Is this shit legal in the US, I tried it last night from these islander dudes. After they convinced me that it wasnt crack, I ended up puking my guts out for 5 hours straight O.o

one should be careful when buying the nuts... sometimes people wash them in dirty water. so watch out for that or be prepared to have diarrhea =D

I'm now in Java, Indonesia and I'm seriously missing my daily routine of chewing betelnut with my PNG counterparts.......... I think It's more like a mild social drug......damn I miss social chewing!!
