No idea what the juices are for, I didn't see him using them. The petty cash you see is not what they pay him for 1-2 minutes of submersion in clouds of grass smoke, he's charging anywhere from $5 to $10 for this. No sure if I would entrust my being him either....

The fruit looks suitably rotten, and what are all the colourful liquids for? Are those few coins his total takings for the day? I wouldn't trust this healer one bit.

Do FDA need to check what you, guys, cook in the kitchen ?! I can confess that smoke from this grass is not innocent...

The bud looks smokable, but the leaves look like basil (maybe that is why my wife buys 10 lbs a week? and I thought it was for the restaurant).

What? You have a whole gallery on Mexico.

Yes, amigo, you can smoke the green bunch you see on the foreground. You just need to dry it up, and an effect is similar to hashish spiced pilaf. I will show "smoking" by this healer on the second page of the gallery which will be far more entertaining than the first one. Hey, where is you comment on the whole gallery, ah ? What amigos are for ?

Looks like 3 did, if you count animals.
Hi Eldar amigo. Looks like you had a great trip. And me stuck in boring usa!
Your images are always so will composed (like you) and colours are so well done.
ps; can you smoke any of that stuff???
