Tobacco, San Juan Pueblo

Nicotiana rustica. A traditional native New Mexico variety, grown in secluded patches by San Juan Pueblo elders. Shorter plants with rounded leaves and yellow cup-like flowers. Often collected, dried, and powdered. Some use it straight for ceremony and others add it to moist commercial tobaccos. The Nicotiana rustica species is a very potent species of tobacco. The high concentration of nicotine (up to 9%) in its leaves makes it useful for creating organic pesticides. Nicotine is very toxic, be careful.
