Many ways to get high

Here are many ways to get high.  There is the usual culprit (drugs) but there are also those addicted to sex or to adrenaline.  I had a vague idea that some foods could get us in a high.  I found a video that explore this topic:

Coffee, cocoa, mushruooms and poppy seeds bagels are no surprise.  There are a few items I didn't knew their potential.  I think I will keep clear of stilton before bed.   I have no interest in talking solf toys and guest being traded for camel.
Unripe mulberries should be more popular as a laxative.  I wonder if unripe mulberries are more laxative than prunes...
The chili peppers are the ones that I didn't expected to be on the list  I never heard of sarpa salpa.  Romans soldiers seems to know how to get the most of that strangely named fish.
I knew that rye could be intected by ergot.  Does it get infected today?  I would dare to try.  I think there is a beer made with that ingredient.  Something to look upon...
Seeing the nutmeg on the list made me smile.  It seems to be so inoffensive.

It was nice to see this video.  I am thinking to use that in some fiction.  It will use it my way, giving it a fun twist.  I am thinking about fine herbs, something similar of catnip for cats.  Also, some components used in pastis and absinthe (anis, fennel and wormwood (artemisia absinthium)).  It won't be a big part of the stories but it will add to the fictional worlds.
