I just watched the 1954 version of the movie "Robinson Crusoe" starring Dan O'Herlihy. When he was ill, he put a hand-ground tobacco leaf into a liquid (water?) and drank it. Is there a therapeutic reason for doing thata or is it just early Hollywood? Side note: When I was quite young, I tried my first chew. The older boys told me to swallow the juice it would make me high. Oh, it did alright, about a foot above the commode.
