Description
We grow Mapacho (Aztec/Indian/Hopi Tobacco / ππππ€π©πππ£π π§πͺπ¨π©πππ) mainly as an organic insecticide/companion plant (nicotine is a natural insect repellent) but have decided to make it available for purchase this year. It has high spiritual value and is used traditionally in ceremonial activities. Considered to be one of the earliest cultivated plants, this tobacco species is native to the Andes Mountains and used by South American shamans as an essential ingredient for ceremonies – itβs considered a βmaster plant of first importanceβ and the βking of plants.βββββββ
Ingredients: 4 grams cured Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica).
IMPORTANT NOTE: ππππ€π©πππ£π π§πͺπ¨π©πππ has up to 10 times more nicotine than Nicotiana tabacum, the species used in commercial cigarettes. Additionally, it contains psychoactive alkaloids that can induce visionary states.ββββββββ
