Foods You Can Use To Get High (10 pics)

Drugs aren't the only things you can use to get high. You can get high from all the foods on this list, but we definitely don't recommend it.

Nutmeg – Consuming 4-8 teaspoons of ground nutmeg might make you hallucinate, but will definitely make you feel awful. 

Sparidae Fish – If you eat the head of a fish from this family, things can get even weirder than they were when you decided to eat a fish head. 

Chili Peppers – It would have to be extremely hot, but that episode of “The Simpsons” when Homer is lead through a spiritual journey by a coyote with Johnny Cash’s voice might not be that far off. 

Rye Bread – When moldy, it’s home to a chemical that can make things pretty trippy. 

Coffee – Did you conveniently forget that caffeine is a drug again? 

Stilton Cheese – Consuming 20 grams of Stilton might make you see some SHIT. Which is cool, because that’s the minimum amount of cheese I’ll eat in a sitting. 

Mulberries – Eating unripe mulberries can make you hallucinate. You’ll want to avoid doing that if intense vomiting is something that you’d consider part of a bad trip. 

Poppy Seed Bagels – You’d have to a lot–like, A LOT–but it’s not like bagels are filling or anything.

Areca Nuts – Chewing Areca nuts is similar to drinking coffee or doing cocaine (depending on how much you chew). 

Stuff With Marijuana In It – This one may seem obvious, but apparently it isn’t to everyone. Take the cop below for example. 

8 Myths About Quitting Smoking

What you don't know about dropping the habit could hurt you. 

You know there are ridiculous amounts of health benefits associated with quitting smoking, but there are also a ton of misconceptions when it comes to actually kicking the habit. So if you or someone you know is hung up on one of these totally false beliefs, allow us to bust the myth so you can say goodbye to cigarettes for good!  

Myth #1: E-Cigarettes will help you quit.
A new study by the University of California in San Francisco found that e-cigarettes are not as effective in helping smokers quit as you might think. The review of 82 studies looked at the impact e-cigarettes had on users and discovered that people who smoked the electronic cigs were actually less likely to quit smoking than people who never used them. 

Myth #2: You'll Definitely Gain Weight
Trust us, those cigarettes aren't keeping you thin; in fact, one study found that smoking may actually make you gain weight. That's just one more reason to kick the habit for good. So why does this myth continue to persist? Well, it's true that if you compensate for smoking by snacking on unhealthy foods, your pants may be fitting a little tighter, but that doesn't have to be the case.  

Myth #3: Quitting is Expensive
Don't want to invest in pricey patches and medications to help you quit? Well, if you do the math, you'll see that they will eventually pay for themselves when you're not constantly buying cigarettes, says Marc L. Steinberg, Ph.D., an assistant professor of addiction psychiatry. Plus, he says, if you have life insurance you will pay much less on your premiums as a non-smoker.

Myth #4: Hookah is a Healthier Alternative to Cigarettes
If you only smoke recreationally--like when you're out on the town, for example--you might think that hitting up a hookah bar is a healthier alternative to getting a little buzz via cigarettes. But you would be wrong. A report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that smoking hookah is at least as toxic as smoking cigarettes and a more recent study by the University of California at San Francisco found that one night of smoking hookah significantly increases your exposure to cancer-causing carcinogens. Yikes.
 

Myth #5: Quitting After Years of Smoking Won't Improve Your Health
It's never too late to get the health benefits of being smoke free, says Steinberg. In fact, after just one year without cigarettes, a person can reduce their risk of heart disease by half, he says. And the benefits don't even take that long to kick in. Twenty minutes after quitting, your heart rate and blood pressure drop. And just 12 hours after your last cigarette, the levels of carbon monoxide in your blood stream normalize. Two to three months after quitting, you can look forward to your lung function and circulation improving.

Myth #6: You Won't Be Able to Deal With Stress Without Smoking
Although a lot of people smoke when they're stressed out, studies have shown that non-smokers are less anxious than smokers, and smokers who quit are less anxious than current ones, says Steinberg. So how did this myth get started? Steinberg says that when people are used to coping with stress by smoking, they might feel more anxious when they quit because they're not sure how to deal with their stress levels. But get this: Since nicotine is a stimulant, there's really no stress-reducing benefits that come with smoking. What might actually be de-stressing a smoker during a smoke break is simply getting away from their desk or a stressful situation and taking time to clear their head, which you can totally do sans cigs.

Myth #7: You'll Lose Your Creative Edge at Work
If you smoke to get a buzz before you get to work in the morning, you might not be doing yourself any favors. Even though you might feel that smoking gives you an edge or a jump on your work, smoking can actually keep you from working to the best of your abilities. Here's the thing, says Steinberg, smokers are more likely to take sick days and get sick more often in general, and if you're not at work or you're fighting a bug, you're not going to be as productive as you could be. Another bummer: Your boss and coworkers might resent the amount of smoke breaks you take because they could be keeping you from getting more work done, he says. 

