The Wonderful mysteries of nature
The other day I was sitting on my computer and was looking at local headshops online, I stumbled across the the "Herb vapes" section and it got me thinking. What are the "Herbs" these people referring to? what other plants can you smoke and get high off? I was puzzled so I began to do some research and look into natural highs.
Blue Lotus also known as Nymphaea Caerulea
The blue lotus is a breed of water lily, originally found near the Nile. It contains the psychoactive alkaloid apomorphine, it is illegal in 3 countires Latvia, Poland and Russia.
The effects for everyone are different but generally users tend to have a feeling of euphoria and it is commonly referred to as similar to MDMA, except a lot less intense and more calming than stimulating.
Mexican Prickly Poppy also known as Argemone Mexicana
Mexican Prickly Poppy is obviously a species of poppy, It is very tough and considered a pioneer plant due to its ability to survive harsh and uncomfortable environments, It was very valuable to the Aztecs and was used in rituals.
The Aztecs called it "The nourishment of the dead" or "The food of the dead". Prickly poppy can be dried and when the resin is ingested creates a sensation of euphoria and sedation, people have also reported that they feel more talkative and their pupils dilate.
Wild Dagga also known as Leonotis Leonurus
Wild dagga is from the mint family naturally found in south africa, it is a shrub. Wild dagga is known to be the best alternative for marijuana. Dagga is the word for cannabis in indigenous South African tribes, the plant is illegal in Latvia and Russia.
The high is supposed to give you euphoria and effects similar to marijuana but less potent, wild dagga is often used with cannabis for a mixed effect.
Conclusion
Over the course that I have researched for the article I came to some conclusions about what the natural highs are and what they do, I also learned it must suck to live in Lativa. With a large database on the internet I would encourage you to look into natural highs as some of the stuff you can find is very interesting and you wouldn't expect. The African dream herb is interesting with its lucid dream like effects, so go out there you little steemers and go smoke some plants!
