to grow or dry/treat it to smoke but I’m definitely keen to try it
Bong hits of tobacco got me off cigs and feel a lot better on my lungs than using vapes. I always thought that it was crazy to rip tobacco from a bong but it’s actually great.
Yes. Cigs have 630 additives. That's bad and prob causing illness therefore. It's not natural.
Vaping is prob worse than either. Fat in your lungs. Not a good idea.
Try growing virginia orange. Tip.
You're video was fantastic really opened my eyes and helped me remember how i once tried tobacco plants my dad also sold nagoiana the bedding plant version for the flowering head
Thank you for such an honest amd informative video! Best of luck with your mission dude!
I stopped smoking 30 years ago and this year i grow my first tobacco and i am very curious to roll and smoke my first zigarre
in Spain it is illegal. in some countries person can play with law if it's nicotiana rustica, coz mostly forbidden is nicotiana tabacum.
i heard here even to shred leaf is illegal. growing pot here is much more safe then tobacco.
Yeah here in the US it's not considered a actual tobacco product until it's shredded at the very least and even then you can do it as long as your legal smoking age. What the craziest part is anyone can buy any tobacco seeds online in the US and grow it and as long as you just keep it in the whole leaf form and don't shred it it's just considered a product of agriculture and not a actual tobacco product. Which means even kids could grow it as long as they don't shred the leaves when it's done curing and they can legally get away with it. That's why you can buy whole leaf tobacco online in the US fully cured already and it isn't taxed by the government because it's just considered a product of agriculture in the whole leaf form. So it's basically just like buying fruits and vegetables online when it's a whole leaf tobacco product.
I don't smoke either but it's a really interesting plant and I want to learn more about it by growing. Thanks for posting!!
I love this video and I’m not half way through. I am no ‘prepper’ nor do I have the desire to spend the kind of energy and money some do to be ready for a massive catastrophe but, as a husband and father I do have an innate desire to at least have an some idea of how to sustain my family should anything like that happen. I love learning how to grow my own produce and feed my wife and kids something I never spray with chemicals, and along with that valuable skill set in a disaster scenario maybe having some idea of how to grow something worth bartering is a no brainer. I’m already thinning of places I could experiment with growing my own tobacco lol
Tobacco and nicotine is not addictive or cancer causing. It's the sugars and addictive chemicals they spray on most commercial tobaccos
This video made me wanna smoke so bad. I tried growing tobacco but failed at the cure process because it dried too much. I love tobacco as a plant but hate the smoking. Thanks for the inspiration and tips.
Popped up. Suprisingly I never tried growing it .. I had quit for a year but then came across an unopened old 1/4 pd tin of capstan..cured over many decades to perfection still good..amazing.
.. wagon wheel broke huh 😅
Interesting I've had some in storage for years and I wondered if it was still good
I just want to grow tobacco to give to the spirits
Are they Mexican spirits or something?
I grew some 2 years ago and it tasted like smoking 'old rope'
I'm going to try again this year, and if it comes out the same then I'll be smoking some more, 'old rope'
Maybe I will try and market it under the name, 'old rope'?
cheers from the uk, gonna be planting some cuban havana and yellow pryor tobbacco tomorrow for the first time ever. this vid was really helpful thank you
1:28 for the shaman out here
i got some mapacho seeds as well and after 7 years still use the seeds of that time
We don't smoke. We don't chew. We grow tobacco. We promote Liberty.
I got into plants and chemistry because of dr*gs, but now I've come full circule and I grow things because they look or smell nice and serve as metaphors for growth, and having a good environment etc. Just feels good to observe these things. Life is crazy.
Interesting I have had the same experiences, enjoying cannabis over a lifetime and then growing it brought me into growing other plants and gardening. And chemistry as well when it comes to extractions
@@carpo719 I always felt like I needed to be able to use whatever I grew for it to seem worth it. Like weed, or another psychoactive plant or vegetables, but then I realized I just loved the whole process, whether I got anything useful out of it or not. It just activated this primal desire in me to be "locked in" with plants. And you get to learn the patterns of shadows through a day in the different seasons, you learn to realize why plants exist in certain places, by inferring the environmental conditions etc. I just feel like I'm a real human being when I'm connected with the cycles of nature like that.
I still grow stuff that CAN be useful but I produce way more rosemary, peppermint, and oregano than any of my neighbors or I can consume 😂 I still dry and stash it tho, so in the apocalypse, people can still cook gourmet :D
Thank you! I would like to grow Tobacco rustica now!
