⚠️ Psychoactive
The app never suggests a psychoactive plant, and no milestone asks you to take one.
Do not consume it. Nicotine is highly addictive. Chewed, tobacco causes cancers of the mouth, esophagus and pancreas, heart disease and strokes; during pregnancy, it raises the risk of stillbirth, premature birth and low birth weight.
If you feel unwell after taking it, even several hours later, call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or 911.
