The Legal High – Smoking Reviews & Legal Highs

Since the ban on products such as Charge, White and Mojo, we have all been waiting for a new party powder to live up to previous expectations.

Dust could well be that powder. It may not be as strong as any of the previous ones, (and at half the price per gram of charge, you wouldn’t expect it to be) but it is much superior to all the others that are currently available.

A few snorts of this from my snuff bullet and I’m buzzing away nicely! As I said, it’s not as strong as Charge was so if you want the same kind of buzz you have do a bit more, but if you want a really good, sociable and alert sensation, then I reckon you can’t go too far wrong with Dust 1G.

This certainly isn’t one to do if you plan on getting any sleep. Doing Dust by itself I was awake for hours with no chance of sleep at all! I also found it to be quite good as an appetite suppressant, so if you want to look your best, maybe give this one a little consideration!

I actually tried cutting this with a bit of Snow Blow and I really liked the results. I felt awake and alert for a good hour, and just kept topping up as and when I wanted it. It was not as strong as Dust neat on its own, but it meant that I could be up and awake when I wanted to be, and if I stopped taking it I was much more able to sleep.

I’m sure some people will be disappointed with Dust as it really isn’t as strong as the old blends, but if you are looking for a nice, controlled buzz – one that won’t leave you flat on your back but one that will leave you feeling happy, sociable and awake – then Dust could well be the party powder for you. It certinaly is the one for me!

I’m not usually one for taking snuff; I’d much rather smoke or pop a pill. This has got nothing to do with not wanting to snort, and everything to do with the fact that I usually just cannot be bothered with the hassle that snorting entails. The whole business of sorting out a line on a clean flat surface, finding a tube or making one out of a rolled up note… not for me.

So it is with people like me in mind that Snuff Bullets were invented! With bullets you can administer a perfect sized dose of your chosen snuff (my favourite at the moment being Dust, but I’ll go into that another time!) whenever or wherever you happen to be.

I’ve noticed that there are loads of different kinds of bullets out there at the moment, but I’m really happy with my purple Blizzard. It’s as easy as ABC to use; just fill it up and away you go. Using my Blizzard I can take a hit whenever I want, and most importantly of all, it looks pretty (hey, no-one ever said I wasn’t allowed to be feminine every once in a while!)

I do find that if I’m out on a massive night I may need to take extra provisions with me, but my bullet is so easy to refill that this isn’t a problem, however if I just want a little hit during the day it carries an ideal amount to keep me going.

There are loads of other bullets available; I’m looking at getting the Posh Metal Bullet at the moment, as it is a little more heavy duty than my Blizzard, and I’m pretty certain that one of these days I’m going to end up doing something stupid that will break it, but for now it fulfils my needs nicely.

We all know that music creates mood, and mood can be very conducive to your experience when taking a high. No-one in their right mind would take an e then stick Radiohead on their i-pod, for example!

I was discussing past experiences with a friend the other day, and relived the first time I ever took magic mushrooms, whilst they were still legal to buy over the counter at headshops. At the fore-front of my mind when thinking about that evening was how I listened to Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and really got it for the first time, and how I quite simply couldn’t imagine my life without Jimi Hendrix.

For those of you who have never taken a hallucinogen before, let me explain. The world outside where you are ceases to exist. If you are in a room with 4 other people, they become the only people you know. You cannot remember what it was like to not be on that trip. There is no past, no future; you can only deal in the present. You would, therefore, think nothing of having the same song on repeat for an hour at a time. Which is precisely what happened to me when my Best of Jimi Hendrix CD reached ‘Hey Joe.’ I had, at that moment, never heard anything that spoke to me so deeply and fundamentally, that I had to listen to it again and again and again. (After hearing it maybe four or five times I was beginning to lose interest. It was only accidentally leaning on the remote control and taking it off repeat that enabled the CD to continue.)

After the magic of Jimi ended, the CD changed to Sgt Pepper by The Beatles, and my God. Wow. I have always considered myself a big Beatles fan, but listening to that album whilst tripping was an incredibly profound experience for me, as I felt that I finally understood what Messrs Lennon and McCartney were trying to say back then, in the LSD fuelled days of 1967. I wish I could explain in sober words how I felt at that incredible moment during ‘A Day In The Life’ when the orchestra builds to a crescendo; all I can say is that at that moment it felt as if my whole life had been leading to me listening to that song, and that once the orchestra ended the meaning of life itself would be revealed.

