I don’t know why this got recommended to me 8 years after it was released but I’m so happy I got to see this. So badass.
She literally opted to not take part in their system anymore. She couldn't be more badass if she was in Boston harbor dumping tea off ships.
''More badass''. well' maybe if she taught the bird to say Rauwwt! swriee uerrr Phillip Morris can kiss my feathery
WRauuutt! azz!
Pity she didn't cure the tobacco like you're meant to. It will smell weird because she skipped that step.
i was thinking that too@@OffGridInvestor
She retired from the NYPD, that means she's a socialist sponge who has been suckling from the taxpayers from her first day at the academy and will do so until the day of her overly pompus pig funeral parade.
@@OffGridInvestor fermented tobacco is a choice some people make.
Australia needs to do this. It's like 20 bucks a pack there. Tobacco control isn't about health, it's about taxation. They tax the hell out of anything addictive
Man you need to come to Austria. Here you can have 50 plants, no tax. Brew as much beer as you want, no tax ^^
@@MrPeachapple it's illegal for aussies to grow tobacco. You have to have a heavily restricted permit. Here in the states you can grow it for personal consumption if you want. They even sell seeds at the co-op
@@MrPeachapple my best bud is Austrian I'd love to visit. I joke around with him and say Austrians are German hillbillies lol
@@tiocfaidharla251 yeah we kinda are I guess 😂
$40+ Dollars AUD nowadays. Australian Governments are fked.
I grow tobacco and I live in cold rural Washington state. It's the easiest plant I've ever grown from seed. I'm surprised it's so rare for smokers to grow it.
Ever chew the fresh leaves? I've never tried it but am curious why I've never heard of anyone doing so.
Are u serious dude?
@@sinarrecordsmedia2262 Yeah thats a bad idea. I had the same question until I learned more about the actual plant. Green tobacco is not safe for consumption. Only after it's dried and fermented does it become consumable.
@@SamanthaIreneYTube It’s not safe for consumption then either.
@@aperson22222 true, but you won’t get Green Tobacco Sickness from consuming dried, fermented tobacco leaves.
I used to be a smoker but quit so I can watch my kids grow up and play with them. I personally dislike tobacco and the harm it can do, but more importantly, as an American, I support people's right to choose for themselves. Any law that takes freedom away from people is tyranny and I can't abide. I don't recommend smoking, but grow that shit, woman! Lol
The problem is nicotine. It makes one addicted.
I do want to point out there is a grand difference in home grown tobacco vs store bought. The chemicals added and from the process used to cure by major tobacco chains is what kills us.
organic tobacco is not bad on the contrary it has several health benefits what is bad and tobacco adulterated by humans....
The original surgeon General's report did not include cigars as correlated to cancer because nearly all cigars back then were 100% tobacco leaf without any added chemicals. Cigarettes bought from the major manufacturers are full of added chemicals.
@naraendrareddy273 nicotine is actually perfectly fine for you and studies show it's beneficial, it's all the other crap that's in cigarettes. Natural tabbaco like this is ok every now and then.
This woman is a true American hero!
You might live in New York, but you have a southern attitude. And I can't tell you how much I love knowing they can speak their mind. an amen and a hell yeah to you.
Thats right if I want to kill myself & make others Pay to kill them selves power to ya
@@gingerelvira6587 Ever considered acting like an adult?
You never heard of a new yorker speaking their mind? 😂🤣
Tabacco is a tristate thing. CT grows the best wrapping and shade tobacco in the world
Yankee politics and yankee attitudes are often two totally different things. There are a lot of reasons why things are so screwed up in the north east, not just the public.
good on you!
that is the American Spirit of independance right there. Grow Your Own!
American Spirit!!!
rickcoona mmmh independance cigars and American spirit
American Spirit of independence is cooperation. Rent it, not own it!
I quit cigarettes 11 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Apart from the occasional cigar, tobacco is really not a part of my life anymore. That being said, I'm all for people doing what they enjoy, especially when they make it a craft and stick it to the system while doing it. Kudos to Audrey!
This is bad ass!
People stepping up and fighting back.
I grow my tobacco in tent with leds
Whoa!
mä aatelin et tääl ei oo ollenkaa suomalaisia
WEED
vaasa valttu Mene töihin ;)
Lel that's pretty cool. If I was putting that much effort into my garden I'd be growing more intoxicating smoking herbs nudge nidge
Of course her tobacco doesn't have strange additives like ammonia or asbestos.
