ok so i smoked 2 bowls of this root. for me, its effects were mild compared to weed, but also more clear-headed. It lasted only for about an hour. So i guess if you're looking for a mellow high alternative of weed, it would work; but i wouldn't call it "great."
*edit* smoked like 3-4 bowls from a different pipe, and now i feel as tho it has even lesser effects than i originally thought. before, the high seemed different and lasting an hour, but i now believe that was due to some of the remaining spice in my other bubbler. so now that i've smoked it again in a different clean pipe, i must say that for me, it was nothing like weed. tbh, now i dont even believe this root has any active chemical, because today i barely felt even any of the subtler effects, which lasted only a few minutes..in other words, it didn't get me high
