I actually smoke catnip.

this is a very intresting topic for a few good reasons.

1. Normaly catnip itself has apparenly none of the same effects it has on cats, on humans.

2. The above point aside, people like myself, (you may want to look at my profile to understand better) for some odd reason are effected by it, and this is not somthing that is a "mental" reaction because i know its catnip. (ie i know its cat nip so the brain sets the body up for the "requiered reaction") because its quite not the case. I don't know how many of you have ever smelt freshly crushed catnip right from the plant, I have always had the dried stuff, as like the other person in this post i do also smoke it from time to time.

That said, one night i was at a friends house, he happenes to have a rather large catnip plant, and unbeknowns to myself he whent and picked some and crushed it in his hand, and the came up behind me and held it under my nose. the people sitting around me said that they had seen nothing like it, on the first inhail apparently ones eyes whent all glased over, and his pupils dilated rather quickly, and became a fair bit disorentated, yet very relaxed.

All this in the space of a few seconds and one small inhail, so i don't know what you all want to make of it, but there you have it. Ido find that my fellow feline friends are in some way or anothers effected by catnip... odd.
