Up in Smoke: Mango Mamba

Forward

I am doing this blog, so that anyone who wants to try a new herbal blend, can hopefully find it on my blog, and read a little about it first. The reason for the recent legislation on herbal incense and spice, is because people have no idea what to expect from some of the stronger blends. I would like to help make that fear less scary. I consider myself a pioneer of herbal exploration. Yes others have come before me, but what is right for one person is not always right for another person. My blogs are unbiased, if I don't like something that I have tried I will post an accurate portrayal as to why I didn't like it. I hope you enjoy my blog, and if you feel I need to add something, or if you have any questions feel free to either email me at strummer_90@yahoo.com, or just leave a me a comment. Alright folks keep blazing and thanks for reading. :-)

Mango Mamba

Brought to you from the makers of Black Mamba Spice
This incense blend has some flavor added to it to make it especially yummy. I think it smells awesome, but taste like crap.

As you can see this blend has a very distinct color, well it is flavored. Now many consumers are saying I'm not going to smoke that its not a natural color, well let me ask you this:
Have you ever used the Juicy Jays drops to add extra flavor to anything you have ever smoked?
what is the difference? for all I know the flavoring in this blend IS Juicy Jays, now don't quote me on that, because I honestly have no idea that was merely a speculation.
Alright this herb does smell like a little cup of mango-e goodness. I myself do not even like mangos so this
is really trying something new for me. I loaded my awesome new mini Hookah and took my first hit:

It wasn't harsh at all it felt more like a smooth piece of gooey mango had slid down my wind pipe, and nestled itself into my lungs like it owned the place. I released and immediately started to feel a head change. I would rate my first hit at a 2, even though the aftertaste of mango was not in my opinion all that awesome. But again I don't even like mango, so maybe to someone else who likes mango this could be a very yummy blend. Ok as I continued to smoke this herb, three hits along I am thinking to myself well this is a crappy head change, not because the head change was light, but because it was not as heavy as I am used to for spice. So I took another big hit and then the mango hit me. I must have smoked too much or something because that was almost the worst spice trip I have ever been on. I couldn't stop shaking, I couldn't focus on anything at all, I was hot then cold and couldn't find a comfortable medium. I started to hallucinate. I could see the carpet moving and it was freaking me out, because the earth is not supposed to move like that.. So after about 15 minutes of this I said screw this and started eating, not because I had the munchies, but because I know the easiest way to sober up is to eat something.

After I had eaten a few things I was able to bring the high back to a tolerable state. In this state things were really fluttery and just mellow. I could look at something beautiful for almost 20 minutes without blinking. This high lasted about an hour, before it started to wear off and I started to get a headache.

So all together the entire high off Mango Mamba lasted 2 hours. I'm pretty sure my eyes were really red, because someone asked if I had been crying. I myself would suggest this herb in moderation to anyone who likes mango. I myself will not be trying this herb again, because I do not like mango.
