History of Legal Highs

Legal highs began to become really popular with the rapid growth of the internet.  Before that, legal highs were available if you knew people who personally grew a few herbs that were used to produce a minor feeling of euphoria or relaxation.  The science of legal highs has progressed a lot since then and produced two families of legal highs: ethno-botanicals, which are natural plants producing these narcotic effects, and chemicals which research scientists played around with to create products that give you a feeling of euphoria, increased energy or deep relaxation.

A lot of the drugs that were available legally in those early days have now been banned due to concerns about their side-effects.  In their place came a couple of main legal highs.  Largely, these were sold as mysterious powders in unmarked bags.  The control of what was in the powders was limited.

Soon, though, that changed when legal highs began to be sold in capsules, stored in packets, through reputable stores.  Caffeine tablets went on open sale on the high street.

In the first years of the 21st century, bongs – or water pipes as they are more formally called – have become the method of choice of ingesting legal highs for many people.  Legal highs consisting of plants and organic material are increasing in popularity among a wide range of people, not just clubbers and students.  These latest legal highs are inhaled through a bong or vaporizer and provide a sense of euphoria or extreme relaxation that can be achieved in no other legal way.
