I don't believe it for a second. Nobody grows their own tobacco. It's much easier to buy a carton of cigarettes than to grow your own, dry the leaves and roll them. Probably cheaper too, even with the taxes on tobacco.

You legalize pot, and it will be dirt cheap. The only cost will be the taxes. Nobody will grow their own. Too much trouble.
