I got high on catnip...it was like one of those legal herbal smoking blends that only gets you high for as long as you are inhaling the smoke
LOL! I think that's called hypoxia or perhaps asphyxiation, depending on the length of the hold. It's the oxygen deprivation and brain cell death from the extended breath holding that gets you "high," not the catnip.
I love catnip tea personally. I also love to watch my cat on catnip, she has so much fun tripping out.
