Horse tail is a common weed that grows on the open plains in the northwest. Travelers will often find them in patches along the wagon-rutted trails between towns. The would-be flower portion of the plant is actually a collection of fibrous stands that contain small amounts of caffeine. At first, travelers would pull these strands out and chew them along their journey to help
stay alert when
exhausted. Over the
years after finding out
this peculiar property,
some people have
developed a habit and
keep large wads on their
person and will buy
them from special
dealers in markets who
have made a business in
collecting and flavoring
the wads. Those who
chew regularly will find
their teeth and mouth
will slowly become
stained a dull red.
