[QUOTE="john250, post: 674755, member: 4406"] You can still grow all the tobacco you want. If you sell what you grow, stay small time and you likely won't be bothered--but FDA now controls the game. And if you start making money, the tax man will quickly show up. To answer your original :?: , you must get a common unit. MJ is sold as ounces or fractions of ounces while Dr Nicotine is sold as packs (or cartons of 20 packs). To get cigs to ounces, assume 1200 cigs/lb. Get to ounces by dividing by 16. 75 cigs/oz 75 cigs=3.75 packs I buy Marlboro Soft Pack Reds and I buy them one pack at a time. $5.51 including all taxes. The ounce of tobacco made 3.75 packs for which some fool (me) will pay $20.66. I'm told an ounce of MJ sells for considerably more than $20.66. Now I'm gonna speculate that consumption patterns are different with the two, and that has to be considered. Look how long 3.75 packs feeds the habit vs how long an ounce of MJ lasts someone who isn't a rapper. The nicotine addict is going to buy more of the product, so cost per ounce will only give a rough estimate of total cost to the consumer. [/QUOTE]
