1. C4 Explosive

It’s hard to know what to make of the claim that you can get high from plastic explosives, but it appears in a fairly level-headed book titled Uppers, Downers, All-Arounders, written by two people from the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic, so if some hippie has tried it, then… more power to him. They devote two whole sentences to it in their book, saying:

“Modern veterans have been known to ingest C4 or cyclonite plastic explosives for their psychedelic effects. Tremors and seizure activity can result but usually not an explosion as it takes a blasting cap to set off the chemicals.”

Well that’s good to know… you won’t level your entire block, just one half of your brain. A Marine Corps training document on explosives contains the warning “Do not ingest any explosive material.”

2. Carbogen

When you inhale this mixture of 70% oxygen and 30% carbon dioxide, your brain thinks you’re dying of suffocation, although you’re getting enough oxygen to function normally. People who have studied this shit like Dr. Jack Provonsha state that “Subjects on carbon dioxide report separation of the self from the body. And as with the [psychedelic] drugs and NDEs (near death experiences), there were reports of caves, tunnels, intensely bright lights, visions of other person, luminaries, reliving of the past and spiritual experiences.” During the same time that LSD was introduced into psychotherapy, carbogen was also used for its similar, if much shorter term effects and at its height, up to 200 therapists used the procedure.

3. Catnip

Catnip isn’t just for felines anymore. Most humans who have smoked it say it’s like getting a mild, mellow pot buzz. Nothing to get too excited about, but it’s cheap and legal, you just have to fight off your cat for it.

4. Clomipramine (trade name: Anafranil)

The strange thing about this prescription anti-depressant– most often prescribed for obsessive-compulsive disorder– is its very strange side effect it causes in some people: spontaneous orgasms while yawning. Yes. Orgasming from a yawn. If I owned a restaurant, I would totally put this in the food just to see how many people eat some spaghetti and then come all over themselves. But I digress.

A 1983 article in the Canadian Jouranl of Psychiatry presents the case of three people who experience this pleasurable but disconcerting phenomenon. A woman in her late 20s said that she came every time she yawned and found she could induce orgasm just through forcing herself to yawn when she wasn’t tired. A man in his mid-twenties also had the fun side effect, but through multiple times of yawning and coming in his pants, he had to wear a condom all the time lest he end up with semen stains all over his pants while at say, work. In the third case, a woman in her thirties didn’t orgasm every single time she yawned, but if she didn’t she would become so incredibly horny that she often had to stop what she was doing to masturbate. In all cases, the side effect ceased once the patients stopped taking the drug.

5. DDT

When it was still thought to be pretty safe for humans, the now banned pesticide was used for kicks. As inconceivable as it is now, a popular cocktail of the 1950s called the Mickey Sim, was made by adding a small amount of DDT to gin. Since the chemical attacks the nervous system, a very small dollop produced sensation that were pleasurable in a fucked up way.

6. DIPT

DIPT is a tryptamine that’s known for mainly affecting auditory sensations. An experiment in the book TIHKAL by Alexander and Ann Shulgin notes “Radio voices are all low, music out of key. Piano sounds like a bar-room disaster. The telephone ringing sounds partly underwater.” Orally taking a larger amount results in “Abrupt sounds have golden spikes attached to them as after-sounds, but I can’t focus in on any other sensory changes.” At much higher dosage, “The voices of people were extremely distorted– males sounded like frogs– children sounded like they were talking through synthesizers to imitate outer space people in science fiction movies.

7. Poisons and venoms

Several plants known for their hallucinogenic properties are quite toxic, such as the Datura family, which includes Jimsonweed. And of course, you can make the argument that any substance is toxic if you take enough of it. Still, some natural substances known primarily as poisons– arsenic, strychnine and venom– have been used in sublethal doses for their mind-altering effects. A couple fun historical tidbits that illustrate the use of poison to fuck one’s shit up:

In 1817, when the Queen of Portugal was dying a slow, painful death, one of her slaves gave her a mixture of pot and arsenic which completely relieved her of her suffering.

In his article theorizing that Napoleon Bonaparte may have been an arsenic junkie, Napoleonic expert Bob Elmer writes: “Arsenic was also used by some as a mind-altering drug, much as marijuana or cocaine is used today. In small doses, it gave the user a feeling of well-being, strength and sexual staying power.”

