It makes one wonder just why are the drugs like marijuana banned in the first place. Marijuana itself is pretty harmless, it’s got very mild side effects and it was proven that you’d need to smoke something like 10kg’s of it in three minutes for it to reach lethal dose. Compare that to some of the synthetic “legal highs” that are circling the markets these days and you’ve got some really staggering conclusions – there would be fewer deaths and there’d be less money spent fighting drugs if a simple drug like marijuana was legal. There’s the arguement that marijuana is an entry drug that leads to all sorts of addictions on harder drugs, but those are pretty much baseless claims, and if people had free access to such a simple and mild drug, the demand for hard things would be dramatically reduced.

Now, legal drugs themselves can be as mild and harmless as marijuana, but they can be pretty nasty as well. Lately there have been lots of report of legal highs coming in the form of bath salts, soaps or materials like that, products that simply haven’t been banned yet because they haven’t been officially recognized by the drug control enforcement agencies like illegal substances. That is changing, of course, but while the law enforcing bodies are slow and rigid, the legal highs market is flexible and quick to respond to any ban and any law being enforced, producing a new generation of legal high products for their customers.

There are herbal highs to be found as well, with crops like wild lettuce, hops, dill and even catnip – all of these herbs, if treated properly, can get you a result that you’re looking for in the form of a legal high, and it’s nothing dangerous, just a fake feeling of being high. These are mild drugs and you’re not likely to do anything stupid under their influence, but it’d still be much better if you don’t use these drugs in the first place.

All in all, although you may not be breaking the letter of the law, spirit of the law says that mind altering drugs are bad. If you feel like getting your high on, doing so hidden in the basement may get you some temporary relief, but if you feel that it is your right to use light recreational drugs, then show it. Vote, join movements that support drugs, donate to their causes and so on – it’ll have much more effect then you using potentially dangerous “legal high”.

There’s a wide variety of natural sources that you can turn to for your legal herbal high, plants that you can buy or grow however you want. Catnip is one that is pretty easy to discover, we already feed it to the cats to make them hyperactive, and the drug has similar (although much weaker) effect on humans when used properly. Hops (used for making beer) can also be treated and formed in a cigar that gives you a pretty good high. Sassafras, nutmeg, parsley, wild lettuce – all of these herbs can be made into a joint with a bit of an effort.

It’s not as mindless as taking marijuana, it does take some skill and knowledge to make use of these herbs in such a way. It’s best recommended that you either have some moderate to advanced knowledge in herbology before you start making them yourself into a joint or to have someone skilled do so for you. They can be bought in the form that is already premade for use as a recreational legal drug, but they are a bit more expensive then – you can really save a lot of money if you just learn to do it yourself.

Now, being high is all nice and well, especially if it’s an all natural high with no synthetic chemicals involved in the process, but that doesn’t mean you’re exempt of laws just because you’ve found a way to get yourself high with no legal consequences. You’re still the one responsible for your actions and for what you do in the state of drug altered consciousness, so make sure you’re in a safe environment and that you’re not involved in anything potentially dangerous. Don’t drive, operate heavy machinery – in fact, it would be best to celebrate the fact that you’ve tricked the system with your friends or alone at a private place – that way nobody gets hurt and you’re not in anyone’s way.

Of course, some of the side effects of illegal highs can be found with these herbal highs as well, so make sure you’ve got lots of snack by hand for when the munchies kick in!

Herbal highs are natural, easily accessible highs that are legal in many countries, including the United States.

These completely natural and safe highs are derived from herbs and herbal blends, using extract only sometimes. If you have ever tried a herbal high, then you certainly know just how good a natural high feels. This kind of legal and safe high has nothing to do with the toxic effects of alcohol, or the dangerous side effects of many illegal drugs. In this article we will outline some of the things you should be aware of before you consider obtaining a natural high.

First of all, don’t get confused with the name. Herbs are not tobacco or Marijuana, and they certainly do not produce the same kind of high as them.

Every one of the legal herbs is different, with different characteristics and flavor. Some of the smoother herbs can be ground into powder and smoked, but this is not the case with all of them, since many of the herbs come in the form of pills that are digested easily.

When you begin smoking a herbal high, make sure you do it sporadically and in small amounts, just so you can get your body used to this new idea. It will also help you decide whether you like the flavor and effects.

You should also bear in mind that some herbs for smoking can be as addictive as nicotine. In case you want to smoke legal herbs as a substitute for tobacco or nicotine, know that you could also develop a habit, however, smoking herbs is a lot better for you than smoking tobacco, and you will gradually kick the tobacco out of your system.

You should also make sure to check everything you can before purchasing legal herbs. When you get them, read the label to ensure there are no preservatives or otherwise harmful additives. If you are smoking, never buy any herb blend that contains Kava or other bark/root herbs, since these are horrible to smoke, as they are not smooth.  Also try to avoid Salvia, which might have severe hallucinogenic effects.

Naturally, it is self-explanatory why you should not be using legal herbs if you have any serious health conditions, or during (or shortly after) pregnancy, since the effect of herbal highs on babies is unknown. Make sure never to drive or engage in potentially difficult tasks while under effect of herbal drugs.
