Skeeter sells drugs. Well, not really. He sells Punk Ash – a legal tobacco additive made by burning the fungus Phellinus igniarius. The fungus causes wood decay and grows on the trunks of birch trees. You can smoke it and you can snort it, but most people chew it.

Mix it with your choice of chewing tobacco and you get Blackbull, Aaraq, Iq’mik and

Eskimo Cocaine – all names refer to the same sticky, black mixture. The latter name is a bit of a misnomer though. Instead of the rush you get from coke, side effects are more similar to your first drag or your first dip.
