Catnip (Nepeta spec) Nepeta is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae and also known as catmints, and native to Europe, Asia and Africa and naturalised in North America. The tubular flowers can be lavender, blue, white, pink, or lilac, and spotted with tiny lavender-purple dots. The nepetalactone contained in some Nepeta species binds to the olfactory receptors of cats and is widely recognised for its ability to elicit euphoria in some, but not all, cats including domestic as well as large cats such as jaguars and tigers. The plant is also known for its medicinal properties and the use of catnip leaves and flowers in herbal teas was documented at least as early as 1735 in the General Irish Herbal. Medicinally, the plant has been used as an antispasmodic, carminative, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, sedative, and stomachic, and to diarrhea, colic, the common cold, and cancer. Catnip can reportedly be smoked for its euphoric effects.

Sage is a member of the mint family and closely related to rosemary. Its botanical name is derived from the Latin word "salvere," meaning "to be saved." Sage has one of the longest histories of use of any culinary or medicinal herb. Ancient Egyptians used it as a fertility drug and the Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides (~40 – 90 AD) reported that the aqueous decoction of sage stopped the bleeding of wounds and cleaned ulcers and sores. He also recommended sage juice in warm water for hoarseness and coughs. It was also used by herbalists externally to treat sprains, swelling, ulcers, and bleeding.

The opium poppy is an annual herb and one of the most important medicinal plants, native to Southeastern Europe and western Asia; it is cultivated extensively in many countries, including Iran, Turkey, Holland, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, India, Canada, and many Asian and Central and South American countries and has a tremendous impact on several societies as an opiate. A milky exudation is collected from incisions made in the walls of the green seed pods and the alkaloids are separated when dry. Opium and its derivatives are used in the pharmaceutical industry as narcotic analgesics, hypnotics and sedatives. Opium is used in the production of morphine and codeine, morphine being the raw material from which heroin is obtained. Opium and the drugs derived from it are addictive and can have toxicological effects. Poppy seeds are used as a condiment with baked goods and pastries and poppy oil is widely used for cooking, in the manufacture of paints, varnishes and soaps. Many older homes have opium poppies growing in their gardens. In 2006, the British government permitted the pharmaceutical company Macfarlan Smith to cultivate opium poppies in England for medicinal reasons in order to meet the high demand for morphine and heroin. Opium poppy cultivation in the United Kingdom does not need a licence but a licence is required for those wishing to extract opium for medicinal products.
