Speaking of Betelguise.....

Who here chews betel nut?

It's only the most commonly used recreational drug on the planet.

Oddly - here in the US it's virtually unknown.

Never tried it myself.

Probably only for lack of finding some.

Tried coca leaves in Peru. Friendly stranger showed me the trick.

I tried it once when I was in Taiwan. The woman I bought it from was one of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen! But that is just how things are over there. When you see the fan lights you can be sure there is a young woman slicing up binglang and adding some lime or some other acidic slicing to enhance the experience. I chewed one up and it was ok; kind of sweet but I didn't get any effect, to speak of, that was more interesting than drinking a mt. dew. I saw others who truly got off on the stuff; them chewing their cud like, bindle of smashed binglang and splacking out a lake of red to make a spot on the road like a murder scene. I guess if you just fiend chewed it, the effect would build. The people I saw doing that had a look like someone who had tooted up some fine coke. So I threw out the rest of the box because fuck that shit.
