Pedicularis densiflora aka Indian Warrior
Indian Warrior (Pedicularis densiflora) is the most potent species of Pedicularis. Known for its powerful sedating and tranquilizing effects, we have great confidence in these beautiful magenta colored buds.
Pedicularis densiflora (Indian Warrior) was used medicinally as a muscle relaxant and is thought to be smoked by at least one Native American tribe for its narcotic effects and is reported to produce a delightful smoke.

The Cape Blue Water Lily (Nymphaea capensis) is an aquatic, flowering plant of the family Nymphaeaceae. It is found growing in freshwater habitats in South Africa and neighbouring countries.
Nymphaea capensis is closely related to Nymphaea caerulea AKA Blue Lotus as well as Nymphaea alba, White Lotus. They are similar in shape and appearance with Cape Blue Water Lily being a bright purple, the Blue Lotus being a sky-blue color and White Lotus being, ummmm, white.
Our Cape Blue Water Lily is organic-farm grown and is a beautiful purple color.

Recently there has been a lot of idiotic stories going around in the media about Colorado River Toad “licking” after a man arrested in Kansas City on drug charges had a toad in his apartment (A note here. He didn’t buy it from us). After having reporters show up “live on the scene” at our shop, we want to make sure and clear up some things:
1. Toad licking is largely an urban legend, generally concerning The Cane Toad, Bufo marianus… and will not get you high or turn the toad into a prince. From Wikipedia:
Rumors, dating from the 1970s, claimed that groups of hippies or “teenagers” were licking the psychoactive toads to get high. One version of the story has hippies in the hills of California chasing toads through the woods to get high.In another version, the infamous cane toad of Australia was said to be licked or ingested both by aborigines and by Australian hippies. These stories were propagated by a number of sources, including drug-abuse lectures, at least one textbook, and USA Today in 1988. The idea of toad-licking was even used as a plot for one episode of the television programs L.A. Law, Family Guy and The Simpsons. The story was never true. While it certainly cannot be proven that no one has ever licked a toad in California, there is no documented evidence for toad-licking as a regular practice of any group at any time, nor is there any documented evidence that hallucinatory effects can be achieved in this way.
What?… you didn’t really think it was true did you?
3. Licking a toad won’t kill you. You may get salmonella and wish you were dead, but you won’t die. (Like with any reptile or amphibian please wash your hands before and after handling your pet)
4. Your pet store would sell them if there was a market for them not because they’re dangerous. They sell poison dart frogs (which are much more dangerous than Colorado River Toads) to 8-year-old kids. They’re not concerned about the safety of their customer. They’re concerned with making money and there just isn’t much of a market for $150 toads.
So… Please dont lick the toads (or poison dart frogs).
Keeping in mind that Bufo alvarius, and Bufo marianus toads are unregulated and perfectly legal in the U.S. and make amazing pets,.for the safety of our customers, the safety of our toads and to help us sleep easier at night, email us a copy of the following if you are wanting to purchase a toad from us:
I, _________________ (your name) promise I wont lick said toad in any way, or put any part of the said toad in my mouth for any reason whatsoever.

Fresh Cree Acorus Calamus (Sweet Flag) Rootstock and Live Plants
We are very pleased and excited to offer what is known to the Cree Indians of Northern Alberta as “Weekas”, better known as Sweet Flag. However this is not your typical calamus root here, these are freshly harvested rootstocks rich in asarone and essential oils, far more superior to the common dried root material. Our Cree calamus is the most aromatic and unique sweet flag root we have ever encountered.
Acorus calamus has been called the “coca of the north” for its stimulant properties. The stimulant effects of calamus are well known amongst many tribes but the reports of the rootstock’s hallucinogenic properties originated from use by the Cree and other Northern Tribes, who would chew the fresh root. Hoffer and Osmond’s 1967 account has been cited in many books since its publication as evidence of the plant’s use as a native hallucinogen.
The Cree had numerous medicinal uses for Acorus calamus including an analgesic, to fight the effects of fatigue or exhaustion, to prevent and help cure a hangover and even claimed that chewing the fresh root enabled them to “travel great distances without touching the ground”.
Because our Cree Calamus is extremely fresh, you may discover a new respect for Sweet Flag.
We also offer established, healthy, live plants.
