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

A less than fun life lesson. Thanks for sharing it with us too, I would have never known not to eat a tobacco leaf, and eating stuff like that is absolutely something I would do, so you definitely saved me this mistake too.

Well you aren't missing out on anything lol, genuinely one of the most bitter things I've ever consumed and I've taste tested a lot of plants. This is my first poisoning though and of course it was as a result of my hubris.
