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!

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.

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.

The second time I took Snow Blow I was on my way to a club with a mate and the two of us got a bit carried away and did nearly 2 packets between us before we went out. Well, I was definitely high, no doubt about that, but I could feel that I had done too much – I had the whole ‘what’s happening next?’ syndrome for a while – couldn’t totally relax, but then had a few drinks and felt great. Probably made a bit of a tit of myself on the dance floor, but that’s nothing unusual. I’ve done worse! We had one random EX1 pill on us that we shared in a drink as well, which didn’t do much, but you are supposed to take one or two each of those things. Anyway, we stayed on our feet all night and got chatting with some interesting random people, as you do, and just felt very upbeat the whole time. There was a bit of a downside though – I got home around 3am and just could not sleep. Took a good couple of hours for me to drop off which was really frustrating.

So I learned my lesson from that and now I just take it easy and have a little bit at a time. That ‘s the good thing about Snow Blow – you can measure it so that you only have as much as you need. I don’t need too much to stay alert and motivated. If it was just me taking it, one packet would probably last me 2 mellow nights. So, it’s a cheap deal for not bad results!

When the government apparently decided that we were having far too much fun without contributing to illegal drugs rings, they removed all our favourite, harmless legal smokes from all the headshops in the UK. Wankers. Why do they spend so much time demonizing the average Joe who’s quietly enjoying himself when there is so much going wrong out there, what with real criminals running the country and all…

Anyway, I didn’t intend to write a political piece on social injustice – it just gets my goat! I actually wanted to let you all know how awesome this new Smoke 2 is (full name Smoke 2 Joosey). It comes in a packet that looks just like the old Smoke packet, with the Smoke legal incense flame logo on the front. So what’s different about it? Not the effects, that’s for sure. I got myself pleasantly mellowed out for several hours on just one Smoke 2 Joosey spliff. All the benefits are the same – the lovely relaxed, buzzy feeling, but not totally mashed up. No paranoia or any of that shit. So I don’t actually know what ingredients have changed, and with results like that I don’t really care to be honest. I’m just pleased to find something to fill the gap.
I tend to put in about the same amount of Smoke 2 Joosey in a spliff as I used to put weed. It has a pretty strong effect and, for me, it lasts a whole lot longer than the effects of weed. If I have a couple of Smoke 2 Joosey joints before bed, I often wake up in the morning still feeling a bit spacey and floaty. In a good way!

Smoke 2 Joosey is a really good social smoke. When I’ve got a group of mates round, or just chilling with my better half, this stuff goes down a treat. We have great conversations, listen to tunes and have a proper laugh. I gotta admit, there came a time when weed wasn’t doing this for us any more – it just killed the mood and the conversation. But Smoke 2 Joosey does the opposite – really conducive to interaction as well as relaxation. What more can I say? I am definitely converted, and so glad we haven’t had to wave goodbye to this wonderful stuff just yet.

If, like me, you no longer want to line the pockets of dodgy drug dealers (OK, they ‘re not all dodgy, but you know what I mean – when you try to trace it back, you never really know where you’re money’s going) then legal smokes are the perfect choice. Surely the government should be applauding us, not penalising us?!?

Grrrrrrr for the government, but yay for the makers of Smoke 2 Joosey legal smoke!

Spice is a new herbal blend being sold legally in shops throughout the UK. It claims to be a legal substitute for cannabis. Only once you’ve tried it can you can appreciate how true this is!

The ingredients of Spice are 100% herbal and natural. It is the combination and the precise ratio of these ingredients that produce such a potent and pleasing drug. Users tend to smoke Spice in joints with a bit of tobacco, just like cannabis. Unlike cannabis, it takes a little longer for the hit to take effect, but once it does, it’s a very beautiful feeling. And it lasts for ages. AND you can smoke it in the pub or on the street without the worry of being arrested!

Similarly to cannabis, users are treated to heightened sensory experiences – music and colours come alive, sense of movement and touch is magnified. Spice also increases creativity and philosophical thought. It certainly gets you high and very relaxed at the same time. Of course there are some differences in the psychoactive effects of Spice compared to cannabis. These are: no paranoia, no monging out, ability to carry out any tasks you feel like doing, ability to sustain conversation.

So, to get a real idea of what Spice is all about – take cannabis, take out all the bad bits and hey presto, that’s Spice!

There are a lot of people around who no longer enjoy cannabis because the negative effects have begun to outweigh the good effects (especially with chemically enhanced strains like skunk) but they’d still like to indulge a social smoke from time to time. Spice is the answer to this and already, hundreds of people have converted to it and regularly buy from retailers.

Spice is nice! And so’s the price! Give it a go – you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Spice is manufactured in the UK.

Neuro Blasts really are something else. I wasn’t planning to take anything that night – just a few beers would do, but when I got home my mates said they’d found these Neuro Blast things in Soho and had already taken some. They insisted that I took one to be on the same level as them and they were certainly enjoying themselves. So, without too much deliberation, I necked one with a strong vodka and red bull. We’d bought tickets to go to the roller-disco at Bagley’s in King’s Cross (their choice – not mine!) and it was a true roller-coaster ride, I can tell you!

A short while later, I was dressed in my best fairy outfit (I’m a girl, not a transvestite) and I was well on my way. I was chatting away like no-one’s business and felt positively chirpy. I’ve never had so much fun on the way to catch a South-Eastern train. Everything was hilarious. It seemed to take forever to get there and it’s only a 10-minute walk. But that didn’t matter – I was enjoying all of it.

