  • Production and sale of tobacco products is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. As of 2005, neither of these bodies restricts homeowners from growing their own tobacco, provided that the grower does not sell or trade the crop. Federal law does not restrict quantity, so homeowners can grow as much tobacco as they choose.

  • Selling or even trading any quantity of homegrown tobacco is much more complex. As soon as a grower sells dried tobacco leaves, cigarettes or any other product, that grower becomes a marketer. According to federal law, all marketers must pay tax on their sales. Penalties for non-payment of taxes can be extremely stiff. While most legal authorities don't prosecute people for selling small quantities, it's still illegal to sell any tobacco without paying the appropriate taxes. Providing tobacco to people under the age of 18 also carries significant penalties.

so you are saying "home sales" should be illegal?

what about "commercial" sales?

i have never argued for the legality of "home" sales. i have simply stated that if marijuana is made legal, some type of sales will follow. whether it be dispensaries, mom and pop, shops, or HUGE corporations. there will ALWAYS be a market for marijuana.


from your own quote, it seems you CAN sell tobacco, you just have to make sure to pay the tax. ;)

You can injest tea leaves or tomatoes. Either one you can put a sign next to a table on your front lawn and sell them. Unless you are making big bucks, Uncle Sam won't break down your door and ram their cock in your ass.

same thing they said to the dispensary guy they just gave ten years to.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said Sandusky was abusing the state system on a large scale -- with at least 1,000 marijuana plants -- and making a large profit. In a memo, prosecutors said Sandusky is an "unrepentant manipulator who used the perceived ambiguity surrounding 'medical' marijuana to*exploit a business opportunity for himself."
Sandusky "used G3 as a means to replace the vast income he lost from the collapse of his real estate business," the prosecution memo continued. "Defendant built a veneer of legitimacy around his criminal enterprise using his customers' good-faith search for pain relief. There is absolutely no altruistic component to defendant's continued and sustained criminality."
