 THE FILTHY WEED
Although a smoke of controversy continues to shroud this plant, tobacco (Nicotiana) has been and continues to be one of the most commonly used and socially important plants.
Its use began in prehistoric America; ethnobotanists surmise that 8000 years ago the leaf blades of wild tobacco plants were wilted, dried, and then rolled into wads to make cigars or stuffed into pipes for smoking.
Tobacco has also been steeped in cold water and drunk to produce acute intoxication, and licking of a thick jelly concentrate of Nicotiana is almost always fatal and is done in a few regions as a bond between blood brothers.
