It's So Amazing I Can Taste It

Nicotania tabacum

I have been growing these lovely flowers in my garden and have discovered that their flowers produce a vibrant and rich floral scent only in the evenings.

As it turns out, the entire plant contains some percentage of nicotine;

"Every part of the plant except the seed contains nicotine, but the concentration is related to different factors such as species, type of land, culture or weather conditions. The concentration of nicotine increases with the age of the plant.

Tobacco leaves contain 2 to 8% of nicotine combined as malate or citrate.

The distribution of the nicotine in the mature plant is widely variable: 64% of the total nicotine exists in the leaves; 18% in the stem, 13% in the root, and 5% in the flowers." (Inchem.org)


I am going to dry and smoke the flowers in the vaporizer with other herbs.
