The best thing to do with tobacco is by a few strains of sacred tobbacco and harvest it your self. You can do anything you want to it really. You want to pick the leaves and dry them green and make sure you have the purest soil because tobbacco will pick up heavy metals and then smoke them as cigars without inhaling too much. also you can baste the fresh leaves in molasses and let it cure for chewing tobbacco and last but not least you can infuse tobbacco into cream and chocolate for exotic deserts that will restart any old smokers habits.
I dont really have any books on traditional medicine, I know It from an ethnobotanical, biochemical, spiritual apetite I have had my whole life.
What you should do is verse your self in all cultural traditional medicines as they peak your interest and learn what the lore is behind them and then research the active chemicals and all various methods of administering those medicines. Kinda of taking in the old and the new at once. Don`t throw out the weird stuff without thorough investigation either.
Another thing is ceremonies and all spiritual objects are considered medicine in native american culture not just potions, tintcures and brews. Now I can make a mean cactus tea that will kick your ass with half as much cactus as some dirty hippy and his shit will give you a bad trip to boot. But we all know that mine is better because of intent and conjuring of the entity within that plant.
Let the plants be you professor and hear them lecture what they have seen and about their hidden powers so you may unlock yours.
