Unbelievably Wonderful Damiana Experience

Being a heavy weed smoker (and having run out a few days ago), I was hesitant to try some Damiana a friend had just acquired from a local head shop. The only experience with legal herbal alternatives I'd had was with Salvia, and that is something I'd never do again. I went into this expecting very little, but I gave it a shot just so I could say I did. We used a new pipe that hadn't been smoked out of before, and loaded up some dried Damiana into the bowl. It wasn't a powder, it looked a lot like regular weed.. just a little different in color. It smelled almost of incense.

After a few hits, I could start to feel something very slightly, like a mild relaxation from taking just one or two hits of weed. But we continued to smoke until the point came where I actually turned down any more hits, as I was completely blazed! It was an intense high, very relaxing, very euphoric. At the time, I may not have been able to tell the difference between what I was feeling then as compared to actual green. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I'd ever had, and I certainly know recreational drugs inside and out. The taste isn't the best, but I'm still in awe of how deep the high was. It was a higher quality processed Damiana product, that I know. And looking at all these other people who have smoked quite a bit and still felt nothing, my only concern is that the low-grade garbage version of this herb is way too common. Quality really matters.
