In the pursuit of getting high, teenagers are sometimes ready to do really stupid and thoughtless things. What is most interesting, many of them try something new in the hope of experiencing an incomparable sensation. Read on for some of the strangest ways American teenagers get high.

The abuse of inhalants or "irritants" is an old American, one might say antiquated, method of getting an inexpensive buzz. He has been known for a long time. Spray bottles can be found in most homes and are fairly easy to buy. But inhaling hydrocarbons creates a feeling of temporary paralysis and oxygen deficiency. It may also damage internal organs and cause death. Parents are advised to pay attention to oddities in the sense of smell of adolescents, dilated pupils and quickly ending aerosols.

Another substance in the "irritant" drug category is mothballs. The gas given off by mothballs is designed to keep hungry insects away from your clothes. But it turns out that it also attracts teenagers hoping to get high. After inhalation, teens become uncoordinated and their skin may become "scaly" as the body tries to flush out the chemicals they inhale. In any case, this is stupid because. can lead to severe poisoning of the body.

This method stands out on the list because it is not a drug. Adolescents do this to achieve the same effect as when using stimuli. In short, asphyxiation games involve cutting off blood flow to the brain to the point where the person faints or begins to lose consciousness. Once blood flow to the brain is restored, the explosion of oxygen in the brain creates a feeling of euphoria. But as they say, you can overdo it.

Antiseptic gel.
It is supposed to be applied to your hands to kill germs. Some teenagers decided that they could drink it and get drunk. Some antiseptic gels contain over 60% ethanol. This means that a couple of drops are the equivalent of a couple shots of vodka. As with regular alcoholic beverages, this can lead to serious side effects, including weakening motor function, memory loss, damage to internal organs and increased blood sugar.

If drug research hasn't shown you anything surprising about what teenagers are willing to eat, drink, or smoke to get high, meet catnip. Most people know catnip as the herb that makes your cat act like an idiot. Catnip was actually used by people in the 1960s as an alternative to marijuana. The fad is back as teenagers use the cat drug to get their own high and take their cats' high. Eaten or smoked, catnip can cause relaxation, mild euphoria, or dizziness. Side effects include nausea, headaches and people making fun of you. If you notice a teenager meowing around a skein of yarn, be sure it's catnip.

Known as Hippie Crack, nitrous oxide is a very well-known drug. In addition, it is used by dentists and speed enthusiasts. The most accessible source of the drug is the dairy section of the grocery store. In jars of whipped cream, nitrous oxide is used to extract the product from the jar. The inhalation of this substance (nitrogen, not whipped cream) causes euphoria. But it can also cause frostbite, organ damage, suffocation and death. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that more than 700,000 teens used inhalants such as nitrous oxide in a year. But the data is not limited to teenagers. Even Demi Moore has been hospitalized after reportedly taking nitrous oxide.

Freon is a gas used in freezers and refrigerators. If you inhale it, you will get high. The teenagers found out that the usual home air conditioner also contains Freon. They reportedly use a screwdriver to inhale the gas. V last years technicians and repairers are reporting an increase in complaints about loss of freon in air conditioners. In addition to euphoria, freon can cause liver, heart, and brain damage, as well as death. It can also cause severe frostbite on the face and lungs.

There is a new term for the drug that is being used today - beezin'. This refers to teenagers who have found a quirky way to use Burt's Bees products to get high. Burt's Bees produces a line of natural and organic products that include toothpastes, shampoos and conditioners. Teenagers have found that using the company's lip balm on their eyelids can produce a feeling of euphoria. Experts believe that this effect is caused by peppermint oil. Side effects are not yet known, but the boredom that caused the desire to try this should be alarming.

This method does not require any substances, it uses music to get a "digital high". With headphones, a person listens to different sounds or beats in each ear. The result is that the listener feels a wonderful sound "inside the head". Some have reported feelings and sensations as if they were using marijuana or acid. Experts say music can disrupt the body's vital rhythms and sleep cycles.

