Ate raw tobacco leaf because I wanted to know what it tastes like. It does not taste good, so glad I know that now. Anyway turns out raw tobacco leaves contain a lot of nicotine and are considered "very poisonous". I have 0 tolerance to nicotine. It was just a small piece of the leaf but I'm almost definitely going to be nic sick for a while. Called poison control and they confirmed with me the point at which I should visit a hospital.
I have some hope in the knowledge that the few times I've smoked nicotine containing products I felt absolutely nothing even at high doses. I pray this means nicotine doesn't affect me as strongly as it does the average person and I don't get nic sick.
I already feel weird so probably not. I mostly just wanted to vent my misfortunes but if anyone has advice I'd be happy to listen lmao.
Edit: looks like I'm gonna be alright, I feel very strange but it's been over an hour and no nausea so I think I'm ok
taking the polar opposite from correct takeaway in that i kind of want to know what the bitterest of bitters might be now i wouldn't like swallow it tho don't worry. but also tobacco don't grow for like 300 leagues so it's not like i'll ever have the opportunity lol
Make sure the amount you chew is smaller than a quarter (about the size of what I had) and probably don't chew it any longer than it takes to break the surface and taste it. Hell you could even crush it with something and then lick it to get the flavor without being too affected.