Was it? I cannot say for sure. By that time I had noticed a Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow poster, and he was standing on a dock, his hair blowing in the wind, waves crashing behind him and flames erupting in the air, and at that moment nothing else mattered….

You would have to have had your head in the clouds over the last year or two to have missed the debate about legal highs. The government’s approach, as always, has been to ban, ban, ban, and not even bother asking questions later. But is this really the best way?

The fact is, since time immemorial, human beings have been looking for ways to alter their consciousness, and mind altering substances have been used in spiritual and shamanic ceremonies ever since man first came down from the trees and started walking on two legs. Why should our ingrained primal heritage be repressed purely because we now live in condos rather than caves? It won’t be, and many people seek to alter their consciousness by the socially acceptable and legal drug, alcohol. Even the uber-health conscious, who would never take anything into their system, may become addicted to a natural high that is produced by the brain when we exercise. In mountainous areas, where the air is thin, one who is not used to the high levels of oxygen may get high from a simple walk. Should we therefore ban alcohol, exercise and holidays in the Pyrenees?

The answer is, of course not. So why do the government and media immediately begin to sweat as soon as the words ‘legal high’ come within earshot? In recent times there have been some tragic deaths connected to the use of various legal highs. Notice the use of the words ‘connected to.’ Not ‘caused by.’ ‘Connected to.’ Very different connotations although the government seems to fail to make the distinction.  Take mephedrone, for example. A person died following taking mephedrone and the media jumped on this like flies, widely reporting that a young life was claimed by a legal drug. However, toxicology tests reported that they actually died due to “cardiac arrest following broncho-pneumonia which resulted from streptococcal A infection.” No mention of mephedrone or even any kind of drug taking at all.

No-one is saying that these deaths are not tragic, and in some cases not unavoidable, but it is wrong to blame legal highs when there is no conclusive proof that they were the cause. It would be impossible to stop people experimenting with drugs, and as legal highs get banned new ones with different formulas will follow. Surely a better solution would be to fully and properly research the effects of ones that are currently available without the scare-mongering and scape-goating that currently takes place, and allow us, as human beings, the right to alter our own consciousness as we see fit.

One of the most common types of natural highs that nature has made available to humans is ginseng. Grown mainly in China, it is one of 11 distinct slow-growing perennial plants, belonging to the Panax genus, that have fleshy roots. Ginseng can only be found in northern China, Korea and eastern Siberia in the cooler climates.

Ginseng is generally taken orally as an aphrodisiac, a stimulant, an adaptogen, for sexual dysfunction in men and for the treatment of type II diabetes. It can be consumed fresh either whole or sliced, or if it is bought dried it can be used in drinks. While the leaf is consumable, it is the root that is the main source of the legal highs associated with this amazing herb.

Ginseng is one of the most common ingredients found in popular energy drinks and teas around the world. However, many scientists argue that there are contradictory results as to the medicinal benefits of ginseng. Despite this, there is ample proof from centuries of use that ginseng is a great way to give your body a little bit of extra energy whenever you need it.

Legal highs are becoming more common as people discover new plants with stimulant or psychedelic properties, which can induce a euphoric state or stimulate the body in some way.

Ginseng is one of the most common herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is commonly seen in the western world as a dietary supplement for increased energy.

It was a celebration over the weekend; a mate’s birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with a little splash of bubbly. By this, of course, I mean Pink Champagne; a legal high from Retro Pills.

I took one at about 9 and after about 40 minutes I could really feel myself coming up, and I was experiencing all the usual light tingling effects that you would expect with such a product. After about an hour I was getting mild rushes and after another hour I felt completely unable to stay still.

A couple of mates had also taken Pink Champagne, which I am grateful for as we were so ‘in tune’ with each other, however, one of my mates was also drinking, and suffice it to say that they were pretty messy the next day. My advice? If you take Pink Champagne read the advice on the label and DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL!

Anyway, those of us sensible, and restrained, enough to not go on a binge were awake for hours, danicng, giggling, and generally feeling really rather fantastic. I did consider taking a second one at around three in the morning, as the effects were starting to wear off by this point, but decided against it as I had to be somewhere the next day, and thought that meeting your partner’s parents while still buzzing like a bumblebee was not a wholesome idea.

