Actually, I've thought about soaking tobacco to make a solution, I see no danger in that, as it would have to be orally ingested to cause harm. Then the solution could be used as a spray to germinate the seeds and for watering. But - how toxic would be too toxic? I read a claim once that prisoners sometimes commit suicide by soaking cigarette stubs in water and then ingesting it. The article claimed that they would go out with a heart attack while experiencing a soaring high. That sounds pretty toxic. If it was a solution, could you expose the seed without killing it?

You can get cheap mutagen-sticks in packs of 20 in most corner shops. You'll need a burner and a box to contain the smoke within.

However, a university professor I asked told me the radiation from them would be far too weak to induce mutagenesis.Any ideas?-John W. Wilson
