I have smoked catnip with my friends, and to my amazement none of them say it works, but if smoked in large amounts it definitely does something, it is up to you all to decide whether you like it or not, but i agree the taste isnt amazing and it is very smoky, but its a good replacement for other more serious drugs or addictions. I also think, just like cats it only has an effect on some people, because i am sure i have felt it while others say it tastes like shit.
