Dagga is native to South Africa. It is smoked by the Hottentott tribes as an alternative to cannabis. Contains diterpenes.

According to Christian Ratsch's "Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants" this plant is very popular in the northern half of California.

The leaves, flowering petals and resin are smoked and produce a hypnotic focus. Striking red flowers make it a remarkable decorative plant. Likes sun and is fairly hardy once acclimated.
