Gorilla Glue Auto (Zamnesia) FIRST GROW

@RussianGrower, great story, thanks! 🙏 So Tsar Peter picked up a few habits spending time in Amsterdam. 😉 And funny that the Russian people seem to prefer the stronger stuff... I guess it goes well with strong vodka! I probably should try to brew some myself after harvesting my Peruvian potatoes. 👌

@StonedApe, By the 20th century, smoking of Nicotiane Rustic had already become routine, and after the First World War and the Civil War in Russia, it was almost the only way to smoke nicatine. By the time Stalin came to power, she was already smoked by almost everything, from repressed prisoners in counterattacks to high communist party leaders. Unfortunately, I have no experience in cultivating it, but I remember how my grandfather in a village in Soviet Russia always grew Nicotiana rustica and smoked it, never recognized modern cigarettes and consider them a toy for children. I still have a few packs of Soviet Nicotiana rustica that have been stored for about 35 years. But now few people grow it, only fans, since the tobacco market also has many positive changes, as well as the cannabis genetics market.

@StonedApe,Hey. Yes, in Russia, historically, "Nicotiana rustica" was a very common plant among peasants. Russian people got acquainted with smoking a little later than Western Europeans. This happened in the second half of the 16th century during the time of Ivan the Terrible. The story of the appearance of tobacco in Russia began with English merchants who presented the court with new fun as a gift. But smoking did not become popular, in addition, tobacco was unavailable and very expensive, because it was practically not brought into the country. Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich outlawed tobacco. At first, the prohibitions were rather lenient: only merchants were fined and occasionally corporally punished, the found tobacco leaf was destroyed. But these measures showed low efficiency. There were more smokers, and merchants continued to sell tobacco, because the fear of non-fearful punishment was incomparably weaker than the thirst for profit. Everything changed with Peter's coming to power, in February 1697 he lifted the bans and signed the law on free trade in tobacco. Then the king went with the Great Embassy to Europe, from where he brought tobacco to Russia again and his passionate love for him. The young reformer decided to instill this passion with his people with the same energy that he imposed European traditions on the population.

Thanks @AlpineGoat! 🙏 Yopo is extremely easy to grow inside (at least so far). I brought the seeds from the Amazon, but they are also easy to find at smartshops or online. I quite enjoy watching the plants opening and closing their cute tiny leaves according to the light, yet another bit of natural magic. 😀
