Love your video, wish the elites would practice what they preach and just dinosaur themselves...
I get a notion that vaping is more dangerous than organic tobacco.... thoughts? Some ex-smoker I know who owns a shop swears by it, but breathing plastic (propylene glycol) can't be too good...

So far as I know, the depopulation movement started with Thomas Malthus in the early 19th century... That elitist shmuck actually preached that the world's resources would collapse under the weight of 1 billion occupants... Whatta loser! The insanity goes on today, but with certain highly concentrated population centers and a seven fold population, it's easier to dramatize things...
Thanks for not being a sheeple XD

Thomas Malthus was such a bastard. From At Home by Bill Bryson:
It's amazing how this genocidal maniac's ideas have swept into the mainstream and become a part of a classic liberal education. Did you know he published his essays anonymously? He didn't even have the courage to stand behind his arguments - probably because he knew he'd be rightfully hanged for them.
Props to @lyndsaybowes for calling out this kind of thinking for what it is.

Oh thank you so much for that rant! So sick of hearing those judgements! Not that I smoke, but if someone chooses to, what business is it of anyone else's? No I don't want to be standing around breathing it in, but neither do I want to be standing around breathing in car fumes. Legs are useful in this case.
I was actually just writing up some thoughts on this 'population problem ' people keep putting forward, but wasn't sure whether to post them. I might just take the plunge and post them anyway now!

You go @lyndsaybowes!
I bought 5 or 6 different kinds of tobacco seed a few years ago but never got around to planting it. You know tobacco is actually a close relative of the tomato don't you? Even though I didn't grow tobacco I did get a new pipe recently and just enough tobacco to claim a
newrekindled vice.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Oooh wow, no I didn't know it was a close relative to tomato! Wowee!! Thank you for the information that's definitely interesting...I'm trying to see the link between them. Let me know if you ever end up growing, and vice ON!

Don't plant the tobacco plants anywhere near the tomato plants, they share the same diseases, and tobacco mosaic virus can infect tomato plants. The same goes for potato plants, they are related to tomato plants. Also, if you can, skip a year before you plant tomato plants where you had tobacco plants before, for the same reason. Some of the diseases stay in the ground over the winter.

Still have some tobacco seeds in my seed box from ages ago. Wonder if they're still viable? They've been in the fridge for about 5 yrs. Hell, who knows. I went to vaping and it's worked for me for years now but I do enjoy the whif of a cig from someone somewhere when I catch it's scent.... :)

Yes, they'll want to keep a few slaves around that's for sure, because what fun would it be without people to order around and make do all their work for them. Humanity must rise up, I know things will have to get a lot worse before most people look outside of their comfortable bubbles, and see reality for what it is.

Yes we do have to rise up but we have to know our enemy and they do think that way, Everyone but them is expendable I think its going to take more than just peace & love to get rid of that ideology. just an opinion.

Damn woman - you got an amazing handful of leaves right there!
So you plant the seeds in late March? And then water them from the bottom?
I'd love to try this next year. Maybe when I get a few more Steem Dollars I can send a few your way in exchange for some seeds? (I just powered up and spent the rest of my allowance on a custom trading card from @steemitadventure (!!!) but should have some funds coming sooner or later...)
Are you going to air-dry or flue-cure the leaves? What about cutting and rolling them? I can't wait to see the rest of the process!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah our curing method needs some serious work, we really need a set up for it. Last year I dried them on my herb drying line in my kitchen. The leaves didn't get that nice golden brown colour. Growing it is the easy part...curing it...is a bit of a bitch if you don't have the right tools...we'll get there eventually.
This year instead of drying it in the house, I'm trying to dry it in the greenhouse. Will see how it goes...
I'd gladly send you some seed, any way you want to send me your address, just shoot it over and I'll get em off to ya.

Interesting post.
I've thought it might be kind of fun to try and grow tobacco. What zone do you need to be in and what kind of soil does it like.
Have you considered doing an expanded post about growing it. Seems like you covered how to start the seedlings, what do you do next?
Maybe I need to go do some research before I start asking a bunch of questions that I could easily find on the net.
Anyhow, very interesting.