The Encyclopedia of Pscyhoactive Substances points out that holy men of India smoke cobra venom for its psychoactive effects. Also noted is that 10 Native American tribes in California are known to swallow live ants as means of inducing visions. The ants bite the stomach lining, injecting their venom and later may be vomited up, still alive.

8. Rhododendron

A single species of rhododendron, the lavender ponticum, is known to create trips when its smoke is inhaled. The plant is quite poisonous however, so this seems to be a case where ingesting a sublethal dose of a poisonous plant gets you high by attacking the hell out of your nervous system.

This is the only one on the list that I’ve had experience with, though sort of by accident. When I was going to college, I was living in Asheville, NC, which is up in the mountains, where there’s a crapload of Rhododendron and one day while hiking in the woods, I found a branch that was in the perfect shape of a hobbit pipe and even hollowed out down the middle by decay or ants or something. Well, I took it home and tried smoking pipe tobacco through it and ended up for the next 30 minutes having an insane out of body experience that my soul was just barely hanging onto my body by a thin silver thread. It was terrifying and I don’t recommend it.

9. Saffron

The expensive flavoring saffron– the dried, crushed stamen of the Crocus sativas– is not often mentioned in the canon of mind-altering, but it was the most oft-used ingredient in laudenum, after opium and alcohol. The Encyclopedia of Pscyhoactive Substances notes that the famously orange-yellow flower “is known to have soporific and narcotic effects similar to those of opium.”

10. Salamander brandy

Not to found on the shelves of your local liquor store, salamander brandy is noncommercially produced in parts of Slovenia. At least four ways– all involving cruelty toward the poor amphibians– are used. In one, the salamanders are places on a sieve and brandy is poured over them until they drown. In another approach, the poor beasts are suspended by their back legs as brandy drips down a string and over their bodies. In all all cases, the salamanders are so stressed and frightened that they excrete large amounts of poisonous slime, which then infuses the brandy. The effects are visual hallucinations and feelings of wanting to fuck anything in sight. Those crazy Slovenes.

11. Urine

Not just any urine, but the piss of someone who has partaken of the amanita muscaria mushroom. At one time, Eskimos and tribes in Siberia were known to use this trick for a couple of reasons. First, since there wasn’t an endless supply of shrooms, this approach helped economize them. Not only drinking the pee of someone who had eaten the mushroom get you high, drinking the urine of the first piss-sipper would also work, and so on down through five people. Plus what else are you going to smoke when you live in the northern Arctic? Plus, it’s a free warm beverage. Score.

12. Xenon

The noble gas xenon– which you might remember from the days of studying the periodic table– can be inhaled for a high similar to nitrous oxide (laughing gas). In a trip reported on the website Lyceaum, an anonymous user notices “an amazing ability to zero in on singularity thoughts and memories and hold them in suspension for sentiment orgasms.” The adventurous soul notes that unlike laughing gas, there’s no headaches or auditory hallucinations.

Although marijuana has some medical values but due to its addictive nature its consumption is considered illegal. There are several blogs, forums where you will find people sharing their good and bad experiences with marijuana and many of them have even stated for and against the legalization of marijuana. There are several terms related to marijuana and they are taken as joint, blunt, bong or pipe. All of these are the ways that people would like to take. When a cigarette is rolled with marijuana it is called a joint and when a cigar rolled with marijuana is called a blunt. Marijuana can also be smoked through a pipe or a bong. Marijuana is also known as cannabis, ganja, grass, Mary Jane, pot, skunk, smoke, weed, etc.? The chemical THC that is known as Tetrahydrocannabinol present in the weed is known to be very active that causes pleasurable sensations as described by those who take marijuana.

There are some who do not take to weed often but there are some who are addicted and the sign of addiction are that they frequently focused on the drug at all times and have uncontrollable urge to use the drug continuously despite the physical, emotional, mental and social cost associated with it.?

Easy to use drug testing kits helps the worried families wrap up whether or not their child is abusing drugs and take the necessary and judicious actions and help them to beat their drug compulsion.

Unfortunately, I’ve got a rather brief answer:

No. There is not.

I should clarify that: There is no reliable store-bought method for passing a urine test.

