Tobacco hunting

[wrigsted]

Rustica is the only one I've got to survive as a guerrilla grow here in Denmark. The Danish name for Rusticas is "Peasant-Tobacco" and historically it has been cultivated as an emergency crop so the farmer had something to trade with if anything went wrong. It has been grown up in Finland, where it was known as "Kessu" or the Russian "Махорка"
But it has not really been in use around here, since the Second World War.

In the faq there is a lot of seed sources too, New hope springs to mind right away, good prices and seed counts.

leverhead you get damania growing wild down in texas dont you ? i have made an herbal smoke with that and it was very pleasant and smooth

I tried damiana a few times, mixed with valerian (which grows wild around here and is easy to find because it smells like cat pee). It seemed to be a very good muscle relaxer and seemed to increase circulation and lower heart rate. Not a very tasty smoke, but probably has good uses as a herbal remedy.
