When I lived in North Carolina (circa '81) the tobacco growers were the best weed growers in the state.:stoned:

They would actually grow the tobacco on the perimeter and the MJ in the interior. Killer sinsemilla with much more bang per square foot.

These guys sold their tobacco to the major tobacco companies even though they were independents.

If MJ is ever legalized then these guys would be the logical choice for regulated growing and the tobacco companies will be their mouth pieces.

"Big tobacco" would not have to make any major adjustments to switch to growing & distributing MJ.
