It got me wondering why more people don't grow their own?
My grandad used grow his own tobacco and then send it off to get dried and he’d get it back in the post.
It gets grown in research a lot as it’s a model organism so you can change the genetics comparatively easily.
Mine use to grow his own as well and pack it into blocks, then shave it off with his pen knife - but this was for a pipe.
My grandma stopped him doing it as she read in Reader's Digest that smoking your own tobacco could make you blind.