Teenagers love to use things for other purposes. Over the past few years, there has been a surge in bizarre drinking practices. It turns out that teenagers liked to soak tampons with vodka and insert them where the sun does not shine, or pour vodka directly into the eyes. The logic is simple - a thinner skin membrane and a high concentration of blood vessels in these "certain" places allow alcohol to be absorbed more quickly. This is true, but the problem is that alcohol enters directly into the bloodstream at a higher concentration than if it had been first processed by the liver. This can lead to alcohol poisoning or damage to the eyes and chocolate eye.

Yes, that's right, nutmeg. Essential oil nutmeg contains a small amount of myristicin, a psychotropic drug. Teenagers eat, drink and smoke this spice to get some form of high. Reported sensations range from a slight "hum" in the head to hallucinations. Side effects sound more serious. They include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headaches and dizziness.

It's just stupid. In American schools, there is a prank when they are asked to eat something or put something up their nose. It turns out that now it has become fashionable to inhale sweets. The only thing worth saying about this "trend" is that one of side effects is the possibility of obtaining nasal larvae.

Jenkem - human waste. Jenkem use reportedly began in Africa in the 1990s. The first information about Jenkem appeared at the beginning of this century, but soon the information was refuted, and everything was turned into a joke. Logically (if we can use that word in this article) inhaling naturally produced methane contributes to any "high". However, if teens are willing to inhale candy and smoke nutmeg, we're willing to bet there's a group of teens somewhere who have tried to consume shit. The whole thing is so funny that it deserves to be number 1 on this list.

Made popular by rappers in the 1990s, Purple Drank, also known as "Texas Tea", "Sizzurp" or simply "Drank", is another substance that teenagers continue to use to get high. Purple Drank is a cough mixture mixed with Sprite or Mountain Dew and sometimes hard candies to add sweetness. This mixture is based on codeine, a drug found in cough mixture. Popularized in hip-hop culture and reportedly used by Justin Bieber, Purple Drank is mildly euphoric. It also causes lethargy and drowsiness and, if taken in a high enough dose, can slow down nervous system and make the person stop breathing. High sugar content also leads to excessive weight gain and tooth decay.

Smoking, especially for a long time, sometimes pushes heavy smokers to some experiments. After all, you can make cigarettes yourself by wrapping in tissue paper various mixtures of herbs. Moreover, given the well-known fact that real tobacco is almost never found in modern cigarettes. So it turns out, there is not much difference what to use for smoking.

Many people use various herbal mixtures not only in order to get unusual sensations, but in this way they are trying to quit a bad habit. Peppermint is especially common among experimental smokers. This plant, due to its characteristic pleasant smell, is actively used among perfumers and culinary specialists.

Mint is harmless when smoked and is an ingredient in some herbal cigarettes.

The choice for fragrant leaves does not fall by chance when trying to create herbal cigarettes. This plant culture is directly related to menthol cigarettes known to many smokers. Of course, there is no mint itself in its pure form. But menthol, which is included in the composition of such tobacco products, is obtained from the extract of the essential oil of this plant culture. Is it possible to smoke mint instead of tobacco using dry leaves? Will such experiments harm health?

Received effect

Of course, mint, unlike tobacco, absolutely does not contain nicotine in its composition, which means that the smoker's tobacco hunger is not able to satisfy this plant. But, according to some, inhaling dry smoldering mint leaves can have a relaxing and calming effect on a person. True, experts add that to obtain such an effect, mint should be taken in the form of teas, inside, but not through smoking.

Decoctions and infusions of mint leaves soothe the body well, in folk medicine such teas are especially advised to be taken in the evenings, for a good and sound sleep.

So what happens if you smoke mint, in addition to a rather pleasant perception? The experimenter will not receive any other sensations. There is also a dangerous option for using the leaves of this plant - many drug addicts treat the leaves of such a culture with drug-containing drugs (synthetic drugs are most often used).

In this case, the plant is used as the base for the joint stuffing, and the heady euphoria is due to the effects of the drug. There will be no harm to the body from pure mint. But it should be borne in mind that during combustion, the smoke is saturated with toxic compounds, in particular carbon monoxide, which carries an immediate health hazard.

Peppermint is an ingredient in some products designed to help you quit smoking.

