Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)
A relaxant and a tranquilizer. Helps when in stressful situations, with high blood pressure and insomnia.

“hehe, ive both eaten valerian pills (way too weak), made tea out of leaves and thinner stems (also too weak, tastes pretty good) and dried roots to use like chewing tobacco. the later is pretty nice, but valerian is not a very potent plant
mostly used it in attempts to still my THC habit when ive tried to quit
its all about ur expectations, if u think u will get high will be disappointed imo, but if u only want something to elliviate insomnia it is a viable option”

“It's odd to me that people have such negative reactions to smoking Valerian root, because I had a great experience. Take a small bit marijuana (not even enough to get high, but just enough that will visually burn), moisten it, and cover it with Valerian powder. Let the powder dry for a couple minutes and then smoke it. I slept for 8 straight hours (which is incredible!) on a single toke.”

“Valerian is not be considered a drug but as a remedy able to ward of sleeplessness and general unrest. I've been taking it on and off for the past weeks to help me ward of the symptoms of hashish-depravation to which i have been somewhat addicted for the past seven years. If you feel you need to sleep, take some before bedtime and if you're having trouble recognizing its effects you might consider boiling a big portion of valerian powder into a sort of syrup, which I am sure by high enough doses would put down even an elephant. This concoction however does leave you with a bit of a hangover, but no worse than that of marijuana. Another sideeffect is that the manufacturing of this concentrated valerian-syrup might leave your house or apartment smelling like mold, sweat and dirty socks for the next couple of days.
It is also noteworthy that Thomas De Quincy was prescribed a tinctum of Valerian by his physician to help him conquer his opium addiction, this was as early as 1821.

“It didn't work. I took like 5 cups of tea and smoked a big joint out of it and it didn't do anything for me :(
[Answer from Azarius: That is not the way to take Valerian. One is supposed to use a small amount of it on a regular basis. Taking a large amount of it will not have stronger calming effects, indeed may make one feel even more restless. If you read the warning for this product, you would have read: "With intensive use it can cause headaches and restlessness."]”
