Not being a partaker, I assume this was a good hit?

I dunno. It seems to have had its desired effect. If that was a good one, I'd hate to see a bad one.

It looks like she's smoking opium, based on her response... never seen weed do that, but large hits of opium has made me dizzy like that before.

Comment from Facebook:

Nope. Vietnam. Thats a dieu cay ("farmers pipe"-and its a water pipe;) Not close to weed tho. Not Salvia either. Or opium. This is called "nicotiana rustica" or thuoc lao. Has a very very high nicotine content (around nine times that of nicotiana tabacum, which is normal tobacco leaves which contain roughly 1-3% nicotine, where as nicotiana rustica has roughly 9%). Plus it also has maoi harmala alkaloids. They use this for ayahuasca in some parts of the amazon. Not for faint of heart or those with extra money. A bag like that containing around 5 to 8 hits runs around .15 cents in american currency and the larger bags that have a lot more go up as high as $1.25. Inform your SELF instead of relying on others to do it for you, sheep. Especially when youre talking about backtracking the progress weve made in this country regarding marijuana policy.

Yeah it definitely makes you dizzy/gives a buzz if you're not used to it.

I almost hit the deck once when we were smoking cigars and I was convinced to repeatedly dunk it in the Bourbon or whatever brown liquid we were drinking. You get about 10 X as much nicotine that way. I was not unfamiliar with cigars either, smoking 4 or 5/week. There was nothing fun about the buzz though.

Is this what they mean when they say "get down."

" When I was young I used to take drugs to get high. Now I'm old and I take drugs to stay alive."