Even cigarettes dont have asbestos. Its just a myth, like fiberglass in dip and chewing tobacco.
you dumb fuck. ammonia as a gas that is given of in the fermentation prosess not added. asbestos hahahahaha just ignorant.
surplusdriller1 They do add ammonia to cigarette to aid in nicotine absorption.
you do know ammonia is a gas with a boiling point of -33C so no its not ammonia in cigarettes
@@surplusdriller1 ammonia is in piss. you can also buy big bottles of that stuff.
Good to see Joey Belladonna has found a knack for gardening
G Walker bruh that about killed me omg 😂😂😂
Whats sad is most people wont understand such a gold joke
She’s Caught In A Mosh!
Kiss711 ITS A GREENHOUSE!
Carl Johnson KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. THE GARDENING CONVENTION
props to you! for standing up for self and doing what you think is best, and right for you.
ive really been looking into growing my own, and now that ive seen how easy it is, i will.
any luck?
How did it go?
Good for you. As a Libertarian, I stand with you.
Legend. Stand up for your rights ✊🏼
African Grey is one of my favorite bird! Very sweet and honest video, thank you
I'm from Yorkshire England .I've got some golden Virginia planted in trays. It grows well over here.
I'VE GROWN GOLDEN VIRGINIA TOO FOR THE 1ST TIME THIS YEAR. I'VE JUST GROUND SOME UP TO TASTE IT BUT ITS VERY WEAK.I THINK I NEED TO BLEND IT WITH OTHER VARIETIES. GOOD LOOK. MINE ARE MASSIVE. I HAVE THEM IN 5L POTS AND THEY'RE ABOUT 6FT.
thanks for sharing
I'm a non-smoker. God bless you for standing up for human rights. My sister stopped smoking but in the early stages of this bullshit, when she went into a restaurant and was asked if she wanted to sit in the smoking or non-smoking section, she would always say I want to sit in the smoking section so that I can blow smoke in their faces while eat and smoke.
id puke if your dusty old sister blew her hot air in my face. disgusting regardless of the cigarette smoke
Plus, wouldn't this be a lot better for you cause it's not full of pesticides and chemicals tobacco companies put in theirs
And seed strains that are in in factually "medicinal" in buzz
More power to you. I've had enough of this too. If you can grow it in Brooklyn, then I should be able to grow it in Southern California.
Friking awsome thanks for the info!!🙏
Thats great. Organic Tobacco. She doesn't have to worry about it being sprayed with countless amounts of chemicals and she knows exactly what it is and how it was grown.
Love this girl!
I bet her tabacco is great to smoke no harsh chemicals and a real natural taste escape flavor.
That will still fking kill you.
Very cool and lots of respect to them for growing their own.
I'm growing tobacco for the first time this year. They're thriving here in CO. This was very informative. Can't wait to harvest and enjoy.
How’s your grow going and any tips you learned?
@user-kx2kb9dq3j did you try it out?
Bout to start growing some this coming spring! Cant wait
love the bird.. gonna grow my own next year. too late this year to start a crop in Canada
I have been waiting and spending too much money, for too long, not to do this myself. I love to grow plants anyway.
Did you start yet? If so, how's it going? Did you buy organic seed?
Hey it’s been a year hows it been going?
It's been 4 years, hows it been going?
this is outstanding!
Anything against big busness im all for. Great job!
Bless you Audrey .subscribed of course.
in the southern US many grew up cropping fields of tobacco as their first job, usually before a driver's license - tobacco farms were everywhere in ENC -not very many tobacco fields to really count nowadays
Awesome sauce!
I don’t like tobacco. I hate it. But I like how this lady is standing up for herself. Salute!
Good for you! Tobacco taxes are outrageous in N.Y. add NYC tax on top of that. I believe it's $15-16 dollars for a pack of cigarettes in NYC now in July 2021. I admire what you are doing, good luck to you
Can’t say anything until you’re paying between $40-60 a pack
New York eh? I live in WA and want to try this. I'm thinking starting inside in Feb. Any tips and advise would be greatly appreciated.
Great video. Just wondering, you grow it, harvest leaves, string them up, wait till theyre all brown, then de-vein then shred? Do you now have to cure it? Thankyou
one question, how much is the yield from 100 plants? I'm hoping to get a few pounds from about 50.. (small garden) sorry.. second question.. I think I could use a paper shredder for processing?
I love this video
This is great keep up the good work
Warriors!! Come out and Play!!!