Oh sure, there are a bunch of different methods out there, but none of them actually work anywhere close to reliably. People will tell you that drinking lots of water will help you beat the test (it will indeed make your urine more diluted, which will in turn decrease the level of various metabolites — but since most labs have started testing the water content of your urine, drinking too much water may cause the test to be invalidated, requiring a retest.) Various companies will sell you a hundred and one shakes, mixes, drinks, pills, and powders, each of them promising to help you “beat a drug test”. The truth of the matter, however, is that they’re more or less all junk. Think about it: if there were a reliable way to beat the test, why would companies bother? Most corporations wouldn’t bother going to the legal and financial trouble of testing if your local grocery store sold something that could guarantee that you’ll pass the test.

There are only two 100% reliable ways to avoid failing a drug test: use clean urine (from someone who doesn’t use drugs) or stop smoking weed. If you stop smoking, it’ll take a while before your urine is clean, so be sure to take that into account — the longer you’ve smoked, the more you’ll have to wait. That said, if it comes down to either strapping a bag of urine to your leg, not smoking, or being unemployed… well… I’d just pack up my bong for a while.

Many organizations are pushing for the legalization of Marijuana as a medical drug. Marijuana has many medical advantages which include it being a therapeutic drug for cancer and AIDS patients. Many other research and studies dedicated to Marijuana has shown early signs that it can also inhibit cancer cell growth in animals.

In spite of these recent findings, many other organizations have tried to block the legalization of Marijuana as a medical drug. These organizations cited that only some isolated elements of Marijuana can be regarded as medically helpful and that the practice of smoking it does not necessarily have to be done.

Organizations Lobbying For Legal Marijuana Use

Patients out of Time and Law Enforcement against Prohibition are just two of the numerous organizations asking the government to change its mind regarding the? prohibition of Marijuana use . Patients out of Time is an organization that has dedicated itself to the education of health care professionals and the general public regarding the therapeutic use of cannabis. This organization believes that? Marijuana? can be utilized as a drug to help patients who are suffering from several various diseases and illnesses.

LEAP or Law Enforcement against Prohibition is an organization that consists of former and current officers of the law and other individuals who wish to point out the failure of many drug policies. They believe that having a systematic regulation and control of drugs can benefit the community more than prohibition.

Anti-Marijuana

There are other organizations that believe that legalizing marijuana is a good idea and others also want to veto these suggestions from the pro organizations. Other research studies have also pointed out that using Marijuana can adversely affect the brain and the body. These are lifelong effects that can manifest themselves long after an individual has given up using Marijuana. The anti-marijuana organizations stress that there are other products in the medical market that have the same positive effects of Marijuana with little or none of the negative side effects.

Researches regarding the? use of Marijuana? in some individuals who are already sick have shown that it can complicate the illness and add to the severity of it. Most of these organizations that are against the use of Marijuana as a medical drug urge the government for more extensive research to bring to light the effects of the plant.

As of the moment, the laws enacting the illegality of using and growing marijuana are still in place. The government has not budged regarding the many lobbyists who ask for the lifting of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. In spite of the many advocates of pro-Marijuana use, the studies that have been done regarding the usefulness of the drug is still not enough to convince the government of its efficiency in the medical field. Some states in the United States of America have laws and regulations which are more lenient than other states. This is in lieu of sick people who wish to have release from pain and suffering caused by illnesses but there is a legal limit which needs to be followed.

The move to legalize the use and propagation of Marijuana will always have opposition since this plant is controversial. If the government does allow the use and propagation of Cannabis, there will always be a loophole which will be used by drug addicts and traffickers to be able to make money from the lifting of the ban.

Humans have been using cannabis, also known as marijuana, for different purposes ever since prehistory. Marijuana, a genetic variation of the cannabis sativa, is still a very common herbal drug. The plant develops best in warm climates and may often be grown with the help of hydroponic growing methods. Medicinal marijuana is known to be part of AIDS and cancer therapies and even offers pain relief in certain situations. Although many public health groups have called for medicinal marijuana usage, the subject still remains highly controversial. Bcseedking.com offers a wide variety of marijuana seeds.