It took me a while to get to sleep, but next day there was hardly any comedown, just really tired (which could have something to do with the dancing the night away.)

All in all, a great experience, but definately not one to mix with alcohol!

I thought I’d try something that is completely natural with no added ingredients, chemical or otherwise. I didn’t want anything too intense, just something relaxing, calming, and if there were any euphoric side effects, so much the better!

Blue Lotus seemed to fit that description nicely, so I ordered a couple of packets to experiment with.

At first I tried rolling it up and smoking it in a joint. Probably not the most effective use of my time, as I later discovered! Tasted nice, and was as relaxing as any normal smoke is, but there were no outstanding effects from this.

However, I later found that soaking it in a glass of wine works wonders!  I soaked around 10g in a large glass of wine for several hours. After drinking the wine (and eating the soggy leaves and flowers – doesn’t taste good but I didn’t want anything to go to waste ^_^) I noticed the effects starting to creep on me pretty rapidly; after only about 20 minutes I was incredibly relaxed with quite a nice sense of euphoria kicking in. I am told that with higher doses and longer soaking times, this sense of euphoria can be mildy hallucinogenic, so maybe I’ll have a little experiment with that!

Anyway, in the meantime this was a really wonderful way to relax after a highly stressful day. Also had some rather lovely aphrodisiac side effects – which I don’t think my partner was too unhappy about And with no come down at all, this was probably one of my favourite legal highs. I’ll definately be getting Blue Lotus again.

I came across this on a legal high site and was really intrigued. It’s not a pill, it’s not a smoke, and it’s not something you snort; it is, in fact, a small shot of a drink that alleges to both increase your energy whilst levelling your mind. So it both gives you energy and chills you out? Hmm… Intriguing indeed….
Oddly enough, that was exactly what it did!

I took the whole bottle just before a party. It was pleasant tasting, a little bit cherry like, but with a very slightly medicinal taste that reminded me of being a kid again. Why don’t they make medicines for adults that taste like kids’ ones, huh?

Anyway, after about 45 minutes I felt myself really starting to wake up. There were no buzzing feelings at all, and I didn’t have any kind of edginess that you can get with some highs, but I felt completely alert and awake.  When all my mates started to arrive I felt really happy and loving towards each and every one of them; totally at ease with the world, totally relaxed, but completely awake as well.

With the party in full flow, the drinks also started flowing. This can sometimes be a killer for any highs you’ve taken. They often say not to mix alcohol with any kind of high, as it will take away from the effect, but with Serenity Mood Enhancer I found just the opposite. After a couple of glasses of wine I was still completely awake and alert, and not feeling in the slightest groggy from the alcohol. All the drink did was make me even happier and very giggly.

I was completely awake until about 3 in the morning (unlike a lot of my mates – why didn’t they take some too?! ) , and I had taken Serenity at about half 7 in the evening. By 4 I was able to sleep, and there was no difficulty in drifting off at all; again with some highs you can be awake right through to the next day. On waking up there was no hangover, and no comedown at all.

All in all, I thought this was a great product and I wouldn’t hesitate at all in taking it again!

A legal high is similar in many ways to the high one obtains from taking a narcotic substance. However, unlike illegal drugs such as marijuana or ecstasy, these legal versions are generally considered to be safe and are therefore perfectly legal.

Be aware that there is a wide range of herbs available around the world and different jurisdictions operate under different regulations, so what is legal in one country might not be legal in another. If in doubt, contact the nearest government affiliated website or office and find out for certain whether or not what you are considering taking is legal.

Getting high with herbal drugs is a new fad, because it is a safer alternative to using dangerous drugs. There are a number of herbal pills that can give you the similar effects to speed, psychedelics, ecstasy and more. These can give you the desired effect without being as taxing on your body and while being completely legal.

Herbal highs work by introducing a natural or organic property of a plant into your body’s system in the same way any drug does, and can be imbibed either through smoking, drinking or taking a pill.

The primary benefit of herbal highs over most drugs is the fact that they are a legal high and are therefore relatively safe. Legal highs are clean without any come-down effects and since they are non-narcotic there is no risk of addiction.
