The inner bark of this plant, 

 most commonly called 

 kinnikinnic in the West, 

 was formerly much smoked 

 as tobacco. It was often 

 mixed with ordinary to- 

 bacco when the latter was 

 procurable. Its effect was 

 mentioned by one Gosiute 

 as being not a little like 

 that of opium. The wood 

 was sometimes used in the 

 making of snow-shoes.