Good ON you! I live in Australia, and we smokers are DEMONISED for our choice of wanting to smoke Tobacco. It costs me $53+ AUD for a 25gram pouch of tobacco. I roll my own cigarettes. It would costs over $55+ AUD to buy a pack of 50 Tailors (already pre made cigarettes) Well actually probably more. Every year, our Cigarette prices go up 1-2 or more dollars AUD. The government taxes over 50 percent and take the money. If they really wanted people to quit, they would offer subsidised quit plans, etc. A 7 day pack of nicotine patches are $40 dollars AUD, these release not even 1 mg of nicotine per hour and take 8 hours minimum to start working. These work for some, but not for everyone. Then they have all the other nicotine replacement options, all are overpriced. You are looking at a minimum of $50AUD for a "starter pack" of 20 nicotine capsules and the white breather (not vape), it's a plastic breathing item you open and put a nicotine capsule/cartridge in. I brought some seeds 2 years ago. I havn't planted or tried to yet,. but I am going to soon once winter is almost over. Alcohol is the biggest drug out there. Causes the most problems, but it's "LEGAL" you can brew it in MOST places legally in this world, but yet Tobacco is the sinners choice they make it out.
That is a complete disgrace! The government want to be ashamed of themselves daylight robbery that is!
Is it really your choice though? Maybe the first one was a choice, the second one, the second pack, but I know for me personally it's a ride I cannot get off of. I hate nicotine but I cannot stop
I'm actually going to add a small amount of tobacco plants in my garden this year I want to get the hands-on experience of what it's like to be a cigar roller wish me luck
dont bother. for making a cigar you have to ferment and age (could take years) the leaf before rolling them. its a difficult process, you better off making cigs
Where did you get that audio track?? Badass!!
She's a really cool lady.
My spring project will be growing my own organic mullein and organic tobacco.
this droning background string music is awesome and fitting for the craft
Government: !!!!!
You: I don't remember asking you a GOT DAM THANG
hi and sorry for my english, i wanted to ask you for advice, i am growing tobacco in pot, to make cigarettes for personal use, plants grow well, i wanted to know how to dry the leaves at home properly, then chop them and make cigarettes, could you tell me the whole procedure to have a tobacco ready to smoke? I don't have a barn or stables so I should do everything indoors
Nice segment 🎉
I don't smoke tobacco anymore but that was very interesting, and she is a Rock Star in my book. You go girl!
Very cool i always wanted to grow my own wraps
Wow amazing the tobacco plant is actually a special plant
I respect her
Very good
I just picked a few leaves this morning. Brooklyn, we up!! I'm gonna try rolling my own cigars
Man. I stopped cigs for a while but seeing her take a drag of a jack/square makes me want one. The whole taste and rough sensation of a smoke 💨
all people who hat on tobacco smokers they have a right to do it some of them aren't even addicted they just enjoy the ritual such as myself hell I've gone weeks without smoking it doesn't bother me one bit
Damion Short, I smoke a pipe as a treat almost every once in awhile. It's a shame people have been taught to rule more then themselfs
Tobacco when used right is simply medicine for the spirit
Anyone know what instrument that is in the background
Cool thanks
This is awesome!! I live in socal and we have similar political climates. I too was a smoker, and was tired of this taxation, and regulations for something that is legal. Its tactics that stem from the same people that is we cant stop you but lets make it really hard so you’ll quit. Then we can say we helped you. Pissing down my neck and telling me its a warm shower i say. Im glad you empowered yourself and stuck it to the real “man” , the political side that plays these games and are only getting worst.
I'm all about doing this, basically free tobacco, just buy filter tubes and a roller..no chemicals either. This is what it may come to in the future for us smokers anyway.
She's a real patriot 💪
I'm standing up for myself by quitting. I just started chantix yesterday. Wish me luck.🤞🏻
what type of leaf is that? some leaves are painful to inhale..
That basement must smell amazing
Great video. If people choose to smoke, that's their right. As far as the "why don't you quit" comments-these people should take a look in the mirror and they'll probably see someone who could do a lot to improve their own life.
Those Nazis don't know about Einstein smoked a pipe.
Cigarettes have tarnished all.
why don't you quit
Where do I buy this?
I like your tobacco press ...
Make more videos
Thank you
The bird is cool too
Best video ever respect I love smoking
Good ol american know how plus a great stuff u I will do it myself attitude.Love it..from Australia.
