Opium Incense ?!
Question:
Opium Incense ?
Hi, my friend gave me a few Opium incense sticks that were hand rolled in India, I lit a couple and started feeling extremely relaxed and sleepy within five minutes, I was wondering if anyone knows if they actually have Opium in them or is it just relaxing herbs.
Answers:
that's just a placebo effect... you thought that it might make you feel high... so you encouraged your brain to release endorphins... i have no doubt that you're high but it's not because of the incense... it's because you thought that it might make you high...
i once did a medical study where i had my wisdom teeth removed... afterward we were given 6 large pills... one out of 7 people received an experimental pain medication... one out of 7 got the placebo (sugar pill with no medication in it) and the other 5 people got approved pain medication...
after taking my 6 pills 15 minutes passed and suddenly all of my pain was gone... i felt wonderful... was no longer nervous... i thought that I'd gotten something really good... but 2 months later i was told through a letter that i had been given the placebo (Pfizer legally has to let you know what medication you were given)... i couldn't believe it!! but my own brain had released the same chemicals that the drugs would have and i had felt awesome!