Cannabis inhalation dates back at least as far as the Neolithic age. The Hindus of India and Nepal were probably the most common users of hallucinogen substances during their ceremonial rituals. The Assyrians and the Thracians also had knowledge of cannabis, using it at religious events. Even today various sects treat cannabis as a sacrament, often referring to it as the tree of life. These days, marijuana is considered illegal in some countries while others tolerate it in small quantities or even allow consumption regardless of quantity. You can now purchase marijuana seeds online from bcseedking.com.

Medicinal marijuana has been used for decades as part of different therapeutic programs. A synthetic form of the Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol , also known as THC, is actually what brings beneficial results in cancer and AIDS therapies.

A recent study auggests that the cannabinol found in marijuana may inhibit the spread of cancer cells in animals. At bcseedking.com you’ll find marijuana seeds with a worldwide shipping service.

Relieving some of the symptoms caused by aggressive cancer and/or AIDS therapy isn’t the only beneficial influence of marijuana in medicine. A synthetic form of THC has proven to relieve anorexia symptoms and help reduce anxiety in patients suffering from Alzheimer. Another beneficial effect of marijuana is in treating glaucoma – a condition that eventually causes loss of sight. Medicinal marijuana helps eliminate glaucoma by reducing the intraocular pressure. However, the use of marijuana in glaucoma is still controversial as it can also decrease the blood flow to the optic nerve. Marijuana is also widely used for pain relief in certain neurological conditions such as bipolar disorder. Studies have revealed that marijuana can even be a part of treating obsessive compulsive disorders and muscle spasms.

Marijuana has been used in different ways for thousands of years and scientists are still figuring out its effects. The opinions concerning use of marijuana in the medical world are divided – some say it can be highly beneficial while others suggest more research before coming to any conclusions. Medicinal marijuana has proven to be helpful in providing relief from pain, nausea and other distressing symptoms of cancer or AIDS. Bcseedking.com is where you’ll find a variety of marijuana seeds.

One of the wings in the marijuana controversy supports their legalizations claims in the fact that Sativa seeds are found in history since ancient times and mostly associated to consecration rituals in many cultures all over the world. In India, cannabis seeds have religious significance and there is evidence that marijuana was cited in many of the original sacred texts. The Scythians used to put Indica seeds and leaves on hot stones to produce a steam bath, which smoke was used to purify the novice priests.? In Thebes, marijuana was used to produce a drink, which effects were similar to those of opium, and hemp seed appears as a religious element in many Egyptian papyruses. During the Middle Age, Asian criminals rewarded their fellows with marijuana seeds hashish, and it is said that hashishins is the origin of the word assassins. The ritual of effects Cannabis seeds reside in concentrated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of the plant and its resin, flowers and leaves.? ? Although marijuana has been classified as an hallucinogenic plant, there are very little drug substances in the roots, stems and seeds of the plant regardless its variety, reason why these are parts of the plant in its pure state are not toxic or poisoning hallucinogens like others. The active ingredients of the marijuana plant are truly narcotics, but none of them are directly responsible for addiction or dependence contrary to opium and its derivatives.? ? In the New World, marijuana seeds were part of the magical-religious rituals of Native America and Mesoamerican tribes. However, in modern time, marijuana was only legal for a brief period in the early 20th century after The Harrison Narcotics Tax Act federal law that regulated and taxed the production, importation, and distribution of opium and coca leaves in the United States.? ? Such act allowed the registration of any substance considered a narcotic, hence according to it the production and consumption of marijuana was legal. The act proposed by New York Representative Francis Burton Harrison was approved on December 17, 1914, but in 1925 Justice McReynolds ruled that the federal government has no power to regulate medical practice after the prosecution of doctor that prescribe narcotics to addicts, hence Marijuana legal use was banned in 1937.? Hemp seed acts directly on the hypothalamus, promoting the secretion of hormones of the pituitary gland that also controls the appetite. Marijuana produces a series of physical sensations that cause partial loss of the time concept followed by relaxation and calm. A prolonged use promotes disinhibition with a slight libido increase that decreases at a time any anxiety sensation.? Marijuana is more commonly smoked and under its effects, the mood of a person changes along with their immediate expectations and producing pleasant sensations of well-being and calm that evolve in sudden euphoria and easy laughter. Loquacity and temporary changes in perception contribute with disinhibition and sensory impairment that continues in a second phase of increased appetite, depression, and sleepiness if the person does not stop with it.
