"Why do all Herbal Smokes "work"
ALL “Herbal Alternatives” work -and this includes all the buds all the Herbal Blends all the single herbs.
It is mainly a matter of potency and the particular effects of each, for every Herbal Alternative has
its own signature effect(s), but all will have –eventually– an effect, ALL.
The first mistake most folks new to this whole Herbal Alternative scene is that they expect these Herbals
to be Cannabis. NONE of these Herbal Alternatives is or ever will be Cannabis or a substitute for Cannabis;
hence, the name “alternatives” NOT “substitutes”. These are an alternative to Cannabis, Tobacco and other
substances that may not be legal in the U. S., if not most of the world. All of these Herbal Alternatives
are legal in most of the U. S. –Salvia Divinorum being the only Alternative being made a controlled substance
(Schedule 1) in Louisiana and Missouri that I know of at present.
Herbal Alternatives will NOT give you a “pot high”... at all... ever. You may, however, look forward to most
if not all of the following effects and sensations: euphoria, relaxation, overall feelings of peace and well
being, anti-anxiety, some relief from depression, chattiness, “the giggles”, some inebriation, et cetera.
All varying in degree depending on the Herbal Alternative, for they are all different, and in the method
ingested; smoking the material being the method to bring out the effects in a more intense manner, tea
being the longest lasting though not as intense. Moreover, remember that the concept of “Herbal Alternatives”
includes ALL Herbal Blends, Herbal Buds, and single herbs (such as Wild Dagga, Damiana, Kratom,
California Poppy, Kanna, Salvia Divinorum, Wormwood, et cetera et cetera) available from vendors online
,your local health food store, and headshops.
Now to the answer the question that makes up part of title of this article. The reason a lot of people don’t
seem to get any effect after ingesting these Herbal Alternatives is because brain receptor sites in
particular individuals are not bonding with the compounds in these Herbals. So you can smoke and smoke
and smoke whatever Herbal Alternative and get minimum to no results no matter how much you smoke in
a single session. This may be due to each individual’s genetic make-up and the resulting brain chemistry.
The good news is that this non-bonding CAN be easily overcome by a simple method a few acquaintances
and I have tried and proven to ourselves repeatedly when a certain Herbal Alternative did not work.
THE METHOD goes as follows:
smoke about a bowl to two bowl’s worth of the material (about 200mg to 300mg) you are getting barely any
to no effects from every day, to a minimum of every other day, for two to three weeks, and that’s it.
After that time, one day you will be ingesting the Herbal Alternative and suddenly feel “buzzed”, if
not VERY buzzed. It usually happens with me that after only five to six days using this method, WHAM!,
I get really heavily buzzed from an Herbal Alternative I hadn’t been getting anything at all from! This
method of “priming” one’s brain to get those receptors bonding with, and resulting in full on effects from,
these Alternatives is sure to get you effects; thus avoiding disappointment, or worse your throwing away
of these in frustration... along with your hard earned cash.
Just don’t expect every Herbal Alternative you ingest to be as potent and/or be the same in effects to
other Herbal Alternatives, because they, again, are all different (though effects you shall have for sure).
Some might be more potent than the next, some more euphoric, others will give you more of a “chilled out”
relaxed feeling, but all WILL have a noticeable effect on you –and then it’s up to you whether you like
a particular effect or not (but that is surely different from “not getting ANY effects whatsoever”, yes?).
Another matter with individual brain chemistry is that everyone will get different degrees in “buzz” than
the next person, or will feel effects that were totally not associated with the particular Herbal Alternative;
even though the particular Herbal has one outstanding effect for most, or has the reputation to. For example,
Wild Lettuce is known to have sedative properties, but I also get a strong euphoria with an almost contradictory
sense of energy to it –though the relaxation sensation is there and very prominent, but my friend,
who will also be smoking it, will only feel sedated with hardly any euphoria at all, and then falls asleep.
The most potent Herbal Alternatives, as far as I’m aware of, are the ones “Enhanced” with Salvia Divinorum -Enhanced
usually means the Herbal Blend has Salvia D. in it for more potent effects.
Lastly, most of these Herbals will not blow your mind or “MESS you up”, though some do, like Salvia Divinorum,
Baby Wood Rose seeds, Amanita Muscaria, and others. No, most of these Herbal Alternatives are a bit gentler
in their properties, though, as I said, they do produce effects, and fairly strong and satisfying ones at
that, usually associated with whatever particular vendor's statements about their Herbal Alternatives on
their site... but always, always, do your own research into this whole Herbal Alternatives scene. There
are many places, aside the one you are on, online... and welcome fellow *HERBALHEADS*!
Peace.

IN THE NEWS
N.M. Cops Sue Burger King Over Marijuana-Laced Hamburgers
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served
hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.
The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were
in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8
of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, the lawsuit said.
They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.
"It gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Whopper,"' the officers' attorney, Sam Bregman, said Monday.
"The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law
enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."
Three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated
battery on an officer, a felony. They later were indicted.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Bernalillo County, alleges personal injury, negligence, battery and
violation of fair practices. It seeks unspecified damages along with legal costs.
Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing
pending litigation

This months Stoner joke
"Hello, is this the FBI?" "Yes, what do you want?" "I'm calling to report my neighbor Billy Bob Smith!
He is hiding marijuana inside drilled out logs in a shed near his house." "Thank you very much for the call,
sir."
The next day, the FBI agents descend on Billy Bob's house. They immediately go to the shed and find the
logs of wood. They start cutting the logs in half to get to the marijuana hidden inside them the anonymous
caller told them about. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swore
at Billy Bob and left.
The phone rings at Billy Bob's house. Hey, Billy Bob! Did the FBI come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your
firewood?" "Yep." "Happy Birthday, Buddy!"
