I've experimented with many of the drugs and herbs mentioned in the article. Many of them have an almost identical "feel" though they may be working through different pathways. Gingko is almost instantaneous, lasts several hours and has no jittery side effects. It is also very cheap and is a powerful anti oxidant. It gives a nice rush and could be taken just for mild pleasure in my opinion. Note the dose is cumulative so you take less and less each day to achieve the same effect. At the moment I take a tiny fragment of one tablet.
St. Johns Wort has a similar effect, though too much can lead to headaches and photosensitivity.
Lemon oil has a revitalising quality to it too, but I found rosemary useless and lavendar makes your room smell like a hospital toilet.
