All true IMO. Gonna be a lot of bootleggers when the shit goes down and big tobacco and pharma get involved. I know plenty of the savvy and positioned growers and breeders are gonna get $$$rich when it goes down... But at what cost???Anyway not the spot for it. I will say though that my great grandpa whom I was lucky enough to know personally was a moonshiner. Illegal still after the 21st amendment and still persecuted since he wasn't part of the corporate legalization.Its funny because people are bored with Jack Daniels so now we have small batch moonshine blowing UP in the east/ Midwest/ south. One of the most popular is using THE Popcorn Sutton recipe:) ima roll like grandpaps... I don't know how to cash in, don't have that position or connections or inclination. BUT I have passion and love for this plant and it's future diversity and viability will be in the underground...
p.s. There used to be more than one strain of tobacco. There was a more potent/ psychoactive strain called tobacco rustica. It caused people/workers to relax and ponder life, almost psychedelic... It's still around thanks to very small farmers, but rare....