Guys we are being denied to buy tobacco in South Africa during the covid lockdown. It is illigal to sell tobacco. We can't buy tobacco legally. I have Virgina gold and Black Sea Turkey but I don't have clue about how to gorw it. I made some seadlings. They are just speouting. But I dont know how much to tobacco can yeild (100 plants can yield.) I need enough tobacco to last me a whole season. I am just learning as I go along. What climates does tobacco grow in, should I do it indoors winter or will it be fine outdoors? I need to figure out how to ferment tobacco as well. Any advise will be appreciated. Wish it was ganja. It just grows so much easier.
Funny, that I found tobacco sorts to grow are so good, it's impossible to buy comparable for any money. Still, I prefer to grow tomatoes and melons (those are also better, than those in shops).
I love the fact she is a retired police officer...
Seems like a great crop to prep with.
what is this kind of music called?
Fun stuff
what type of tabaco was that ? virginia ?
I absolutely support her, and this association. Heavy smoker from Ukraine
I grow my own . Best cigarettes I have smoked were my own homegrown . There’s no “reconstituted” tobacco in my homegrown . Commercial cigarettes are around 50 percent recon tobacco. Basically everything you shouldn’t smoke on a tobacco plant (stems veins and poor quality leaf that is half eaten by bugs) or scraps that fall on the floor is liquified and a bunch of chemicals to help “smooth” the flavor and increase nicotine absorption. They spray the liquid garbage tobacco onto a roller and cut it up and pretend it’s tobacco. That’s most likely where 90 percent of the carcinogens come from. I’ll stick to my own homegrown. Just DO NOT SELL IT ! Cause that will get you a charge from the atf .
Hi were can i buy the masjien to roll the siggies
Badass
How do I grow vape cartridges?
Also it is free from added chemicals. I have been smoking for almost 4 years now, i´m in my second grow and i feel a lot better, my lungs have recovered quiet a bit. It might kill me some day, i ain´t paying a tax on that.
U want green and mature.
They will go yellow past prime
I want green right b4 yellow. Peak prime
If.done right u will get ur yellow quickly
Used to know a guy who'd bring in an empty big name pack with his home grown-and-rolled cigarettes to the gas station every so often. It was magic to us working there, that stuff tastes and smells infinitely better than the stuff you buy. Could almost chew on the rich taste...
Anything that sticks it to the nanny state, I'm all for.
At the end of the day; to smoke or not to smoke is a choice. I'm not here to lecture anyone about the health issues because you probably know, and bearing that in mind, you made a choice.
I do however think this woman is a total badass for saying "screw your system" and growing her own tobacco. I'm not sure how much effort it is, but im not sure why you don't see more people doing it.
A 50G POUCH OF GOLDEN VIRGINIA HAND ROLLING TOBACCO HERE IN THE UK IS £34.00 THIS YEAR I STARTED TO GROW MY OWN. ANY ADVICE AS TO WHAT VARIETY I SHOULD GROW NEXT FOR A MEDIUM STRENGTH SMOKE LIKE GOLDEN VIRGINIA WOULD BE GREAT. I'VE JUST GROUND UP A LITTLE THAT WAS READY BUT ITS VERY WEAK. I'M GROWING GOLDEN VIRGINIA BUT I UNDERSTAND I SHOULD BLEND IT WITH OTHERS TO GET A STRONGER TASTE. IS THAT RIGHT?
Hi variety doesnt affect the taste much its the way its treated/fermented after u grow the plants that affect 95% of the flavor. Sun curing is no option in our climates but we can ferment the leaves into a very dark colored leave by piling them in towels and shifting the leaves once or twice a day for two weeks untill they smell sweet and are almost black in color to mix in with ur other leave for a more complex taste
What type of tobacco does it she grow? There are different types.
Where do I get seeds
For play to you ,I'm in irelandvand bought some seeds but don't know where to start😊
Hi Audrey. Nice vid. Nice looking tobacco
That is really cool that lady took the Marijuana method.
GROW YOUR OWN.
What type of tobacco are you growing? What is a good time for planting? I'm all the way across the country in Southern California.
mark yegge I’ll be growing soon . I live in SoCal .. so I think January or feb .. I’m going to start around that time . I got my seeds . Ready to start ..
Jose Frank yup I'm in social too and I plan my seeds on Valentine's Day. I already harvested in September-ish.
Wow, I'm in Southern California too! Near Los Angeles. I haven't gotten my seeds yet. Was thinking of buying them from the health ranger store. Where did you buy them? I got to get another grinder just for the tobacco too.
American legend, im growing my own this year after they raised the taxes AGAIN in Belgium to an unacceptable level. Enough is Enough , im growing my own
