Does mint make you high?

Writer's Answer

I was just reading in Women’s World magazine that mint, or rather, the chemical menthol that’s in mint, creates a sense of euphoria. I have been seeing mint waters at Whole Foods and now, I’m thinking that these might be a perfect drink when exercising.

I suppose that if you are on a budget (and who isn’t?), you could just brew weak mint iced tea and slug tons of that down. Maybe that sense of euphoria will be enough to motivate me on bad days to exercise. I’ve seen on tv where even super-buff illusionist Criss Angel hates to exercise. He says he has the discipline to do it, because being in shape helps him to go above and beyond the usual stage tricks.