But in any case, mint-based herbal cigarettes are an order of magnitude safer than conventional ones made from tobacco chips. Therefore, mint is actively used by manufacturers of herbal cigarettes. Such products are intended for people who have decided to quit smoking, but still suffering from psychological dependence. And in the combination of herbal cigarette products with nicotine replacement therapy (chewing gum, sprays, patches), the cigarette addict is released from physical cravings.

Interesting about herbal cigarettes

It has long been no secret that modern tobacco products practically do not contain the declared full-fledged tobacco. The harm from such a hobby for the body is enormous. Therefore, more and more smokers are thinking about replacing the poisonous products of the modern tobacco industry and switching to the use of herbal products.

In modern herbal cigarettes, designed to help quit smoking, mint is included in almost all formulations.

Herbal cigarettes "Tavolga" (made in Russia) contain:

• oregano;
• sage;
• St. John's wort;
• motherwort;
• mint leaves;
• horsetail;
• coltsfoot;
• yarrow;
• herb mountaineer bird.

American Smoke Free are based on mint leaves and the soft fibrous shell of coconuts. And Nirdosh Indian herbal cigarettes have a rather rich herbal composition, which may include:

• caraway;
• guggul;
• basil;
• cinnamon;
• Carnation;
• licorice;
• persimmon leaves;
• smooth licorice;
• Indian cinnamon;
• galangal root;
• rhizomes of turmeric.

The absence of tobacco in the composition of such products ensures the gradual weaning of the smoker from psychological dependence. And the mint included in the composition helps to calm down, and distracts with its pleasant aftertaste from the desire to smoke real (classic) cigarettes.

Herbal cigarettes Nirdosh contain mint

conclusions

Smoking peppermint is inherently a perfectly acceptable procedure. The body will not receive special harm from this type of rest. Compared to conventional cigarettes, herbal cigarettes based on these fragrant dry leaves are even more useful and safe. Plus, they also help you quit your habitual smoking. Smoking mint will not give any narcotic effects - there are no narcotic components in this plant. The maximum that a “herbal smoker” can get is to experience unusual taste sensations.

From "Freedom from Equality and Brotherhood":

Is it possible to ban everything that blows the roof? Here you are, please, as an example, but not as advice ...

... Wormwood, which grows everywhere and which is insisted on vodka, getting home-made absinthe - is banned in some places in Europe, but not in some places. But how can we ban and control the weed?

... Citramon with port wine. Night of nightmares with glitches is practically guaranteed.

... Dichlorvos with beer (two "zilch" per mug).

... Belladonna (Atropa Belladonna) from the nightshade family. It grows everywhere in the wooded hills of central and southern Europe. Contains atropine and scopolamine, that is, hallucinogens. The content of active substances in the roots is slightly higher than in the leaves. Both are crushed, dried and smoked or simply swallowed with water. The grass is bad because it is very toxic and, they say, can cause fatal poisoning.

... Calamus (Acorns calamus). It grows along the banks of rivers, lakes, swamps throughout Eurasia and North America. The plant is tall with long leaves. Its dried roots in small doses cause excitement and a surge of optimism, and in large doses - slight changes in the perception of the world and, they say, even glitches. The roots cannot stand long-term storage, losing their miraculous power. Experts advise collecting this legal hallucinogen in late autumn. The root can be simply chewed or brewed like a tea. The dose is selected empirically. By the way, North American Indians chew calamus in order to invigorate and for oral hygiene.

...Belen (Hyoscyamos niger). The expression “what, did you overeat henbane?” arose out of nowhere. Grows in wastelands. In Africa and India, dried henbane leaves and seeds are smoked. The root is brewed. Hallucinogen.

... Catnip (Nepeta catoria). The name is not accidental. Cats love to chew mint just as much as they love valerian. The active substances - metatabilacetone, nepetalic acid and nepatalactone - are found in mint leaves, which are smoked in a mixture with tobacco to achieve a marijuana-like euphoria.

... Valerian (Valeriana officinalis). If it works on cats, why shouldn't it work on larger mammals? Dose question! "Valerian is a classic hypnotic tranquilizer," one medical article on herbal medicine tells readers.

... Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora). Dried leaves and flowers are smoked. The taste is bitter. It is believed that it causes euphoria, however, for many people it does not work at all.

... Juniper (Juniperas Macropoda). On one of the forums, the girl shared: “if you properly brew juniper, then half an hour will shove, like good heroin ... although you can’t call juniper a drug.”

... Datura (Datura inoxia Mill). The name of the herb speaks for itself. They smoke dope, they drink dope, they even go crazy with it. Hallucinogen.

Here is how dope grass is described by those who have tried it:

“About four hours have passed since the adoption. Coming out of the bath, I wanted to take a nap. Waking up (30-40 minutes passed), I realized - the end! I couldn't move! Here came my parents and brother. Mother asks something, but I cannot answer - the language does not obey me. I absolutely did not expect this, because six hours had passed since the moment of acceptance, but there was no fear, rather, bewilderment. And suddenly, with a terrible roar, I was thrown into some subspace and immediately pushed back into the body. It is difficult to describe what I saw, everything happened very quickly and unexpectedly, it was remotely similar to space. There were no more hallucinations.

After that I fell asleep. At night, I had some dreams, but I remember one - I really wanted to puke. Didn't even make it to the toilet. After that, it became so easy and good that I moved into another dream.

In the morning I felt great. I got up and went to the toilet. Going to the toilet, I looked at the wall ... It turns out that the dream was not a dream!

I went to Seryoga, with whom we chewed seeds yesterday. His mother met me and said that Sergey was ill, that he was pumped out at night and now he is in bed. I went up to him, he had weakness and hallucinations, he was a little sick. He said that if you look closely at the wall, then it begins to sway ...

Seryoga told how he got home. He began to hallucinate already on the bus: on the back of the seat, he saw an energy structure like a web, and heaviness in the body came at the bus stop. How he got home, I don't know.

When I was returning home, passing through the underground passage, I discovered a new joke - everything was shining! It was very beautiful. Came home - and there the same. Shine all light and especially bed linen.

Finally, one piece of advice: if you decide to make a joke, then try anything, but not dope, if, of course, life is dear to you.

Datura is an evil herb.

... Finally, the red fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) already mentioned above. An excellent shamanic hallucinogen, which, however, can easily be poisoned to death in case of an overdose. Fly agarics are harvested, dried and eaten. Then, as noted knowledgeable people, “after 30 minutes there is dizziness, slight convulsions, sometimes nausea, then there is numbness of the legs and twilight sleep for two hours, with color visions and heightened sensitivity to sounds. After that, a surge of cheerfulness, strength and energy can happen. Hallucinations and size changes are typical. The whole session lasts 5-6 hours.

And here is what one of the reference books on herbal medicine says about fly agarics:

“Fly agaric is the way to longevity, rejuvenation of the body. Fly agaric causes a surge of energy, stimulates physical and mental endurance, and has the ability to quickly restore lost strength. It should be used for continuous use as a stimulant only in courses and in small doses.

The use of fly agaric as a drug began in Russia over a thousand years ago. The alkaloids contained in the fly agaric cause poisoning, hallucinations. The effect is that nearby objects appear either very large (macropsia) or very small (micropsia). Movements and convulsions are possible. Attacks of strong excitement are replaced by moments of deep depression. Amanita muscaria, unlike other hallucinogens, causes unnaturally strong physical mobility. The indigenous peoples of Siberia - the Chukchi, Koryaks, Kamchadals and others - widely used fly agaric: to communicate with supernatural forces, to predict the future, to determine the cause of the disease, and also just for fun during the festivities, when they were treated to guests.

By the way, I was surprised a lot by the list of diseases in which this red-to-white-dot mushroom is shown. From myself I will add that fly agaric is an excellent insecticide. No wonder it's called that! A very useful fungus in the household. And kill the bugs with flies, and treat yourself, and feed and cheer the guests ...

And how can you ban it, such a useful and ubiquitous one? This is not marijuana for you, for which a greenhouse needs to be built, it is on its own ... Here a man picked up a basket of fly agaric in the forest, he carries it home. Brought. Filled with vodka. Used.

