Wild tobacco is considered poisonous though was traditionally used by North American Indians for skin wounds and rashes. It is still in use during ceremonies. Nine times more potent than cultivated tobaccos, with more nicotine, it is a source of nicotine sulfate, an insecticide for the control of aphids, thrips, whiteflies and mites.
I grow it specifically for ceremonial uses and suggest keeping it away from small pets and children.
