7 Interesting Ways To Get High Without Taking Drugs

“If you don’t drink or smoke, what do you get high on?”

This question is frequently faced by people who do not drink or do drugs. They are considered as an alien species by most of their friends. In most parties or get together, they end up taking care of their friends who are way too high and they’re also blamed for eating up the munchies (aka the chakhna)!

Quite often they’re told, “You don’t know what you are missing out on,” “you don’t know how to relax or take a break,” “once you know how it feels to be high, you will understand why we do it.”

But they stick to their principals and honestly, most people are secretly proud of them for not giving in to the peer pressure. Nevertheless, there are days when they begin to think what the fuss is about. Their strong morals won’t let them do the mainstream things that their friends get high on, and for them and for everyone else who is interested in something really cool, here are some lesser-known ways in which you can experience the high:

 

1. Binaural beats

You can easily download various sound clips available on the internet of different frequencies that are close to each other (say 400 Hz and 410 Hz) and play two different frequencies after putting on the headphones. Your brain will automatically create a binaural tone of the difference in frequency (10 Hz). This tone will echo in your head for a while and you will experience a drastic change in your mood depending upon the music that you have selected.

This practice has its roots in ancient Hinduism (of course *smirks*). This is like an extremely conscious form of having an intercourse where your energies combine and lead you to a state of trance. It is a combination of brainwave alteration, pure pleasure, meditation and energy combination with another soul. If you have seen the movie ‘Valley of flowers’ featuring Millind Soman and Mylene Jamponoi, you will know what I am talking about.

Remember the sleep thing in the movie Avatar? This is a lot like that. There is a closed tank full of saturated salt mixed with very little water. You lie down naked in the tank and close the tank with some an oxygen outlet. Eventual you will feel like you are falling asleep, but you won’t be able to. And then you will enter a state where your body will remain still and you will be able to move around through your mind. This floating state is extremely calming and the isolation tanks are available in many places in the states.
