I remember reading something a while back about the cigarette company RJ Reynolds buying up as much available land as possible when the first talks about marijuana legalization started for future crops. Also that they had plans on putting the stuff in small amounts in present day cigarettes to get us subconciously addicted and ready to buy when it hits the market…anybody else hear of this or should I stay away from those conspiracy theory websites?

This land would differ from the land where tabacco is planted in what way?

OK…I see that this post went through the first time I tried it a few pages back. No need to reply to this one unless you want to.
