BODY WEIGHT: 185 lb

The other night, I really wanted to smoke some weed, but I had none. So I went looking in my herbal cabinet. There was some yerba in there and I had read online that it's a decent high, so I packed a bowl, and lit up.It took about 5-10 minuets to start to feel anything. The high was very similar to weed. I had that same feeling in my shoulders that I get when I smoke weed. Anyway, I was concerned because after about 5 minutes, I just kept getting higher, and higher for about 15 minutes. The only real difference between a weed high and the yerba high is that I can focus a little better, and my brain actually can function better, but I'm still really spaced out!The next morning I still felt it! I guess this is my new back-up weed!Overall, a good high, good up-time, and no withdrawls or crashes!
