Probably not the best solution for long-term, you will eventually be stressed about eating too many calories, doing heart damage, etc. etc.
Actually, I've been in a few high fat/low carb communities - some of these people ate a very high fat diet and they had INSANELY good cholesterol levels and healthier hearts than before they started.

I have insane levels of energy and well being when I eat low carb/high fat.

I've heard that salvia is a legal drug, but I don't do drugs, so don't take my word for the high you'll get from it. I've never done marijuana, but I have drank and I don't like it. Chocolate is a great high though. Make sure it's extra dark. That stuff will get you going, probably because of the high fat content and natural caffeine. I wouldn't call it caffeine, it's actually a compound called theobromine. A feel good sensation will follow.

I just took straight Kava for the first time yesterday. It was awesome, like being intoxicated but with increased mental sharpness.

I've never heard it compared to pot, though. I think it's more like Valium. It can affect perception in really subtle ways, but it's not psychedelic like pot.

In terms of something quick and easy: kombucha tea

Long term: yoga, meditation, any kind of spirituality

Google "legal drugs" or "legal highs" and you'll get loads of info.

I'd like to say "screw the law" as I don't believe in illegal drugs and believe they're one of the biggest causes of society's problems.

However, due to the nature of this forum, I'll instead recommend my own favourite natural high, running.

Salvia, in various forms, is illegal in most states. Be careful with this, as it gained publicity recently and your state's laws may be different from those of any person on a forum.

Also, most folks have stated it being very intense, often unpleasant. Chocolate is a much better idea .

Quick fix: Eat a high source of fat like an avocado followed by a handful of almonds.

Highly recommended: Yoga- be relaxed all the time!

I'll take sex over drugs anyday!

Anxiety comes from your mind. Learn ways to retrain it. Learn new coping strategies. Change your outlook. Try mediation. Allow yourself time off and do something completely fun and selfish. Be willing to let go of the things you can't control.

Don't neglect your body. Eating poorly can make it harder for you to deal with things, and day-to-day frustrations will seem worse then they really are. Get a good night's sleep. Enjoy a back massage or relax in a hot tub.

Find something that is a wonderful escape for you. Some people love adrenaline sports like skydiving. Try auto racing. Some find their highs in running, horseback riding, or bodybuilding. You don't need drugs to feel a rush!

Someone told me about catnip tea a long time ago - I never tried it, but catnip sure seems to works for the cats!

I smoke pot most everyday. I love it,and how it makes me feel. Trying different strains, and collecting smoking pieces is a hobby of mine. I don't care if it's legal or not, I will always do what I want as long as it hurts no one. Infact I just smoked some white widow out of a brand new glass blown bowl, and it was delicious.

Phenibut has been great to me. Many people use it for social anxiety and nervousness. It's legal and OTC.

Oh my god. I had some kava tea, and I felt so weird, spacey and feverish and I had no idea why. I googled the effects of it and soon realized that I should only drink this before bed when I can't sleep...
