Apart from smoking it has loads of different uses.
It also acts as a natural insect defense.
It can help with breathing problems to open air ways.
It can be taken orally to induce vomiting.
I cant believe its been planted in the boarders of my local park and no one realizes its there???
I started mine off a month late this year.
Then transplanted them into the garden at about 3-4 inches high in June this year.
Even if you just grow it for your self imagine the money you will say per year on fags.
You can harvest the lower leaves as they start to turn yellow and harvest the rest in the late autumn before we get any frost.
This year 12 plants should be enough for two years smoking and now chemicals or sprays were used, So its organic as well.
Nicotine can also be used as a lethal weapon if its distilled down into a concentrate. Very easy to make nicotine concentrate.
I have a list of uses for tobacco somewhere???
When i find it i will post them up.
trading would be good ,could make some good trades with this.people would give a lot for the small pleasures in life WTSHTF
