(Leonotis leonurus)
Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
Nicknames: Leonotis leonurus(scientific name);[1] lion's tail;[1] and wild dagga;[1]
Legal Classification: Wild Dagga (Leonotis leonurus) is 100% legal in the USA. In the country of Latvia, Leonotis leonurus has been illegal since November 2009, and is classified as a Schedule 1 drug.[1] Possession of quantities up to 1 gram are fined up to 280 euros. Possession and distribution of larger quantities can be punished with up to 15 years in prison.[1] In Poland, Leonotis leonurus was banned in March 2009.[1]
This absurd legal stance on a harmless plant like Wild Dagga is by numerous governments I believe, is largely due to fast acting politicians whose poor decisions were fueld by fear, and lack of good truthful intel. The truth about this plant, is that on its own, has little to no noticeable psychoactivity. I've tried it. It's not popular for a reason, nor has there been any government movement to ban it. The reason is because it just isn't any good in terms of being a narcotic. I used to market for Bouncing Bear Botanicals. What I think was going on, was different shops may have been lacing it with jwh-018, and then telling people that it was psychoactive naturally(which is illegal under the mislabling act law).
One study states that: "Research has proven the psychoactive effects of the crude extract of L. leonurus"[3] HOWEVER, this does not mean that it gets you high. Psychoactive substances range in strength and noticability to greatly varying degrees. Tea is psychoactive, but does not get you high. A lot of marketing ploys in the Ethnobotanical industry play on the desire and demand for "legal highs". Pay attention to what's popular and what isn't. If something has been legal for 30 years and you still don't hear people rambling on about how great it is, then it probably is just being hyped up. Wild Dagga does show promise as a wonderful medicinal plant however, and being used as a subtle psychoactive(on par with Tea or Kava), isn't so bad of a thing.
There have been a number of other social exaggerations pushed on unsuspecting consumers in regards to plants like the Wild Dagga, Blue Lotus, Kanna, and others, such as this idea that "thujone", an active component of Wormwood used in absinthe, "gets you high like thc"(something that is not true at all). Another social exaggerations (misinformation ploy, false marketing campagin), is with Blue Lotus being pushed like it gets you high, when in fact it is merely a waste of money. Again, to someone who understands how much of the active phytochemical is in X amount of dried plant material, and knows phytochemistry, blue lotus may be worth while, to the average consumer who wants to make a tea or tincture out of an ounce of flower petals, not so much. Bottom line, most of these "psychoactive ethnobotanicals", are only worth while to those who know what to do with them, for everyone else, they're merely an impulse by, or being financially snared by wishful thinking and the desire to get high legally. To better understand this, see this PubChem article on how phytochemist isolate active compounds from plants
The truth is, a lot of these "ethnobotanicals" are only worth while to phytochemist, who have the knowledge to isolate out the legal potential narcotics that they produce, in adequate amounts fo produce desired psychoactive effects. Upon digging, I can see that it looks like certain Wikipedia entries were added to YouTube specifically for backlinks for Bouncing Bear Botanicals, and sense John the owner and them, were involved in the OG jwh-018 "k2" operation, that started the legal THC market, and they were tied in with a bunch of academics, I smell conspiracy. I think they were hyping these things up to promote spice and or "k2" sales. From my experience with Wild Dagga, even though the science shows that it does produce a mildly psychoactive phytochemical, I have observed that it does NOT produce a high like people are claiming in their marketing. One academic source pretty much clears up my suspecions when it states: "Deliberate adulteration of L. leonurus with synthetic cannabinoids has been reported recently, in an attempt to facilitate the marketing of these illegal substances"[3]
A skilled phytochemist could isolate out leonurine from Wild Dagga, which is thought to be a psychoactive drug, however this appears to be merely hype that Leonotis leonurus is a recreational drug(unless you've gotten to try pure leonurine, on the other hand). Fact: Somewhere out there, are individuals with access to pure leonurine and insane amounts(thousands) of legal drugs, isolated from plants, including non-psychoactive ones, which are the most powerful and effective medicines on the planet(as they are God-made phytochemicals that exist naturally within plants) The true nature and origins of medicine are being covered up by the occult and hidden from the Jewish and Christian people, as well as other people from Abrahamic walks of faith. The enemy works by keeping the children of God in the dark, and lacking in wisdom and knowledge.
