Oh yes and growing it is a real felony of the federal kind not state kind. If you grow marijuana that is a state offence under drugs but growing tobacco is federal as you are not paying the excise tax so defrauding the govt of its rightful moneys from your endeavours. Growing tobacco is worse than growing marijuana under Australian laws.
