Baybean (Canavalia Maritima or Canavalia rosea) is a plant that has very little effect on its own. It may be an ingredient Spice. It is extremely good for mixing with other herbs, notably spice alternatives like fusion most of which are assumed to contain JWH-018. It also seemingly quadruples the effects of salvia and Diviner's Three (a blend whose base is salvia). All these reports must be taken with a grain of salt, because for a long time an interaction between Baybean and another herb was thought to be the reason for Spice's intense cannabis-like high, not the unreported cannabinoid agonist it contained.

Historically it has been used for many years, but not for intoxication. An infusion can be made with the crushed roots and rubbed over the skin for rheumatism, general pain, skin disorders, and colds. The beans produced by the bay bean are edible if the outer skin is removed from them and they are softened by boiling, although it is unknown and unlikely that eating them will have psychoactive effects.

Canavalia rosea is a species of flowering plant of the genus Canavalia in the pea family, Fabaceae, that has a pantropical distribution. Common names include Beach Bean, Bay Bean, Seaside Jack-bean, Coastal Jack-bean, and MacKenzie Bean.

Coastal Jack-bean is a trailing, herbaceous vine that forms mats of foliage. Stems reach a length of more than 6 m (20 ft) and 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in thickness. Each compound leaf is made up of three leaflets 5.1–7.6 cm (2.0–3.0 in) in diameter, which will fold themselves when exposed to hot sunlight. The flowers are purplish pink and 5.1 cm (2.0 in) long. The flat pods are 10.2–15.2 cm (4.0–6.0 in) long and become prominently ridged as they mature. The buoyancy of the seeds allows them to be distributed by ocean currents.[2]The plant seems to contain L-Betonicine.

This Canavalia Rosea is called by many names, such as Beach bean, Seaside bean, Coastal Jackbean, Bay bean and MacKenzie bean.


The Beach Bean is valued as a food source and was notable consumed by Captain James Cook and his crew during their voyage around the world in the years 1768 to 1771.

These seeds have been found in ancient sites like Oaxaca, Yucatan, and Peru, dating back from 300 B.C. to A.D. 900.The legumes and leaves are notorious for being used as a marijuana substitute.

The beach bean can be found in many seashores in the tropical areas all over the world. It also can be found in the coasts of central Florida, southern Florida peninsula, southern Texas and southern California. These commonly grow in a trailing patter on sand dunes, seaside cliffs and coastal strand.

The Canavalia Rosea is an herbaceous vine with thick and fleshy woody stems. It can grow up to 20 feet long and can have stems up to an inch thick. It branches out to form mats of semi-succulent leaves. These leaves fold up when exposed to the heat of the midday sun. The white, pink or mauve flowers that look like pea blossoms appear at during spring to early fall. It has flat pods that are usually 4 to 6 inches in length and are tough and woody when mature.

The beach bean will thrive in sandy soil conditions similar to that of its habitat, though it can also do well with other kinds of soil that has excellent drainage properties.

It prefers full sun and is drought tolerant. It will require regular pruning to be kept under control. It is propagated from seeds that have to be scarified before being sowed after the cool frosts are gone. The pods have to dry on the plant and seeds are collected by breaking the pod. Mother Nature propagates these seed by floating them in the water and carrying them with the ocean currents.

The beach bean is commonly used as ground cover for areas that have poor soil condition and not enough water. It is also used to stop soil erosion. Arid areas in the continents of Australia and Africa the beach bean as a biomass cover crop because of its rapid growth. The pods and seeds are edible, but mature seeds have to be roasted or boiled before being consumed as they are toxic when at their raw state.

It is well known to be an extremely strong potentiator of many herbs. However, it's use and the specifics of these interactions are not well documented.
JWH-018 and spice alternatives are greatly potentiated.
Kanna seems to mix well with baybean, although reports are uncommon.
Salvia and blends like Diviner's Three and Total Impact which contain Salvia Divornum have been reportedly quadrupled in effect.
Pedicularis has been sold in blends with baybean. It is unknown if this is an effective combination.

Bay Bean is a vine found in tropical and subtropical beach dunes throughout Mexico and parts of South America.

Baybean is a fairly little known ethnobotanical, but will surely become well-known very soon. Canavalia rosea is a potent alternative for other more popular smoking herbs, already popping up in several popular smoke blends.

The Bay Bean (Canavalia maritima) leaves we carry vary in shade from yellow, to light green and dark green.

Commonly known as beach bean, bay bean, seaside bean, coastal jackbean, or MacKenzie bean.
