People have been seeking the ultimate high throughout their lives and had ingested all sorts of chemicals imaginable throughout the history of mankind.

The list was based on the accounts of those who actually tried them, at least those who have survived to recount their experience.

1. Salamander Brandy

This is not the brandy made from the salamander. It is actually from what these salamanders produce. This is not sold commercially and is produced in Slovenia. This bizarre concoction is a mix of alcohol and the poison that the salamander produces. It is believed that its effect can rival that of Ecstasy and LCD combined.

2. Urine

Eskimos and some Siberian tribes were known to have been consuming human urine in the past. They collect and drink the urine of persons who have consumed the fly agaric mushrooms. It was reported that those who had drunk the pee of persons who ate this type of mushroom get a different kind of high.

3. C-4 Explosives

C-4 is described as a more effective type of explosives and is 1.34 times more powerful than the TNT. We all know this for a fact, but can we classify it as a drug?

Xenon is an inert and odorless gas that is naturally occurring within our atmosphere.

It is also used in anesthetics like Novocaine and nitrous oxide and results to hallucinogenic effects.

6. Catnip

This is a downer that produces a very interesting side-effect. Those who have taken this anti-depressant reported that they experience orgasm every time they yawn. In fact, a lot of people have been taking this regulated drug primarily to experience deliberate orgasm!
