I bought quite a large baggie of catnip which claimed to be organically grown and extra potent. I am not sure if that was true, but regardless I was bored and was very interested in seeing if catnip could produce any significant effects. I wanted to get Nipped.

I first began by vaporizing a few trenches in my mini vaporizer while brewing a cup of tea containing quite about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the catnip. I drank this and began to brew another with the same amount of nip, all the while taking hits from my vaporizer. Drank this cup and brewed another and drank it. Overall I had drunk three cups of tea, vaporized about seven trenches of catnip over the course of three and a half hours.

I did not feel any effects whatsoever for the first 3 hours. I was disappointed and decided to browse and listen to some Bowie. About 15 minutes later I started to feel some mild, mild, mild effects similar to marijuana. There was no head high and it was much more of a mild body relaxation/sedation. I must emphasize mild
I must emphasize mild
once again because I doubt that everyone will recognize these effects as anything more than placebo. However, I have had a moderate amount of experience with marijuana and would say that this relaxing/sedated feeling is about 1/25 as powerful as the high from marijuana. It is a tangible feeling in my opinion.

I will not be using catnip again, after using marijuana it is like playing in a kiddie pool after swimming in an ocean.
