    On behalf of my fellow Papua New Guineans🇵🇬
    I would like to thank you for traveling all this way to one of the many remote places in my country. PNG is home to many different species of plants and animals. Survival in our rainforests is not for the faint hearted. And I'm proud to see that you've done this without any proper equipment/gear and that you're ok. Thank you for sharing your experience with PNG to the world 😇🇵🇬❤️

    The active ingredient of the Betel nut is arecoline, a stimulant alkaloid (among others that are present) that stimulates the release of adrenaline, thus giving the numbing and euphoric sensation, and also gives a similar effect to nicotine due to its structure, hence the buzz feeling. It's crazy to know that an estimated 10% of the world population chews these all the time. Big props to Les for trying this!

    • @TheKalihiMan
      @TheKalihiMan Рік тому +1

      I live in Hawaiʻi, where recent migrants from Micronesia chew betel nut in almost this exact same fashion (a lot of people even grow areca palms in their yard). Out of curiousity, I tried it once in my late teens when I was still too young to buy alcohol or tobacco, and it gave me mild lightheadedness in exchange for chewing one of the most bitter substances I’ve ever tasted. That being said, I can only imagine what it would be like to chew it after multiple days on an empty stomach.

      I live in Taiwan and betel nut is everywhere here. It's very similar to your first cigarette, a hot rushing feeling with a mild change in consciousness. It's also absolutely disgusting and I have no idea how anyone can get hooked on it. You see guys here cramming 5 or 6 into their mouths at traffic light stops and riding off looking like their chewing a tennis ball. Then of course there is that whole scene surrounding the girls that sell it... :-/

Which has zero to do with this one video. Infact you are doing the same thing on UA-cam it's just that no one watches you enough for you to make any money. Haters gonna hate. Preachers and missionaries uplift they don't hate. If anything what he did do was bring attention to there existence because before Les I never knew anything about them, or you for that matter. Who knows maybe I was meant to meet you through Les, god does some interesting things sometimes, and instead of sensing love I sense nothing but toxic attitude. Like I said you just turned me off to what you claim to live by. Peace! Done with you

      They don't make you trip, the main active chemicals are all stimulants, not hallucinogens. Similar in strength to a higher dose of nicotine. Just has a higher effect on Les because he has little to no drug tolerance. A pack a day smoker would barely even notice the effects of betel nut. (Other than the numbing qualities) It is a very weak drug overall.
