The long term health effects of "Happy Shaman" and other herbal alternatives are largely uknown due to the fact these products are new to the market, untested and frequently change ingredients. The effects on the lungs and respitorary system are believed to be no greater than smoking cigaretts. Most of them contain additives that are not found in natural herbs and are not intended for human consumption. The researcher behind the main ingredient said, "It shouldn't be out there" in public. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-05-24-k2_N.htm) Although herbal alternatives are legal in many states they are sold as incense and therefore never underwent FDA testing. There is no recorded overdose from herbal alternatives, however these products are relativly new to the public. Herbal alternatives are believed to be safe for monitored, periodic use but remember they are just that, an ALTERNATIVE to the natural.
