I mean, what constitutes a drug is kind of hazy, but I’d say damiana. It’s a herb from the arid south of the U.S., and is brewed into non-alcoholic tonics, teas, and it’s also a pleasant smoke. Great alternative to both cannabis and tobacco, and it’s a solid tea.

The flowers are also cute.

The goosebumps you get from that part of a song

Runners high!

Being of use to someone else - something as simple as opening a door or something as hard as helping someone change a tire on the road. That karma is like a hit of the stuff I don’t do anymore.

This might sound weird, but sleep deprivation. I know it’s unhealthy, I only did it when young, but it was a rush to not sleep reading or gaming all night, then go to work/school. My record was 72 hours awake (Friday to Sunday) and while my head was wonky, and sometimes I would get very mild shakes, it was a high feeling still in control.

I’ve only felt a similar rush while fasting for several days, but for me it was much harder not eating compared to not sleeping.

Fresh clear water when you’re alarmingly thirsty.

Feeling loved and appriciated.

Like, have you ever gone on a sugar fast for a couple days then drank some fruit juice? That shit hits HARD.

Excuse me for my English. Approximately one and one half meters. Smaller highs are very ordinary but higher highs scare me

Eating your favorite meal you haven’t had in a long time

Finding things for people. In another life I’d be a librarian or detective, I guess.

The smell of wet rocks or the smell of water straight from the garden hose. I can’t explain it.

The “zoomies” I get post-run

When someone I’ve gifted food to sends me a message later in the day telling me the food, bread, whatever was sensational. It tells me that I’ve nailed their food preferences and tastes. I’ve done a good job.

Food is my love language and it’s how I like to say thank you and show appreciation.
