Well , I ' ve saved this plant for the weekend nights and done what I was supposed to do . The first time I brewed the tea and smoked the cigarette . I did n't hear my heartbeat or anything major and I had trouble getting to sleep so I ended up having a glass of Kava ( the crushed root of a plant from the Pacific Islands which is prepared into a beverage which gets you a unique type of drunk ) which is also supposed to potentiate dreams . I did have some vivid and bizarre dreams that night but nothing to write home about . Last night I decided I 'd try swallowing a heaped tablespoon of wet leaves instead of drink the brewed tea ( as suggested in my book ) .

Question: Why did he swallow a heaped teaspoon of wet leaves .
Answer: He had already drank enough tea for that weekend night .Drinking too much tea causes him heartbeat issues at night .The leaves have a stronger affect if you ingest them directly into your system .None of the above choices .
