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.
