turn the tobacco growing into a medical pot grower...
the best soil to grow herb inis ironically also the best soil to grow tobacco in. my family comes from the mountains of kentucky. they were largly tobacco farmers, and still are ( so you can also see why the prohibition of tobacco hits quite close to home for me) the average tobacco farmer is the poor dirt farmer. not some huge coorporation.
my family also grew hemp till it became non profitable to grow. then it was outlawed they didnt quit because "wild packs of negros and mexicans were using it" but because the taxes were so high they couldnt profit.
the racism card wasnt played until whitey couldnt make no more money off it
