Different people have different brain chemistry so maybe that's why some people claim to get high off of opiates, others prefer amphetamines, and some even benzos.I take Xanax as needed to sleep at night (occasionally Valium during the day) and I can't say they give me a traditional high as in a lot of energy and euphoria. But when I'm stressed out, they make me sort of not care, which is a nice feeling.