When studying plants, you may come across unusual facts and names. Catnip is also found, what it is for and whether it is applied to people - this is of interest to pet owners.

Cat and catnip are 2 compatible concepts

Every cat owner has noticed more than once that when acquiring new toy, cats begin to actively play and chew with it. All this happens not because our pet liked the thing, but because inside such toys, as a rule, there is a herb that produces the same effect on cats as valerian. This plant is called catnip, or catnip. The grass got such a strange name only because cats love it.

Useful properties of catnip

Cat and catnip are 2 compatible concepts. No wonder this herb got its name. Quite often, veterinarians use catnip for medicinal purposes.

The grass got such a strange name only because cats love it.

Catnip for cats can act as a so-called behavior corrector. Some owners, through the use of this herb, cope with the excessive aggression of their pets. If you give a cat a few pieces of catnip, his behavior becomes more affectionate and calm.

At the same time, it is recommended to use catnip for a lethargic and lazy cat, who is used to sleeping and eating most of the time. Catnip has a positive effect on such passive pets and makes them more playful and active.

An equally important aspect is that catnip has a so-called bactericidal effect and can relieve stomach cramps in your pet and eliminate excessive pain if necessary. Experienced veterinarians say that catnip is considered a quality remedy for cats from stressful situations. Thanks to the intake of several leaves of this plant, your beloved pet will be able to endure long trips and trips to the doctor without fear.

The question may arise whether this herb does not affect a pet in the same way that drugs affect a person. Professionals say no. The most important thing is to keep the animal away from the grass every day in unlimited quantities.

Such alluring properties for cats of this plant contributed to the release of numerous toys for cats. The essential oils of this herb are often added to special scratching posts that attract the attention of cats. The owners thus save their own furniture and walls.

Veterinarians also say that dried grass can be used if pets have no appetite. In addition to all of the above, the plant has a fairly powerful antihelminthic effect. If this herb does not grow in your area, you can grow it at home. Its seeds are sold at any pet store.

Do people need a catnip?

Catnip can affect not only cats, but also people. The composition of this plant contains a huge amount of essential oils, which are very often used in medicine and perfumery. Catnip is extremely rich in vitamin C, thanks to which various decoctions and healing teas are made from it.

Veterinarians also say that dried grass can be used if pets have no appetite.

Catnip has an anti-inflammatory effect. Thanks to the use of this herb, inflammation of any kind can be eliminated. If it is associated with wounds, lotions and compresses should be made with a decoction of catnip. When it comes to inflammation of the internal organs, it is better to drink teas from this plant.

Pleasant mint aroma helps to calm the nervous system. We can say that catnip can reduce emotional overexcitation and eliminate stress not only in cats, but also in humans.

Often, catnip is used to eliminate unpleasant stomach cramps, colic and bloating. With a slow metabolism, this plant can also be used. Catnip is often used as a mild pain reliever. For example, if you have a toothache, and there is no opportunity to visit the clinic, then you can rinse your mouth with a tincture prepared from this plant, and the pain will subside for a while.

Often this herb is attributed in case of severe cough. This remedy stimulates the active expectoration of sputum from the bronchi. Often, doctors advise gargling with a decoction of catnip, as it stops hurting faster.

Many people are attracted to this plant in the same way as cats, so they often wonder if it is possible to smoke catnip in normal human doses instead of regular cigarettes sold in tobacco stalls. Numerous studies have shown that smoking this plant does not cause addiction in humans, like many drugs. But despite this, smoking catnip is not recommended.

Smoking often pushes people to different experiments. By and large, any dried and crushed plant can be wrapped in tissue paper, and in this sense, you can smoke anything. As part of their experiments, people try to smoke tea, various medicinal plants. Some do it in search of new sensations, others in an attempt to give up real cigarettes. Adolescents may likewise become addicted to smoking.

Why smoke mint?

One of the plants that often acts as a "filler" in cigarettes is mint. The characteristic pleasant smell makes mint attractive not only for cooking or perfumery, but also for smoking. However, it remains to be seen whether this plant can be smoked.

