99plonko, I looked into it a number of years ago and quickly realised that it's been made so difficult and expensive to comply that it's far better to go the illegal route.
Much the same as marijuana. Far better to grow your own. A little research and you can get some very satisfactory results. Also, tobacco is easy to grow.
I would never let the illegality of a substance stop me if I decided to use it myself. And that's the secret, just do it for your own use and never sell it.
