NICOTIANA RUSTICA

FAMILY :: SOLANACEAE
WILD TOBACCO: OK, now this is the real stuff, with a nicotine content higher than any commercial tobacco. This plant was probably the first cultivated plant in the history of mankind. It is very highly valued among Native Americans, both north and south, and is an integral part of almost all of their shamanic disciplines. It is a short-lived perennial with yellow-green flowers that look amazingly like those of belladonna. Not an easy smoke.
