      fun fact, nicotine is produced in the roots. a dude in lake oswego oregon made tomacco in 2003. you graft a tomato plant onto some tobacco roots. you can also use tomato roots with tobacco grafted on to get tobacco without nicotine.

      granted, I read about this over a decade ago so some details may be fuzzy

      Tobacco is a hardier plant that can be grown in more places than coca AFAIK.

      Now you can support your community with locally grown and cultivated cocaine, instead of relying on imports. Lmao

      Tobacco is easier to grow in more places. This makes it easier to grow and produce medical grade cocaine.

    You can modify tobacco plants to produce a wide variety of pharmaceuticals. It’s a very versatile plant. Last I knew, the University of Kentucky had a large field of various strains of experimental tobacco plants on their research farm.

      No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically “free the base” (aka crack cocaine).

        Fun fact, “free base” is the origin of the of the term “based”.

        Originally it was not a good thing.

        Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.

          Based still has the innate connotation of doing your own thing without caring how others perceive you, which can still be a crackhead kind of trait.

        Can confirm. I was once given a cocaine cigarette without my knowledge and it did have enough of a stimulant effect for me to notice something was off (though I was expecting a spliff, so it was easier to realize that it was having the opposite effect), but I absolutely did not get any kind of high.

        It was mostly just increased heart rate and anxiety with a little nausea, like being overcaffeinated.

        Depending on the dose it could still do some stuff. Just like sniffing freebase cocaine can also give a tiny bit of effect.

        Not that one should be doing that.
