Wild Dagga - Lion's Tail (Leonotis Leonurus)

This dried Wild Dagga is wildcrafted and harvested sustainably. This is another product that we buy directly from the growers, who still work with this plant for themselves to this day. This unusually aromatic Leonotis leonurus (Lion's Tail) leaf is often preferred by our customers, and gets the most repeat customers; partially because we offer it at such a reduced price. We want to encourage as much sustainable harvesting of this particular Wild Dagga as we can, so offering it near-wholesale allows us to buy more from the growers.

We supply Wild Dagga as a component for creating incense blends, which is one of its traditional uses.

Wild Klip Dagga (Leonotis nepetifolia) Plant

DO NOT ORDER!

Leonotis nepetifolia, also known as Klip Dagga, is a species of plant in the Leonotis genus and the Lamiaceae (mint) family. While most other species in this genus are native to Southern Africa, L. nepetifolia is native to tropical Africa and southern India.  These Leonotis nepetifolia plants are a minimum of 5" tall and growing very quickly. This plant may grow to 6 feet tall, producing brilliant reddish orange, or even purple blooms extruding from a spectacular-looking spiky seedpod with serrated leaves up to 4" wide. It prefers full sun and will not bloom in shade. 

L. nepetifolia (Klip Dagga) is very similar to L. leonurus (Wild Dagga or Lion's Tail.) The main difference is that L. nepetifolia's flowers sprout from a round prickly ball. It is also said that the leaves of L. nepetifolia are more stronger and much less harsh when smoked than those of L. leonurus.  While there are about thirty other plants in the genus Leonotis, L. nepetifolia and L. leonurus are the only two with historical Shamanic use.  Tribes in South Africa reportedly smoke the leaves and flowers of this plant.

These Dagga Plants take a little time to prepare for shipping, so please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery.  We only ship on Mondays and Tuesdays as well, to ensure the plant will never sit over a weekend.
 
PLEASE ORDER THESE SEPARATELY FROM ANY OTHER PRODUCTS. IT WILL ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY OF YOUR PLANT!  PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ONLY SHIP TO THE USA AS WELL!

"Psychedelic Sacrament" - by Dan Merkur, PhD

In The Mystery of Manna, religious historian Dan Merkur provided compelling evidence that the miraculous bread that God fed the Israelites in the wilderness was psychedelic, made from bread containing ergot--the psychoactive fungus containing the same chemicals from which LSD is made. Many religious authorities over the centuries have secretly known the identity and experience of manna and have left a rich record of their involvement with this sacred substance.

In The Psychedelic Sacrament, Manna's companion work, Dan Merkur elucidates a body of Jewish and Christian writings especially devoted to this tradition of visionary mysticism. He discusses the specific teachings of Philo of Alexandria, Rabbi Moses Maimonides, and St. Bernard of Clairvaux that refer to special meditations designed to be performed while partaking of the "psychedelic sacrament." These meditations combine the revelatory power of psychedelics with the rational exercise of the mind, enabling the seeker to achieve a qualitatively enhanced state of religious transcendence. The Psychedelic Sacrament sheds new light on the use of psychedelics in the Western mystery tradition and deepens our understanding of the human desire for divine union.

Wild Dagga Klip Dagga (Leonotis nepetifolia)
This dried Leonotis nepetifolia Wild Dagga is grown on a small, private farm, without the use of pesticides of any kind. This is the much sought after "Klip Dagga" strain, reportedly the strongest of all the strains.  Since we adore this plant so much here at the shop, we decided to do some independent testing on the different strains to see what we came up with.  In terms of leonurine content, it was confirmed that Klip Dagga and Dagga Flowers do indeed have the highest concentration of that particular alkaloid.
 
One thing to remember, though, is that just becuase there is a higher concentration of a single alkaloid in a plant, it doesn't mean that other strains which contain leonurine, such as Leonotus Leonurus, Motherwort, and Marihuanilla) are less effective; each herb has become reknown for its own unique effects, and Wild Dagga is no exception.  This Klip Dagga is wonderful as a tea on its own, or as an enhancerr for your favorite smoking herbs, maximixing their strength and effects, while using less of everything overall.

Do not drive or operate machinery when under the influence of Wild Dagga.
