“Plant medicine helps us to remember who we are and where we come from.”

In the Hierarchy of Plant Medicines, Tobacco comes on top.

This is what I found out from Jason, as we talked about plant medicine, and in particular, Tobacco, which is considered a master plant in many cultures.

I discovered tobacco as medicine in 2019 and now understand why it is considered the “Plant of Power” while Ayahuasca is more of a teacher plant of Sight.

We talk about the Shamanic notion of Power, which is related to self-knowledge and inner processes, more than outward control.

“All of these plants come from a very specific place, a very specific time, a very specific culture. There is a context in which they are used. There are rites and rituals to really begin to experiences all the benefits of these plants.”
