Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I honestly had a bit of a favorable bias for this product, as Edge 77 has made some pretty great stuff in the past. I like their containers, I like their labeling. I think they’re slick and the product is always fresh, no matter what I order. That said, the Damiana was no exception. It showed up in the pictured container, in professional packaging and with a business card. The container does reseal, and it keeps the herb plenty fresh throughout use. The product is sold by the ounce (no surprise there, honestly), and it is good for about a month’s worth of joint rolling at one to two joints a day, though I suppose that would vary depending upon how large a joint you roll.

Product Administration

I only smoked this product as a joint, and while I experimented a couple of times mixing it with tobacco, I felt it was a good enough high by itself, so I typically smoked it alone. A joint would last me almost a whole day, unless I weren’t working, then I rolled two and two did it for me. The smoke is thicker, and part of the experience, is letting it burn a little (almost like an incense).

Product Effects

The onset is fairly quick, much like smoking a cigarette or marijuana joint. I felt a buzz almost right away. Maybe a good way to describe it would be…a light, body-relaxing feeling, combined with a good side of mental stimulation. Each few puffs would last me a good 20-40 minutes before I’d even think about it again. It is easier to talk to people while on Damiana, and it is a very good social buzz. There is no real after effect or hangover-like effect. No crash or real drag. The smoke lingers some, but other than that, it’s mostly a good time. Maybe a tad bit more tar-producing than tobacco, but nothing that isn’t tolerable.

Final Thoughts

Damiana is its own sort of unique high. It’s kind of a stimulant, but kind of a relaxant. I know a lot of cultures use it as a marijuana alternative, but honestly it is much better employed as a tobacco substitute. Sometimes it is actually mixed WITH tobacco to create unique smoking blends, but I preferred it straight up in a joint. The aroma is thick and it sort of lets you hot box an entire room all by yourself. The smell is nice and the way it lingers adds to the experience. Although it isn’t a really crazy high, it’s most certainly a legal, psychoactive herb that provides light, relaxing effects that are still mentally stimulating. The price at Edge77 is reasonable considering it is a higher quality Damiana (a requirement to be able to actually feel anything). If we were talking about rating this product in terms of other Damiana products, it would be a 5 star product, the best of the best, however, it is being ranked a 3 star because it competes with legal highs that are still much better.
