The Legal High – Smoking Reviews & Legal Highs

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.

A bong is a special type of water pipe used for smoking wherein smoke is made to pass through the water and allowed to bubble through the entire chamber. The purpose is to let the burned substance cool and be filtered before it is inhaled into the user’s mouth and lungs. The word “bong” is derived from “baung,” a Thai word that refers to a cut-off section of bamboo to be used as either a wooden tube or pipe, which accounts for the cylindrical design of the bong.

The purpose of the cooling and filtering process that the smoke goes through inside the bong is to form and accumulate a large cooled buffer of smoke which helps lower the occurrence of burns inside the mouth, the air passageways and the lungs. In short, bongs counter this burning which is a normal side effect of cigarette and cigar smoking. This gives bongs a reputation of safety.

The bong user is expected to quickly inhale the cooled smoke but he is not supposed to suck the smoke in, if he does he will surely get a mouthful of bong water. The best thing to do is to leave your lungs open and leave everything to gravity. This very simple procedure has made bongs popular. Bongs are commonly used for smoking Cannabis and sometimes, though less often, with tobacco and other legal highs.
Most bongs are homemade and may range from anything like the simple bucket bong to the extremely elaborate and expensive bongs, such as the custom-made glass types that cost up to £175 each.

Bongs are in great demand because they are made from a great variety of materials and they occur in do many shapes, size and colours. The materials commonly used to make bongs include glass, acrylic or ceramic. In addition, pyrite and even vegetables and fruits are also used. One other very good thing about bongs is that they can be specially designed, personalized and custom made for almost any owner.

The technical name for Golden Root is Rhodiola Rosea and it is a plant that can only be found growing in the colder regions of the world such as:

*The Arctic
*The Central Asian mountains
*The Rocky Mountains in the US
*Iceland and Scandinavia
*Mountainous parts of Europe (e.g. the Alps, Carpathians, Pyrenees, etc

The plant is typically found at elevations of up to 2,200 metres (7,218 feet) and is classified as a dioecious plant, meaning that it has separate male and female plants.  Golden Root is also known as Aaron’s Rod and Roseroot.

The plant has numerous applications, but it is primarily known as an herbal treatment for alleviating the effects of depression as well as being used for elevating a person’s mood.  Several studies have also revealed that it can improve mental and physical performance as well as reducing fatigue.

It is included in that classification of plants which are technically referred to as “adaptogens” which are different in nature from other chemically manufactured stimulants such as nicotine, and it does not have the same physiological consequences.  Recently, it was discovered that Golden Root or Golden Root complex is a stress reliever and can prevent premature aging based on stress related consequences.

Of any herbal or natural medicine, adaptogens have the broadest healing property spectrum of any of these medicines.  However, their inherent value stems from the fact that they are an excellent stress reliever and are now being consumed to elevate a person’s mood in order to relieve that stress.

This is a pretty cool product. Snow Blow won’t completely blow your head off, but actually it does a really good job of keeping you up and chatting the night through. You would think that for just over a fiver it probably wouldn’t do much, but it does. You get proper rushes when you take it and then you feel really energised and happy – up for anything. I’ve taken it a few times now. The first time was on a night out with friends down the pub when we all had some and we all felt something. OK, one of my mates complained that he’d rather have the illegal stuff, but the rest of us were impressed. We didn’t really want to get completely bolloxed anyway and feel ratty in the morning. It was just nice to be buzzing and bantering for a few hours. The effect of Snow Blow is a bit like a caffeine buzz but without the edgy tension you get sometimes. I think it is basically caffeine in the ingredients, so I don’t know how they’ve managed to balance it out, but it is a lot nicer than a few cans of Red Bull!

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!

Praise be to the god of legal smokes! At last we have something that can truly replace the loss of legal smokes such as Spice, Smoke, Magic, D-Raw, Bomaby Blue and Ex-ses. Remember them? Feeling the pangs of longing? Well, your prayers have been answered as the new Smoke 2 Joosey hits the shelves of all good headshops.

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!
