The cannabis plant contains the psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol THC. It makes people feel euphoric and relaxed and can also alleviate pain.
The flowers of infertilized female plants contain particularly high amounts of THC, that's why they are taken for producing marihuana. Some cannabis species do not contain any THC at all and are grown for fiber production. Opium poppy Papaver somniferum produces - you guessed it - opium. To harvest it, you simply incise the capsules and let the white latex exude and dry.
Opium contains high amounts of morphine, the strongest existing pain medication. A chemical variation of morphine provides the semi-synthetic drug heroin.
Mushrooms are chemical artists - some of them even produce psychoactive substances. Among them: this grey-coloured Pluteus salicinus. It grows on wood and contains psilocybin, which causes visual and mental hallucinations similar to LSD.
Side effects are nausea and panic attacks. Leaves of the coca plant harbour chemical compounds similar to cocaine. They alleviate pain and act as stimulants. In many countries in Latin America, chewing on raw coca leaves is quite common. It helps tourists deal better with altitude sickness, too. By fermenting and drying the leaves and processing them chemically, cocaine is produced. Angel's trumpets are beautiful to look at but you should refrain from tasting them.
All parts of the plant contain alkaloids - chemical compounds with strong effects on the human body. When you eat or smoke the plant, your heart rate will increase and you will start to hallucinate.
As with all natural drugs, finding the right dosage is difficult. Deadly accidents occur quite often. On the internet, poisonous Datura plants - also known as thornapples - are advertised as natural drugs as well. Really not a good idea: The plant induces strong hallucinations, sometimes with a complete loss of reality. People tend to hurt themselves severely under its influence. Argyreia nervosa is native to Asia, even though the plant is called Hawaiian baby woodrose.
The seeds of this climbing vine contain ergine, a compound similar to LSD. It causes colourful visions and euphoria but also nausea, prickling and psychoses.
Overdosing can happen easily as one seed alone already has a strong effect. The peyote cactus in Mexico and Texas is full of mescaline, a hallucinogenic compound that is illegal under the international Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
Mescaline alters thinking processes and one's sense of time and self-awareness. The cactus is cut into pieces and eaten or boiled into a tea.
The cactus species is now listed on the Red List as vulnerable. Nutmeg in high amounts can act as a drug, since it contains the hallucinogenic compound myristicin. Here's a rundown of everything you need to know about smoking in Germany, including statistics, information on the buying and selling of tobacco products, and a comprehensive rundown of the laws and regulations that govern smoking in the German federal states.
Germany has a reputation for being a country that takes a relatively lax approach to smoking, but how true is that? Since the s, the number of people who smoke in Germany has been on a constant decline - although a slow one. In particular, the number of younger smokers, aged between 12 and 17, and between 18 and 25, has declined significantly over the past 20 years. However, despite this, around 28 percent of the German population still smoke cigarettes or vape. And it's not just that a high proportion of the population are smokers - they also smoke a lot!
Germany is the 32nd smokiest country in the world, according to a survey by the Tobacco Atlas. The ranking estimates that the average smoker in Germany consumers around 1. According to a microcensus by the Federal Health Monitoring information system Gesundheitsberichterstattung des Bundes , 30,7 percent of people aged between 30 and 35 are smokers, the highest proportion of any age group.
People aged 75 and older smoke the least, with only 5,4 percent of people in this age group smoking either occasionally, regularly or heavily. Men smoke more than women in Germany, with it estimated that around 27 percent of men smoke, compared to only 20,8 percent of women. Studies have found that the average age people begin smoking is around However, fewer people start smoking as they get older. Smoking is the main cause of lung cancer in Germany, with four out of five lung cancer deaths attributed to smoking.
Overall, around This amounts to around 15 percent of all deaths every year. Cigarettes and rolling tobacco can be found pretty easily around Germany, and you can buy them at most supermarkets, gas stations and tobacco shops Tabakladen , as well as at cigarette vending machines.
Tobacco shops usually stock a variety of tobacco products, including cigars, hookahs and rolling equipment. The sale of tobacco products is strictly prohibited to anyone under the age of Any establishment selling cigarettes must clearly display the regulations and restrictions regarding the sale of cigarettes at all times and employees involved in the sale of tobacco products are legally required to check the age of customers if they are in doubt.
Similarly, cigarette vending machines require an ID such as an ID card, not a driving licence before they can be used. It is also against the law to sell any product containing less than 19 cigarettes or 30 grams of loose tobacco and as such, the tax strip on the packaging must be kept intact.
E-cigarettes and vaping equipment are also widely available across Germany. They can be found in most places that sell tobacco products, as well as in specialist vape shops. The sale of e-cigarettes and vaping equipment is also restricted to those aged 18 and above. The average box of 20 cigarettes costs between 5 and 8 euros in Germany, with prices varying depending on the brand and the type of product. The price of tobacco products has risen steeply over the last two decades due to an increase in tobacco duties and taxation.
As of March , the excise duty on a packet of 20 cigarettes was 3,19 euros, and with VAT added the total tax was 4,09 euros.
