1969912 0 #1 June 12, 2007 really hot Mexican food gives me a really nice morphine-like buzz that lasts .5 hr or so. Supposed to be an endorphin related response, but no one I know experiences it.

1969912 0 #3 June 12, 2007 The effect must be pretty rare because I have never met anyone else who notices it.

divnswoop 0 #5 June 12, 2007 If you ever get to Key West go to the pepper bar there. It is like a wine tasting...but with peppers. The last time i took 5 people there, they came out and *swore* that they put "something" in the hot sauce because they had such a buzz on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1969912 0 #8 June 12, 2007 For me it doesn't really seem to be associated with stuff that is hot enough to cause pain, which supposedly triggers endorphins. The right kind or combination of peppers seems to work. Never had it happen with Wasabi, but I'll try!

1969912 0 #13 June 12, 2007 The big test will be tomorrow if I can find some of that snortable pepper extract! Might be mailorder only, but there's a granola/tie dye food store nearby that should have it.
