Growing your own tobacco

Has anyone here tried to grow their own tobacco, and if so, did it turn out alright?

I tried some from out of the kilns when I used to pick it, bloody disgusting, takes a bit to cut it up too....and I was given about a kilo of locally grown stuff that looked good, but that tasted like crap too.
Easy enough to grow but it's the drying and blending thats the hard bit

All the black market stuff Ive had has been as strong as fuck....

Stick to the green market....

As long as it's cut, rubbed and flavored correctly it's great. I'll be growing some this coming year.

not that they probably give a shit, but you all know thats illegal, yes?

I didnt know if it was legit or not so wont meantion any names. You can buy the sylvia seeds and plants from switched on gardner as well as the end product even after they were busted so is it illegal will warn my mate if so

Salvia Divinorum is perfectly legal in New Zealand, although National MP Jacqui Dean did try to get it banned. Growing tobacco for personal use is fine, selling it, bartering it, or even giving it away to your mates is not.

That is correct, if you sell flowers. Tobacco products need to be sold by a licensed seller, this way the gubberment can watch your sales etc and tax you, seeing as there are the obvious large taxation's on these things here.