Myth #8: You'll Lose Your Friends
Obviously you won't be able to pop outside the bar on a night out for a cigarette, but Stenberg says that he's never had a patient say that they've lost friends after kicking the habit. Though trying to quit when you're friends are puffing away can be difficult, try to avoid situations with friends where they'll be smoking and schedule a group shindig that does not leave room for cigarettes. And don't settle for cutting back to just a "social smoker."  

7 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Blueberries

It's a classic in summery fruit salads (not to mention one of our favorite year-round yogurt and oatmeal toppers), well known for its antioxidant prowess and low calorie count. But some of the blueberry's health benefits and fun facts aren't exactly common knowledge. Here are a few things to know about what just might be one of the most popular superfoods around.

1. Blueberries protect against memory loss.
A 2012 study suggested that eating at least one serving of blueberries a week slowed cognitive decline by several years. One possible explanation as to why came from a 2013 study in mice, which found that berries might protect the brain by clearing toxic proteins that accumulate there.

2. Maine produces more blueberries than anywhere else in theworld.
 
At least, according to the University of Maine.

3. They can be used as a natural food dye.
And legend has it that early American colonists boiled them with milk to make gray paint, according to the Produce for Better Health Foundation's Fruits & Veggies More Matters campaign.

4. The perfect blueberry should be "dusty" in color.
 

5. But don't wash off that "dust" until you're ready to dig in.
A rinse softens your blueberries, which can quicken spoiling, according to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

6. The blueberry bush is a relative of the rhododendron -- and the azalea.
 
And along more intuitive lines, also the cranberry.

7. Many blueberry-flavored processed foods do not contain any real blueberries.
Products like bagels, cereals, breads and muffins from brands like Kellogg's, Betty Crocker and General Mills were reported to use combos of sugar, corn syrup, starch, oil and artificial flavors and dyes to create their own mock blueberries, according to a 2011 Consumer Wellness Center investigation, the LA Times reported.

This Supermarket Just Introduced A 'Quiet Hour' For Customers With Autism

There's a slow-growing trend of businesses creating special time slots for customers with autism where they can freely browse without having to worry about the hustle and bustle of crowds.

Like this Australian Zoo that opened an hour early for guests with autism. It was a huge success.

Now, Autism Spectrum Australia has teamed up with the popular supermarket franchise Coles to introduce a "Quiet Hour" so people with autism can shop in peace. During this time, radios in the stores are lowered dramatically and the lights are dimmed. PA announcements over the store's loudspeakers are stopped (barring emergencies), as are noisy shopping cart collections.

Coles put a ton of effort and research into the initiative, which will test run in all stores until October.

"We have invested in training for team members to increase their understanding of sensory overload and how to best respond to customer needs. Although we have modified some of the physical and sensory stimulators in store, we also hope to achieve a 'no-judgement' shopping space for people and families on the spectrum, where customers will feel comfortable and welcome," said Linzi Coyle, Aspect Community Engagement and Operations in an official statement.

And it seems like customers are very happy with the "Quiet Hour," as people are commenting on Coles' Facebook page to let the grocer know that their consideration is very much appreciated.

Emily Dive's full post on not having to worry about the "sensory land mine(s)" her son faces when they go shopping is great insight into the struggles parents of children with special needs deal with on a daily basis.

Today I walked out of our local Coles (New St,Ringwood) with my son, and a trolley full of groceries. We spent 40 mins in the store, casually walking up and down each aisle selecting the items that we needed. The entire time we were in there, I was fighting back the tears. Today was a milestone for us. We filled a trolley!!! No mad dash to get in and out as quickly as possible only grabbing a handful of items. Lachlan was provided with such a positive experience in an environment that is challenging. Crawling under shelves, running out of the store, screaming, running, and yelling are our "norm" when we visits the supermarket. Behaviours that are his way of communicating "I can't cope". Today, these were obsolete. Today we walked side by side for the entire shopping trip, and the hardest challenge he faced was to make a decision about choosing grain waives or tiny teddies. Kudos to you Coles for your quiet hour today, and acknowledging your environment for people entering your store can be a sensory land-mine for many to navigate.
Once we reached the checkout, and Lachlan was hit with the rest of the shopping complex's sounds, lights, smells and people, he was off like a shot into a quiet store he frequently visits adjacent to the supermarket, whilst I normally shop alone due to the chaos he faces when entering the store. In tears, I left. Passing the manager on the way out commending the efforts of everyone on providing a space that many don't think twice about having to walk into. We are so lucky to have our local store as a pilot for such a great initiative. Please know that your acknowledgment of those who require the simplest of changes to environments to assist in making them more comfortable, is respected and appreciated. Thank you! 

‘We’re not going to f*ck Nazi losers’: ‘Babe’ website flays ‘racist pieces of sh*t’ who say women owe them sex

A website which advertises itself as a voice for women “who do not give a f*ck” has responded to the sexual fantasies of neo-Nazis following violent demonstrations over a Confederate War statue in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Writing for Babe.net, author Dana Schwartz noted that the white supremacist website Daily Stormer had enourcaged the neo-Nazis and other racists who marched on Saturday night to “go out and enjoy yourselves” later that evening.

“If you’re at a bar in a group, random girls will want to have sex with you,” the Daily Stormer advised. “Because you’re the bad boys. The ultimate enemy of the state. Every girl on the planet wants your dick now.”

