Laws against growing?

GreenIrish · 2013-03-23 14:03:47

if you were caught with a small amount of plants 2-3 what would the penalty be? no prior convictions or trouble with law.

I don't think tobacco grows very well in Ireland.

I would say probably a caution or something similar seen as its only 2 or 3 plants and it would be a first offence

AFAIK there are no laws against growing your own tobacco but you do have to apply to Revenue for a licence.

Any mention of growing any other products will lead to this thread being closed.

You need to apply for a license to grow tobacco? That's certainly a new one to me

So far as I can see, the licensing rules were set down in 1933, and have not changed since: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1933/en/si/0003.html.