When trying to create a herbal cigarette, the choice falls on mint not by chance. This plant has something to do with ordinary cigarettes. We are talking about menthol cigarettes. True, there is no mint in them. Menthol is added to these cigarettes, a substance found in peppermint essential oil. What will happen if you smoke mint itself, that is, its dried leaves?

The effect of smoking mint

Since mint does not contain nicotine, it cannot satisfy nicotine cravings. As a medicinal plant, mint is believed to be calming and relaxing. However, for this it must be consumed in the form of tea or decoction, and not inhale the smoke from its burning. When smoking mint, a pleasant aftertaste remains in the mouth, but such smoking does not deliver any more sensations.

A much more dangerous option for smoking mint is when the leaves of this plant are treated with some kind of synthetic drug. In this case, mint itself acts only as a base that can be “hammered” into cigarettes, and the heady effect comes not from it, but from a narcotic substance.

Smoking mint does not cause any specific harm to the body. This means that the harm from smoking mint is not associated with the plant itself, but with the fact of inhaling hot smoke saturated with carbon monoxide and other harmful substances formed during combustion. Despite the presence of some harm, such smoking is still considered safer than smoking regular cigarettes. In this regard, special herbal cigarettes are created to quit smoking, which, along with other components, very often contain mint. These nicotine-free cigarettes are an alternative to pills, chewing gum or nicotine patches. They allow you to overcome the physiological dependence on nicotine. The psychological dependence on the smoking process remains.

Thus, we can say that smoking mint is quite acceptable. Compared to smoking regular tobacco, smoking peppermint appears to be safer, and as a result, it can help you quit smoking completely. If a person smokes mint for the sake of getting special sensations, then there is no point in this. Mint does not contain any components that can cause drug intoxication. The maximum that you can get if you smoke mint is an unusual taste in your mouth and the absence of a tobacco smell.

Effects of catnip on the body

Many young people are interested in whether it is possible to smoke mint? The answer is ambiguous.
In fact, this is allowed and not punished by the current legislation. However, before you take a puff, think about whether it is necessary? It is not known what the consequences will be, but the harm to the body will be enormous.

To prepare one serving, you need 100 grams of catnip. It is advisable to take well-dried chopped leaves for this. It is not necessary to smoke the grass to get the effect, it can be chewed or made into tea from it. Considering that it quickly turns into ashes, some craftsmen mix it with ordinary tobacco and even marijuana. In the latter version, the maximum possible hallucinogenic effect is achieved.

You can quickly dry any plant by putting the leaves on a plate in the microwave for 10-30 seconds.

Choosing peppermint is safer. In small quantities, it can relieve you of fever, migraines and cope with stressful situations. You don't have to smoke to do this. It is better to brew a healing herbal tea, taking only 30 grams of crushed dry foliage. Strictly speaking, smoking peppermint does not give the proper desired effect, except for an unpleasant smell and taste.

When answering the question of whether it is possible to smoke catnip, it is only worth noting that it can give some kind of relaxing effect, like valerian roots. Only for a moment it is possible to feel some joy, calmness and a floating feeling. But after that, a headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, fever and other signs of intoxication will immediately follow.

What happens if you smoke mint?

As the first testers note, smoking catnip is accompanied by a disgusting aftertaste and a subsequent specific smell that will accompany you for more. for a long time. In combination with tobacco, the smell at first resembles lemon balm, but only before it starts to smolder. For a short period of time, feelings become aggravated, lightness appears (you already want to flutter), colors become brighter, and sensitivity also increases. But the pacifying state in which you enjoy life does not last long. After that, I want to run, jump and frolic. There is a feeling of some panic. And in the end, an increased feeling of hunger with fatigue.

However, for these wonderful few minutes you will have to pay with a rather painful condition. To enhance the effect, it is better to smoke mint together with regular smoking tobacco. In fact, the same effect occurs as with the use of marijuana, but in a milder form. In some cases, mint is used to quickly give up cigarettes, because. at the next puff, nausea occurs, leading to disgust and moral rejection of such an addiction. The formation of rather caustic smoke cannot please either.

Peppermint has numerous health benefits, but if used as a smoking compound, be prepared for coughs, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Give your heart and lungs a boost.

