These highs may cause the same feelings as above but are most often not controllable. The drug or narcotic may cause unwanted effects such as addiction, mental unsuitability, health problems and sometimes death, as well as cost and the potential for loss of freedom if found to be illegal. Herbal Highs are obtained by introducing the natural or organic properties of plant matter into the body's system. This is much like introducing a drug or narcotic. The plant matter may be smoked, drank or taken in pill form.
Herbal highs create an experience of deep physical and emotional relaxation.
Herbal highs produce none of the toxic effects of chemicals and may actually have the capacity to be an effective antidepressant without impairing mental health. Herbal highs are a health-conscious alternative for people who don't want to destroy their bodies with other dangerous drugs. They provide a experimental realm to those who might feel pressured to use illegal drugs. A main ingredient in the popular Herbal Ecstasy is ephedrine, also sometimes found in asthma products. In Herbal Ecstasy it's not being used to alleviate asthma but is mixed with other herbs and used to speed up the heart in an attempt to create a high.
