any one tried betel nut

I've tried it a few times with some friends--probably only three or four experiences. The first couple of times it was a nice, relaxing yet stimulating buzz; it was similar to a Thai strain of K@ with less euphoria. The last time, however, I got terribly over-stimulated and jittery. It was most likely the poly-stimulant use at the time that was at fault rather than the nut being inconsistent, though. It's worth a shot if you're looking for a different kind of stimulation or to switch up your morning ritual.

I have tried it a few times and was fond of the experiences. Moderately stimulating for me but makes my mouth yellowish-orange. From what I understand it is addictive so I'd suggest using it sparingly.

I chewed fresh betel nut all the time while I was in the Solomon Islands. It reminds me of the initial effects of strong coffee. Melanesians stand around for hours chewing betel nut and just chatting. It's a very sociable drug.



That being said, I wouldn't waste money ordering betel nut online or looking for betel nut powders. To get the proper effects you have to chew it with smashed coral powder and certain kinds of leaves of the pepper family.