Well, the train journey up to town was certainly more entertaining than I’d expected it to be. There were four of us at this point and we couldn’t stop cracking jokes and leaping around. The other passengers seemed utterly bewildered but amused at the same time. It’s strange because I didn’t notice any particular turning point where I “came up” on these pills – it just seemed to creep up on me very gradually. But there was no denying it – I was high. I felt happy, witty, energised and absolutely absorbed by whatever it was we were doing. I made the mistake of taking my digital camera and I couldn’t stop taking pictures. There are pictures of us on the platform, on the train, getting off the train – everyone could tell we were off our faces. But when I looked at the photos afterwards, there was none of that saucer-eyed thing going on that you get from ecstasy, so Neuro Blasts are slightly better for being in public!

We went to the pub to meet some more mates who were coming to Bagleys. I hadn’t stopped grinning since we left. It was really easy to get talking to people even though I’d never met most of them before. And I didn’t get totally monged on the Neuro Blast or so loved up that I was talking shit. I was just being myself but a lot sharper and happier.

There were loads more photos in the pub. And everyone had to wear my fairy wings. One of the guys – Gaz – who’d also taken Neuro Blast – couldn’t let go of them and ended up wearing them most of the night.

After an hour in the pub to warm up, we were walking along some streets, trying to find the club and I was compelled to take pictures of some industrial cranes on a building site…! They were very significant to me at the time. We got really lost, even though Bagley’s was just around the corner. But we didn’t care – we were having a ball, just wandering around the streets of Kings Cross and accosting random strangers and taking their pictures! There was a big crowd of us by this time and everyone was my friend. I could have walked along those streets all night and stayed happy. And time seemed to stretch on, and on, and on, and on…

I thought it was at least 3am before we got to the club and wondered if they would let us in ‘cos we were so late. But it hadn’t even reached 11pm!

Eventually we got in. I lasted about 1 hour on the dance floor and fell over at least once every 2 minutes. (I’m not a skater!) I don’t think the serious roller-skaters were very impressed at all. And the four of us who’d taken Neuro Blast just kept drinking and drinking and drinking. And stupid stuff too. Quadruple vodkas and Red Bull. Not my usual thing at all, but it was just too easy to do at the time.

After a couple of hours, a few of us decided to go home and carry on the night there, cos we were just getting in the way of all the pro skaters. We chatted all the way back – this took several night busses – and then got home, drank some more, chatted some more and suddenly it was 7am… 12 solid hours of mayhem and hype!

I would definitely recommend Neuro Blast. But 2 warnings: Firstly, be prepared for a long, long night – these things can deceive you! Start with one and just see how you feel a couple of hours later. Secondly, try not to drink too much. I can handle my drink, but combined with the dehydrating effects of the Neuro Blast, this did lead to quite a nasty head the next day!

As usual with legal highs, you gotta be sensible – take your time and know your limits.

Neuro Blasts are BZP free, but they are chemical based.

EX-1s have been around for donkeys. One of the first ever legal highs, in fact. I gotta say, they still do it for me sometimes!

I think there’s a lot of scepticism around the old legal highs. It’s true to say that most of them were pretty rubbish. Just someone’s idea of trying to make a few bucks from people who didn’t know better, before all the really potent stuff came into the shops. But EX-1s are still on the market and there’s reason for it. They’re good!

If you haven’t tried legal highs before, or maybe you’ve never tried any party drugs and you’re curious to know what the fuss is all about, EX-1s are a good place to start. They are “uppers” – designed to give you extra energy and keep you awake longer. They are meant to substitute illegal amphetamine drugs like speed. And a lot of people started taking EX-1s when they wanted to stop taking illegal ecstasy pills.

EX-1s are not as strong as illegal drugs, unless you overdose, but this is never recommended. But they will give you a boost, make you really chatty, keep you on the dancefloor and make you wonder how on earth you got to 6am and still on form! And some people, myself included, get proper rushes when they come up.

The best thing about EX-1s is that they are totally herbal. There is only 1 ingredient – sida cordifolia which is a natural stimulant. And it’s fine to drink on them too. One word of warning though – because you’re on a high, it’s easy to drink loads more than you normally would and not get drunk. This is cool, but the next day you might feel a lot groggier than you expected!

Purple Ohms are sold as hallucinogenics. I guess they do have some similar effects, but if what you’re after is a proper acid-like trip, then they might not be for you. Purple Ohms will definitely keep you awake for a few hours and give you a bouncy feeling with warped spacial visuals. As with all drugs, it will depend on your circumstances anyway. Maybe if I’d taken Purple Ohms indoors at a party with some stompin dance music I would have got a very different experience. As it was, I was a bit cold and surrounded by mud, so maybe this isn’t the best representation!

If you look up Purple Ohms in online headshops, they will say that you get a “shroom-like” experience. It’s definitely more shroom-like than acid-like but just don’t expect to see floating wizards and talking elephants!

If you’re gonna try Purple Ohms, I’d recommend you check out the ingredients. They contain chemicals, as well as herbal ingredients, such as piperine blend which is similar to BZP. BZP was investigated by a government body when it first came on the legal highs scene and now there’s some ambiguity over whether or not it’s still allowed. Basically, it has an amphetamine-like effect and usually enhances other ingredients.

Overall, I’d say Purple Ohms are good for a night when you wanna keep going and add an tilt to your perspective but you don’t want to go completely sideways!
