Your Questions About Gardening

GardenersCardiff answers:

I roll my own cigarettes, when I desire a different flavor I put in a few slices of fruit,{like 2 or 3} of apples, or orange or lemon rinds, fresh mint leaves etc, keep in the refrigerator or other cool place, just be sure not to over do it or your tobacco will get too moist, even just 1 small slice will keep your tobacco from drying out without adding flavor.

It is legal in all fifty states to grow your own tobacco. It’s even legal to sell whole leaves so long as the mid rib is not removed. It can not be processed in any way or you will have to get a license to sell it. Some states may have limits on how much you can grow so check before planting a whole field of it.

I grow my own tobacco in Arkansas and no one has bothered me. Not yet, anyway. Tobacco has other legitimate uses besides human consumption. It is a beautiful plant, attracts hornworm moths away from your tomatoes, and can be used to make an organic insecticide. It grows fairly well in pots and can even be used as a houseplant.

North Carolina Tobacco Law

Purchase by persons under the age of 18 years:

* It is illegal for anyone under age 18 to buy, to attempt to buy, to receive or to use a false or misleading proof of age for the purpose of purchasing or receiving any tobacco product or cigarette wrapping papers.
* Persons under age 18 engaging in such activities are guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor, which is a criminal offense punishable by up to 30 days of community service and up to a $1000 fine.

I don’t see anything here preventing you from growing your own. It does not say that possession is a crime either. “Receiving” means getting it from someone else, however. If you get it from a plant, is that “receiving?” I would say “No,” but a judge might say otherwise. Also, you cannot buy rolling papers. I don’t think that you would stop a cop from writing you a citation by saying, “It’s legal because I grew it myself.”
