What are the effects of mad honey?

Quick Answer

What are the effects of mad honey?

At small doses (half to one teaspoon), most users report warming sensations, mild relaxation, tingling in the extremities, and slight drop in heart rate. Larger doses produce more pronounced vasodilation, drowsiness, and can trigger nausea or dizziness. Effects typically begin 30–90 minutes after ingestion and can persist for several hours.
