Hmm... that's a toughie. It's unlike any others he's had. You're buzzing, energetic, yet relaxed and calm at the same time. Perhaps it's closest to ephedrine, but much nicer because of the calmness and warmness... it made SWIM feel like hugging someone. It's definitely nicer than kratom. And I bet SWIM could get higher if he put more than 3g of powder in his mouth next time!

The peak high doesn't last long at all... no wonder they chew it constantly.

The tip of his tongue hurts now, like how it would if you'd burnt it on a hot drink... a REALLY hot one. Parts of his mouth are a bit sore too, like if they'd been burnt by hot cheese on a pizza. Eating dinner was unpleasant, too tingly.
Don't know if that's from the edible lime he used or the betel nut. Don't understand how they chew this all day- maybe their mouths toughen up, or it was the edible lime because in many places they chew it in a lime leaf instead (although in other places I read they do use a lime paste of some desciption).

Definitely needs an extraction for easy administering and to get rid of the burning (and cancer risk, black teeth and mouthful of spit!).
It would be lovely as a breath freshener spray, because you could then dose yourself up often without looking dodgy. The sublingual uptake of the powder was near instantaneous, a few minutes at most.

Apparently the active chemical is arecoline Arecoline - Wikipedia another thing that comes up if you google it says that they are trying to make cocane analogues from arecoline 8)

[QUOTE="ohayoco, post: 3249439, member: 1093"] Hmm... that's a toughie. It's unlike any others he's had. You're buzzing, energetic, yet relaxed and calm at the same time.
