Did you know that there's a subspecies of scorpion called the death stalker?
While a great many people on the planet realize that the 8-legged creature aren't to be upset, some simply don't take the clue.
All scorpions are noxious, conveying crippling venom in their tails, yet some are more hazardous than others. Try not to let their size trick you - some scorpion venom is so powerful, it can murder a human.
Which is the reason it's to a great degree ridiculous to see another pattern picking up notoriety from Asia to the Middle East. Individuals have taken a getting a kick out of the chance to smoking scorpion tails. Clearly, the venom inside furnishes the smoker with a serious high.
Apparently the venom in a scorpion's tail provides people with an intense high that is very addictive. The poison's intoxicating effects are almost instantaneous and can last as long as 10 hours.

The first six hours of that high are documented as being incredibly painful. And it's understandable why that is -- you're body isn't used to having poisonous venom running through it!

After the excruciating pain subsides, though, the high is said to be euphoric, often causing hallucinations.
Scientists insist that people shouldn't be smoking the scorpion's venom because it has detrimental effects on the human brain -- even worse than most drugs. However, because the high is so addictive, the practice is gaining popularity.
Finding scorpions in these regions is also incredibly easy...and it's hard to outlaw a naturally occurring critter.
While scorpion smoking is rare on a global level, it's incredibly difficult to combat. Government officials are working on creating new laws that would ban the practice, and medical researchers intend on doing more research into the phenomenon.