Amazing euphoria, smoothly flowing into a surge of energy, passes after 15 minutes. For its extraordinary effect in some countries, this plant has already been marked as a drug, like marijuana and other similar drugs. With repeated use, a more persistent addiction may occur, which will be difficult to get rid of both morally and physiologically, as well as from nicotine with tobacco smoke. Therefore, it is better not to try at all and not to kill your body for the sake of a fleeting effect.

Now you know what catnip and peppermint are used as smoking blends. We recommend that you do not start trying something that will be quite difficult to refuse later, and will not bring much joy.

Peppermint, which is often confused with lemon balm (lemon mint, actually not being a plant of the genus mint at all), has long been successfully used in pharmacology. Peppermint is a cultivated hybrid of wild-growing species - water mint and garden mint, in which a person has strengthened beneficial features plants known to him since ancient times. It was obtained in the 17th century in foggy Albion; before that traditional healers used its direct relatives - cat and field mint.

Currently, peppermint is mainly used for medicinal purposes, due to the high content of terpenes, flavonoids and, of course, menthol - the famous mint essential oil. Important active substances are also limonins, bitterness, tannins, eucalyptus oil, rosemary and caffeic acids. Almost all parts of the plant are used, but mint leaves are the most popular preparations.
Mint, in addition to antiseptic and analgesic action, also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, relieves fatigue and removes the symptoms of irritability. Therefore, many drugs manufactured for smokers contain a mint component. In addition, the mint flavor provides healthy sleep and relieves headaches.

You can use mint different ways. For example, rub 10% oil on the back of the head and temples for headaches. Insomnia and nightmares (and this is unlikely to be avoided in the first time after quitting nicotine) can be overcome by filling the pillowcase of a small pillow with dried mint leaves and placing it next to the headboard. Peppermint tea tones up, returns the lost taste to healthy life and optimizes digestion chronically inhibited by nicotine.
They do it like this: a tablespoon of dried mint leaves with a slide is poured with a glass of boiling water. Then let it brew for 8-10 minutes, filter and drink. Fresh mint leaves are also good for making an herbal drink. Take 4 sheets per cup. They are washed, finely chopped, like tea leaves, and poured with boiling water. After half a minute, drain the water and pour boiling water again. After that, insist 2 minutes and drink warm.

It is important to remember that peppermint tea is an occasional remedy. Prolonged use can lead to unwanted effects!

In the pursuit of getting high, teenagers are sometimes ready to do really stupid and thoughtless things. What is most interesting, many of them try something new in the hope of experiencing an incomparable sensation. Read on for some of the strangest ways American teenagers get high.

The abuse of inhalants or "irritants" is an old American, one might say ancient, method of getting an inexpensive buzz. He has been known for a long time. Spray bottles can be found in most homes and are fairly easy to buy. But inhaling hydrocarbons creates a feeling of temporary paralysis and oxygen deficiency.

Another substance in the "irritant" drug category is mothballs. The gas given off by mothballs is designed to keep hungry insects away from your clothes. But it turns out that it also attracts teenagers hoping to get high. After inhalation, teens become uncoordinated and their skin may become "scaly" as the body tries to flush out the chemicals they inhale. In any case, this is stupid because. can lead to severe poisoning of the body.

This method stands out on the list because it is not a drug. Adolescents do this to achieve the same effect as when using stimuli.

Once blood flow to the brain is restored, the explosion of oxygen in the brain creates a feeling of euphoria. But as they say, you can overdo it.

It is supposed to be applied to your hands to kill germs. Some teenagers decided that they could drink it and get drunk. Some antiseptic gels contain over 60% ethanol. This means that a couple of drops are the equivalent of a couple shots of vodka. As with regular alcoholic beverages, this can lead to serious side effects, including impaired motor function, memory loss, damage to internal organs, and increased blood sugar.

If drug research hasn't shown you anything surprising about what teenagers are willing to eat, drink, or smoke to get high, meet catnip.
Most people know catnip as a plant that makes your cat act like an idiot. Catnip was actually used by people in the 1960s as an alternative to marijuana. The fad is back as teenagers use the cat drug to get their own high and take their cats' high. Eaten or smoked, catnip can cause relaxation, mild euphoria, or dizziness. Side effects include nausea, headaches and people making fun of you. If you notice a teenager meowing around a skein of yarn, be sure it's catnip.