Plant Family: Lamiaceae;[1] [ A member of the Mint Family! ] Genus: Leonotis;[1] Species: L. leonurus;[1]
Ethnobotany: Wild Dagga(or Leonotis leonurus) is native to South Africa, where the Hottentot tribe used this plant religiously.[1] It's leaf has been traditionally used leaf to brew a decoction, which makes a strong purgative, and is used for wound healing and asthma.[2] For sores and skin infections, the leaves and stems are prepared into a medicine, that's then applied topically.[2] They can also be prepared to be consumed orally for high blood pressure and diabetes.[2] It's been traditionally prepared to treat hypertension, coughs and headaches as well.[2] The Hottentot tribe was fond of Wild Dagga, and smoked it instead of Tobacco at times.[2] They also used a decoction of the leaf as whats called a "purgative", and as an emmenagogue.[2] A medicinal tea made from the leaf is said to have a hynoptic effect, and relieves headache. It's been used for cough, common cold, influenza, cronchitis, would healing, and asthma, so it is mostly a respiratory herb.[2]
Natural Habitat: South Africa;[1]
Mixes well with: Because it is in the Mint family, it should naturally synergize well with other mints, as well as enhance their properties. Try it with Lemon balm, Inebriating Mint, or any other variety.
OG Observations: Legal highs are an industry, and in demand, but when it comes to Wild Dagga (Leonotis leonurus), Blue Lotus, Kanna, Amanita Muscaria, etc, it is a bunch of satanic lies and hype. Stick with Kratom, illegal Cannabis(real cannabis, not this fake "thca" crap, avoid vapes, and dodge 99% of "hemp derived" products.) Only buy your Kratom from Indonesia and beware that the socialist will try to rig the potency so everyone has access to only trash grade product that will NOT satisfy you, while they steal the rest for theirselves.

What is Phytochemistry? What are Phytochemicals? Phytochemistry is the study of the pharmacological phytochemicals produced by and contained within the plant material of various ethnobotanicals. Ethnobotanicals are connected to both organized crime, the big pharmaceutical industry, the illegal drug trade, and academic fields of interest, and the occult, but they're also tied to God given rights people have to use plants as medicine instead of pharmaceuticals. It's a very interesting market because it borders on all these different "forces that be". Phytochemist discover drugs, thanks to ethnobtanist, and the ethnobotanical industry.[4][5] The black market, the big pharma industry, and the legal commerce trade, as well as academic, and occult, are all fighting over control of ethnobotanicals. It's an important industry with biblical implications. People don't know about ethnobotany and its related fields. It all ties in with the fruit from the tree of knowledge from the book of Genesis too, and I'm not the only one that thinks that.. Just ask the Mckenna brothers, two scholars who have PH.d's in these related fields of study.
Phytochemicals: leonurine[1], or "labdanes";[1] marrubiin;[1] flavanoids, labdane type diterpenoids and other phenolics[2] Also produced by Wild Dagga: luteolin-7-O-glucoside, leoleorin L, Leoleorin C and Marrubin;[2] sterols, diterpenes, triterpenoids, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, quinines and saponins[2] Terpenes: p-Cymene, Limonene, (Z)-β-Ocimene, (E)-β-Ocimene, γ-Terpinene, Terpinolene, β-Bourbonene, β-Cubebene, β-Caryophyllene, α-Humulene, Germacrene, Bicyclogermacrene, Caryophyllene oxide, Spathulenol[2]
Pharmacological / Medicinal Properties: Wild Dagga produces and contains significant amounts of nutrients and minerals.[2] Essential oils captured from Wild Dagga yield very high content in the way of monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, which demonstrate pharmacologically significant antimicrobial activities.[2] The plant has scientifically been proven to produce antioxidant and antibacterial properties.[2] One of the academic sources that I cite on this professional blog tells us that: "An array of pharmacological studies based on traditional claims reported anticonvulsant, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anthelmintic activities and hypoglycemic properties of L. leonurus"[2] There is tons of more scientific literature out there that I could cite, and more facts about the pharmacology and mechanisms of action behind its medicinal properties, but it would take me all week to finish that blog.
