high off spicy food?

XenaWP · 09-18-2004, 02:56 AM

Okay so yesterday I got stoned. Today like 15 hours later I went to boston pizza and my food was VERY spicy. One of my friends also got spicy food who also got high yesterday. My other friend who didn't get stoned with us ordered a non spicy food. Both my friend and I who ordered the spicy food felt very stange after and a little bit high. Do you think they laced our food with anything or our body had a reaction with the spicy food and the weed we smoked last night?

As a spicy food eater I would say yes, spice can make you 'high.' I once had a curry dish
so hot I started Hallucinating. I'm the kind of wacko who eats raw habaneros peppers for fun......

From regular experiences with very hot food I would have to
equate the ‘high’ with a runners ‘high.’ It feels similar.

Actualy, acording to Wikipedia spicy food " stimulates the brain to produce endorphins, natural opioids which act as analgesics and produce a sense of well-being. "

I too love really hot food. Capsicum (which is found in cayenne, paprika, sweet pepper, tabasco pepper, chile peppers, and a number of other peppers) actually causes a "high" in the user, and in Western medicine, it functions as the following:

Quote:

Abortifacient, aids in assimilating foods, alterative, anthelmintic, anti-fatigue, anti-scorbutic, antibacterial (topical), antibiotic, anticoagulant, antidote to poison, anti-infective, antimicrobial, anti rheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, benefits digestion, blood detoxification, boosts immunity, cardiotonic, carminative, circulatory stimulant, counter-irritant, decongestant, diaphoretic, digestive aid, emenogogue, expectorant, febrifuge, fumitory, gargle, hemostatic, improves metabolism,, increases appetite, invigorates blood, irritant, lowers blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, nutritive, opens the chest, opens the nasal passages, promotes sound sleep, psychedelic, purifies blood, regulates blood pressure, relieves gas, relieves pain and inflammation, retards aging, rubefacient, rubefacient, shark repellent, sialagogue, stimulant, stimulate gastric secretion, stimulates endorphins, stimulates saliva, stomachic, tonic, vesicant.

If that list is too hard to read through, some common uses for capsicum are for cold extremeties, poor digestion, colds and flus, topical cream for pain, baldness, dandruff, stroke and heart disease, poor circulation, burns, frost bite, abdominal pain, low appetite, gas, nausea, constipation and diarrhea, nasal sinus congestion, eye pains, sore throat (if you gargle it), headaches, vertigo, toothace, earache, fevers, cholera, wounds, muscle pains, sprains, snakebites, asthma, coughs, bronchitis, protection of the lungs from pollution and cigarette smoke, intoxication, hangover, etc..

It's used in some religions to ward off evil spirts (cayenne burned with cacao, or the beans that make chocolate), depression, emotional stagnation, lack of direction, procrastination, and resistance to growth.

Now to go more into cannabis and capsicum, capsicum can enchance drug absorbtion, potentiate anticoagulants, increase theophylline absorbtion; it also stimulates endorphins like HappyMan was talking about.

Quote:

According to Dr. Irwin Ziment of the UCLA School of Medicine, the hot, stinging sensation that follows biting into a chili pepper triggers the release of endorphins by the brain, chemicals that relieve pain and can cause a mild euphoria.

Wow thanks guys. Strange that it can do that. Even stanger though is that that has never happened to me before and I always eat spicy food even more spicy than that. Haha stomach ulcer here we come. But I'm sure the fact that I smoked pot the day before had an effect on it.
