Living the High Life

Getting high is often frowned upon, but for thousands of years mankind has been using various naturally occurring substances to take the hard edge off life and make it seem more worth living for a few precious moments.  Whether your days are spent fighting for survival in a tropical rainforest or trying to keep your sanity in the urban jungle, one way of restoring a sense of meaning and value is to induce a sense of wellbeing through inhaling herbal derivatives.
 
With the advent of the internet many of us are increasingly turning to the ignition of herbal mixtures for that elusive and obscure object of desire, peace of mind.  There are kits of all shapes and sizes out there, often based on traditional designs, that deliver an effective legal high that is safer than that produced by alcohol and cigarettes, and which can actually be beneficial to health.  Vaporisers, for example, are now standard pieces of equipment in aromatherapy clinics.

All this kit, whether costly or cheap, works by heating a mixture of herbs either until it ignites or to a point just short of ignition.  Either way, mildly hallucinogenic active ingredients are given off into the surrounding air and collected, to be directed to the mouth of the user.  Equipment like bongs and hookahs filter out the harmful elements in smoke, perfuming and cooling it before delivery, whereas vaporisers heat the mixture until a vapour is given off, and this is considered by many to be the healthier option.
