Mapacho Nicoti.. Incense
Nicotiana rustica, known in South America as Mapacho, is a plant in the Solanaceae family. It is a very potent variety of tobacco. The high concentration of nicotine in its leaves makes it useful for creating organic pesticides.
Rustica was used for entheogenic purposes by South American shamans and as a smudging incense.
Growing in the rainforest it contains up to twenty times more nicotine than common North American varieties such as N. tabacum.
After extraction and testing we have found this figure inaccurate in some cases only showing 1.5 to 3 times more nicotine than common tobacco.
Other reasons for its shamanic use are the comparatively high levels of MAOI beta-carbolines, including harman and norharman. It is also smoked in cigars and used as an enema and as an anthelmintic effective against tapeworm infections.
