The hookah, marijuana and more

Some substances like marijuana are considered drugs and are taboo. They have been labeled as bad for the health, but in fact, they have many medical benefits. The hemp seeds, which are legal, are chock-full of antioxidants. The leaves are, too, but those are the controversial parts of the plant.

The hookah, meanwhile, is exotic but not usually seen every day. Substances like this offer more than sensory pleasure and, in the case of marijuana, good health, though. They are considered a bridge to another – some would even say spiritual – world. Bet cigarette and cigar reviews won’t tell you that. Ancient tribes – and even tribes now – use mind-altering states to connect with the divine and get some guidance, also for decision making of the tribe.
