uses
Used for: Chewed regularly during fieldwork on Sumba
Praised: Pleasant and makes you feel good, though not hallucinogenic
vs: Compared to smoking too many cigars in a row
"They would regularly, habitually chew what's called betel nut... and this is mildly narcotic. I consumed it regularly when I was on Sumba in the 1970s. It was pleasant. It turned my teeth black as it does with the local people."
