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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp3Vmpl4pLljm8ksi=IP82dzkk_Wn0Ht7m Be sure to leave your comments and experience if you have grown or tried this type! contact me at carpo420 at gmail To support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/carpo719 15 Minute Free Thinking Podcast: 15-minute-free-thinking.simplecast.com/episodes/19-finding-the-secrets-facing-life-with-gusto-and-the-psychedelic-shadow Hit subscribe I'll be sharing more tobacco videos this year once I get going❤

I used to be a smoker but I quit cigarettes a couple years with no issues, both my mom and myself can smoke for years then either finssh a pack or in my case didn’t smoke enough and just threw the rest away. I got a job with a friend who was the store manager of a gas station. We sold flavored vapes and had a policy that said vapes had to be tested before you leave so we could vape in the store. Cigarettes were easy to quit but vaping has been a lot harder due to the flavors and lack of smell

I've enjoyed vaping since I quit smoking and I feel a lot better and my lungs do too

Ex smoker here, I quit in 1994 or so, now on nicotine patches because of health reasons. Considering growing tobacco to have nicotine in the future.

[@carpo719]

I quit smoking myself... and found nicotine was not my enemy it was cigarettes that caused my problems. But it's an interesting molecule by itself. Vaping helped and I wanted to quit that as well, but I realized nicotine is beneficial for me. I did try the gum for a while. It's not too bad.

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.

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.

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

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!

[@tofan2622]

I subbed literally because of this statement. "In a SHTF scenario, everybody stores stuff, food, ammunition, tobacco will always be a trade item". Being impartial is important, even if you disagree generally with what somebody does, like in this scenario, we can bond together from our want to be prepared. You may not personally agree that I have x, y, z guns, and I may not agree on some of the stuff you may own, but we both understand being prepared is smart. We can take that knowledge and share it among our community who MAY be interested in doing that type of thing, where myself or you wouldn't have that specific piece of knowledge. Great video. Reasonable, down to earth, and communication wins out every single time.

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.

Video actually starts at 1:27. Skip there, unless you actually enjoy babbling disclosures and prefaces. No shade on the creator, but I’m certain most folks watching don’t care if the topic of tobacco is controversial or taboo, in terms of KZbin’s guidelines, to begin with. That’s one of the advantages of reading texts manually over video. It’s a lot easier to recognize when the preface is unnecessary dribble and skip to chapter 1. With video, unless they mark it with chapters, you’re left to guess where the relevant information begins.

Here in UK the king has introduced a law that makes tobacco smoking obsolete by adding every year a year on the age restriction so today teens will never have the age for smoking tobacco I can see this creating a new "crop" for contraband so videos like this are more and more important growing tobacco was common during the hard times of the war

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

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 -.-

Stacking. Interesting. I'm gonna try that. I have a greenhouse full of Havanna tobacco. My plan is to hand roll Havanna cigars. I've been watching so many videos and I really believe I can do it. I'm just waiting for the flowers and seed pods now. I also have Lobelia Inflata plants. Now that's tobacco with no nicotine. That's helpful when quitting smoking.

[@ihomeproservices7040]

I quit smoking. I tried vape but that shit seems to be worse bro. I’ve always puffed cigars. So that’s what I do. I just puff cigars and dip zyn. I like nicotine tho. It actually has benefits. Energy, testosterone etc. the misconception is because of snuff and cigarettes. Taking it that way is definitely bad for your health. I’m growing Georgia gold. Just for the hell of it. It’s also a commodity in the apocalypse lol. I have one plant that’s huge it’s actually a cool looking plant.

[@powers1776reset]

In boot camp, a can of dip was worth a standard 50 bucks, and I’m sure a lot more in some cases. I imagine jail, even more so. Anyone addicted to nicotine, knows all too well, that it’s when stress gets involved, the habit peaks in intensity. I’d bet tobacco has saved many lives in war scenarios. Personally I believe it’s one of the greatest plants there is

In Australia, yiu can be fined upwards of 300,000 dollars and serve 10 years maximum jail sentance if found growing tobacco. Liscenses to grow havent been handed out since 2006, its a joke. Good thing, theres is a ton of wild tobacco that grows here, its easy to differentiate between species, but most are incredibly potent. Still good stuff tho lol

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.💛🌿💛💚🌞

[@dementus420]

It's definitely worth It's weight in gold and perhaps even more given the proper scenario. The more desperate and beat down people are, the more they will want tobacco. The seeds, growing knowledge, drying and curing, and processing know how, would all be in high demand during the desperate times. I also love growing tobacco, along with growing all different kinds of plants, and I love smoking a pipe. I have no reason NOT to grow it! This is my 1st year growing tobacco and my plants are looking amazing. I'm growing oronoko strain. 1 of my plants I'm letting go to seed is almost 9ft tall. I swear, some of the lower leaves on mine are the size of like 15 cell phones put together. It's ridiculous. It's amazing what great compost and a micronutrient rich fertilizer will do for any plant. I cannot wait until mine is ready to smoke!

You dont hang them anymore to dry you just stack 10 of them but what do you do exactly you turn them each day? I'm confuse and english his not my first language.

[@deths1679]

One of the Elders in my Tribe shared with me how to identify the traditional tobacco we grew and used around the Mohave Desert. Ive been growing it for 2 years now and collecting the seeds. I don’t know how it is related to other tobacco plants but we call it coyote tobacco and it grows as a small bush. The leaves are not very big, mostly palm size but they look like the bigger tobacco leaves. I would like to start growing and curing enough for ceremonies but not really sure how to cure them. It is interesting to work with them and the smell reminds me of datura leaves. But if I just handle the fresh leaves or seed pods for more than 15 - 20 minutes they will start giving me the shakes like Ive had to much caffeine and cigarettes.

[@floobious80866]

Smoking is a very nice and very ancient habit, and is the fastest method of imbibing any medicament, I also have grown rustica, and tabacum an sylvestris, rustica is excellent for making baltic smoke cured, though sylvestris has got the finest quality's of leaf w a sweetness better than most other varietys, Cuban is a good alrounder with traits of rustica an wild like sylvestris cigar leaves, the recipe I had best success with was a 4000 Yr old Chinese one named "Ang houn" perfect for the pigtail, block press, pipe rolling and snuffs etc etc, the flowers are soo aromatic for those balmy summer evenings, love your knowledge and dedication... 💥💖🏁
