[quote:Anonymous Coward 53276008:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzg2MTk1MzYzX0Y0MDlDNDIx] [quote:Lance Roseman From BC:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzg2MTk0NjczXzUzNjU1MEVF] When I was doing my study on tobacco, and grew a few varieties, I found out a neat thing. There is no limit in Canada as long as you don't sell it. I enquired because I found out the limit in the US which is 1/4 acre and that is monitored from what they said (15 years ago?). That is a decent barter crop to grow. If you can cure it correctly. Curing smoke is a skillset. One that may come in handy. [/quote] Curing tobacco just takes so long to do that most people won't bother. It has to be fermented and turned like a compost pile, though of course, under more controlled and sterile conditions. You need a nice airy barn to do a batch right. I found links about it: https://totalleafsupply.com/1566-2/ https://dengarden.com/gardening/Tobacco-Growing-and-Curing-at-Home https://www.coffinails.com/curing_tobacco.html https://www.instructables.com/Tobacco-fermentation-curing-chamber-for-cigars/ The traditional corncob pipe has another purpose besides a convenient shape for pipe-making: it cools down that homegrown tobacco! I've mixed a little fresh cornsilk in with my bulk tobacco, when it was too harsh to smoke, to do the same thing. Producing corncob pipes for people's harsh homegrown tobacco might be a good barter but I'd never barter the cured tobacco: it takes too long to get a good product and you could lose it all at once if people know you have it. Would you barter homegrown pot? I mean even in a state where it's legal to grow? I'd never do it no matter how legal it is: it's one of those things that people get too fond of and 'crave' and might do about anything to get it. No pot, no tobacco, no liquor, no pain-relievers of any kind: all are guaranteed sellers at high prices and everybody knows it. I wouldn't even barter with a close relative who isn't at least 75 and more likely to know how to be discreet. [/quote]