Schwartz summed up the feelings of “all women” with one word: “BAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

In her column titled, “We’re not going to fuck you, you Nazi losers”, Schwartz rips those who backed the white supremacist actions in Charlottesville as “khaki-and-New-Balance wearing Cheeto-breathed ogres with bad haircuts and worse facial hair who think white men have it harder than anyone else right now and think the only people who understand them are the YouTube gamers who think saying ‘faggot’ is edgy, and brave.”

“If you’re a 20-year-old pretending to be a Nazi, you’re not a bad boy; you’re a racist virgin so humiliated by his own sexual inadequacy and terrified at rejection that you’ll blame your feelings of weakness on some unseen Liberal Agenda,” she continued, observing the irrational thought process behind the Daily Stormer’s post:

The people with Nazi flags at this rally are actually liberals trying to make us look bad. A girl rejects you? She’s a cunt who’s just looking for some guy to cuck. You’re too alpha for that. People at your college don’t seem to be celebrating you for the free thinking rationalist genius you are? They’re all brainwashed idiots.

This is your community. You are an alpha male, and the feminists are trying to ruin it. And if you do Trump Supporter right, you’ll get all the best submissive blonde pussy you could ever want. How fitting that Trump would be their deity, a fat golden calf in his phallic tower on his third beautiful wife, like a cartoon drawing of Playboy’s target audience in the 1950’s.

Schwartz concludes: “And so, I take it upon myself to make it very clear that women do not want to fuck the neckbearded neo-Nazi who fancies himself an edgy anti-hero whose only hobby is the internet. We see you, and we are disgusted by you. We are laughing at you.”

“The community will come together to shame you: your bosses, your colleagues, the girl you’ve had a crush on since middle school who seems to ignore nice boys like you. She doesn’t ignore you because you’re “nice.” She ignores you because you’re a racist piece of shit who hasn’t showered in four days.”

Teen alleges man sexually assaulted her on United flight — and the staff just let him walk away

A 16-year-old girl is speaking out after, she says, she was sexually assaulted while traveling alone on a United Airlines flight from Seattle to Newark, New Jersey, last month. She and her mother asked us to protect their identities in an interview you will see only on "CBS This Morning."

It was a big trip for the teen. She had won admission to a prestigious young women's leadership academy at Princeton, but she says her red-eye flight soon took a traumatic turn, reports CBS News correspondent Anna Werner.

"I knew what was going on but like, I just thought I was dreaming or something, like, this cannot really be happening," she said.

Sleeping on the overnight flight, she says she woke up to find the stranger sitting next to her, touching her.

"I could feel his hand on my thigh, and one of his hands had like, came between my legs and he was rubbing in between my legs and then he tried to put his other hand underneath my pants and I kind of woke up and was like 'What are you doing?'" she said. 

She reported it to a flight attendant, who moved her to another seat a few rows up. Still, she was terrified.

"I just felt like he could see me. Like he could see wherever I was sitting," she said. "There was just still so much time, like, I couldn't just leave the plane. I didn't have anyone. I didn't feel like there was anyone on the plane that could protect me."

When the plane parked at the gate in Newark, the teenager says everyone simply walked off -- including the man she says sexually assaulted her.

"I literally thought I was going to die," the teen's mother said. "I'm 3,000 miles away. My child says she's been sexually assaulted and I'm asking her questions and she's like, disoriented, I'm like, 'Where is he? Do you see him?' And she said, 'He just walked by me.' And I said, 'Get the police! Get United!"'

But when the teen's mother finally got a United terminal supervisor on the phone, she says, "The supervisor told me that United did not follow their own protocols. She said, 'You are the first person telling me of your daughter's assault. I don't even have a manifest, I don't have a report. I don't even know who he is or where he is."

Later that day, police and the FBI, which handles incidents in the air, did track down a passenger and arrest him: Vijakumar Krishnappa, a visiting doctor on a fellowship, according to one medical center. He's charged with one count of abusive sexual contact on an airplane. His attorney says Krishnappa "adamantly denies the charges and deserves to be considered an innocent man."

United did not answer CBS News' questions, including about its protocol for reporting sexual assaults, instead saying in a statement, "We take these allegations seriously" and are working with the authorities.

Family attorney Marc Lamber faults United. "The FBI wasn't waiting when the plane landed so the perpetrator, the man who engaged in sexual assault, walked off the plane with a free pass," Lamber said. The family is launching a campaign to raise awareness about incidents like these, the attorney said.

The FBI reports that, in 2016, it conducted 57 investigations into sexual assaults on airplanes, up from 40 in 2015. It's a statistic this mother never knew.

"If I had any inclination that she could be assaulted, I never would have put my daughter on a flight. I would have flown with her," she said.

"He had no right to touch me. He had no right. I guess I would say he took my peace of mind," the girl said. "I don't feel safe."

Krishnappa is out on bail and, if convicted, could face two years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He could possibly be deported.

The FAA told CBS News airlines regularly summon law enforcement to meet planes for alleged crimes, but it appears in this case that may not have happened.
