Sacred Tobacco

Tobacco holds a unique place among plants.  It was the crop most widely cultivated, used, and traded throughout the Americas.  Tobacco has been found in antiquity from the southern tip of South America all the way to the Northern territories of North America and everywhere in between. Tobacco is a plant in the nightshade family. Nicotiana rustica is an old variety of tobacco that has been cultivated in the Amazon for many thousands of years.  This variety is very potent, often containing up to ten times the amount of nicotine that a standard leaf of nicotiana tobacum (commercial tobacco) may have.  Nicotiana rustica was actually the original tobacco that was planted as far as North America.  But, probably do to its commercialization, nicotiana tobacum eventually became more profitable as its smoother, less harsh quality lent to people being able to smoke more. Tobacco, or mapacho as it is called in the Amazon, is a sacred medicine of people all throughout the Americas, where it is indigenous to.  It is often said that tobacco is the grandfather plant, from which all other plants sprung forth.  In the Amazon, tobacco has an almost universe appeal as medicine, spanning most indigenous groups.  It is taken in different ways, either smoked, snorted, or drunk.  When smoked it us used as a way to clear energy; both of a space and of a person.  In North America the passing of the pipe is symbolic of this type of use.  When important decisions were to be made, before any man spoke, h Sold on Home (https://crimsonsage.com/product/sacred-tobacco/).
