About maconha brava (Zornia latifolia)

Zornia latifolia belongs to the legume family Fabaceae. It is a low-growing, spreading herb found predominantly in tropical regions of South America, particularly Brazil and the Caribbean, but also present in parts of North America and West Africa. The plant grows in open, disturbed land and forest margins, producing small yellow or orange flowers and characteristic narrow, paired leaflets. Its folk name in Brazil reflects a perceived botanical resemblance — without legal equivalence — to cannabis, referring primarily to the plant's traditional use as a smoked herb.

Traditional and cultural use

Indigenous peoples of Brazil and Mexico have traditionally used Zornia latifolia as a smoking herb, sometimes incorporating it into ritual and ceremonial contexts. In parts of Brazil, the plant has been used within communities as a legal smoking substitute, rolled and smoked alone or combined with other local herbs. Mazatec and other indigenous Mexican communities have also traditionally used the plant in ritual contexts. In the Caribbean and tropical South America, maconha brava appears in folk herbalism records alongside other regional botanicals used in smoking blends and herbal preparations.

Active compounds

• Indeterminate alkaloid fractions (under continued study)
• Flavonoids — including vitexin and isovitexin reported in related Zornia species
• Tannins and saponins

Extraction and potency

A 25x ratio means that 25 g of dried maconha brava leaf has been concentrated into 1 g of extract. Water and ethanol extraction captures the plant's soluble constituents, which are dried and milled to a fine, consistent powder. Each gram is substantially more botanically dense than an equivalent weight of raw leaf material.

How to use

As a tea:

• Dissolve 0.5–1 g of extract in 250 ml of hot water.
• Steep for 5 minutes and add honey to taste.

For use in a smoking blend: combine 0.2–0.5 g with neutral smoking herbs such as mullein or marshmallow leaf. Begin with the lower dosage end.

Pack size

This package contains 3 g of maconha brava extract 25x (Zornia latifolia), sealed in airtight packaging.
