> What other plant kills you just from chewing it? There's plenty. They're just not common in western cultures. Khat causes oral cancer, for example, but outside of Africa and parts of west Asia it's basically non-existent as a drug. Chewing areca nuts wrapped in betel leaves can also cause cancer in the oral region, but is only commonly consumed in south-east Asia and largely unknown in the rest of the world. And these are just examples of plants that are used recreationally/in cultural ritual - certain herbs and plenty of plants in general will kill you outright if you consume too much of them or eat/drink the wrong thing while doing so.
