Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Snus was in fact the last drug I sampled for inclusion in the final version of the book, an excerpt from which is below. It wasn’t exactly a rip-roaring success.
For the record, snus, which is historically popular in Sweden, originated from snuff in the early 18th century and is consumed sublabially. Currently, it is apparently used as a stimulant prior to games by a number of Premier League footballers. EXCERPT FROM THE DRUG USERS BIBLE Having a few hours to spare whilst in Copenhagen, I hopped over to Sweden specifically to sample snus at its global epicentre. On arrival I quickly found a tobacconist and asked for the most traditional and popular variety. I was provided with the following, which the proprietor described as “a gentleman’s original snus”: On leaving the shop I placed one of those packets between my gum and upper lip, and held it there for some minutes. It was hot and burning, and the taste, which ran down the back of my throat, wasn’t at all nice. I held on but it didn’t get any better. Five minutes in I was feeling a little sickly and dizzy, and had to expel it and sit down. There was stimulation present, but the icky feel was primary. On nine minutes I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. The dizziness was now worse, and the rather poorly background had not dissipated in the least. Did I get any sympathy from my patiently waiting colleague? Not exactly: I was told that I was an a$$ehole. This at least made me chuckle. The good news is that at twenty minutes I felt that I was on the road to recovery, even though I still felt ill and just wanted to curl up in a bed. After half an hour, although I hadn’t recovered I was well enough to walk again and continue with my day. This was definitely not one for me. It was, perhaps unsurprisingly, like a diluted re-run of my mapacho and rapé experiences. Note that I discerned no lag or after effects, either during the afternoon or the following day. If I have failed to do justice to this, please bear in mind that I am not a smoker (of tobacco). This was way too much for my disposition. Ref: www.DrugUsersBible.com |