Known as Hippie Crack, nitrous oxide is a very well-known drug. In addition, it is used by dentists and speed enthusiasts. The most accessible source of the drug is the dairy section of the grocery store. In jars of whipped cream, nitrous oxide is used to extract the product from the jar. The inhalation of this substance (nitrogen, not whipped cream) causes euphoria. But it can also cause frostbite, organ damage, suffocation and death. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that more than 700,000 teens used inhalants such as nitrous oxide in a year. But the data is not limited to teenagers. Even Demi Moore has been hospitalized after reportedly taking nitrous oxide.

Freon is a gas used in freezers and refrigerators. If you inhale it, you will get high. The teenagers found out that the usual home air conditioner also contains Freon. They reportedly use a screwdriver to inhale the gas. In recent years, technicians and repairers have reported an increase in complaints about the loss of freon in air conditioners. In addition to euphoria, freon can cause liver, heart, and brain damage, as well as death. It can also cause severe frostbite on the face and lungs.

There is a new term for the drug that is being used today - beezin'. This refers to teenagers who have found a quirky way to use Burt's Bees products to get high. Burt's Bees produces a line of natural and organic products that include toothpastes, shampoos and conditioners. Teenagers have found that using the company's lip balm on their eyelids can produce a feeling of euphoria. Experts believe that this effect is caused by peppermint oil. Side effects are not yet known, but the boredom that caused the desire to try this should be alarming.

This method does not require any substances, it uses music to get a "digital high". With headphones, a person listens to different sounds or beats in each ear. The result is that the listener feels a beautiful sound "inside the head". Some have reported feelings and sensations as if they were using marijuana or acid. Experts say music can disrupt the body's vital rhythms and sleep cycles.

Teenagers love to use things for other purposes. Over the past few years, there has been a surge in bizarre drinking practices. It turns out that teenagers liked to soak tampons with vodka and insert them where the sun does not shine, or pour vodka directly into the eyes. The logic is simple - a thinner skin membrane and a high concentration of blood vessels in these "certain" places allow alcohol to be absorbed faster. This is true, but the problem is that alcohol enters directly into the bloodstream at a higher concentration than if it had been first processed by the liver. This can lead to alcohol poisoning or damage to the eyes and chocolate eye.

Yes, that's right, nutmeg. Nutmeg essential oil contains a small amount of myristicin, a psychotropic drug. Teenagers eat, drink and smoke this spice to get some form of high. Reported sensations range from a slight "hum" in the head to hallucinations. Side effects sound more serious. They include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headaches and dizziness.

It's just stupid. In American schools, there is a prank when they are asked to eat something or put something up their nose. It turns out that now it has become fashionable to inhale sweets. The only thing to say about this "trend" is that one of the side effects is the possibility of nasal maggots.

Jenkem - human waste. Jenkem use reportedly began in Africa in the 1990s. The first information about Jenkem appeared at the beginning of this century, but soon the information was refuted, and everything was turned into a joke. Logically (if we can use that word in this article), inhaling naturally produced methane contributes to any “high.” However, if teens are willing to inhale candy and smoke nutmeg, we're willing to bet there's a group of teens somewhere who have tried to consume shit. The whole thing is so funny that it deserves to be number 1 on this list.

Made popular by rappers in the 1990s, Purple Drank, also known as "Texas Tea", "Sizzurp" or simply "Drank", is another substance that teenagers continue to use to get high. Purple Drank is a cough mixture mixed with Sprite or Mountain Dew and sometimes hard candy to add sweetness. This mixture is based on codeine, a drug found in cough mixture. Popularized in hip-hop culture and reportedly used by Justin Bieber, Purple Drank is mildly euphoric. It also causes lethargy and drowsiness and, if taken in a high enough dose, can slow down the nervous system and cause a person to stop breathing. High sugar content also leads to excessive weight gain and tooth decay.
