That's funny about peppers. I know there is a buzz to them.. Indian parents at Chick E cheeses birthday parties used to have a double jalepeno pizza for the adults. One of the dads would say, that was very hot and all the adults would nod gratefully and enjoy a quarter hour high.

My dad told me working alcoholics would drink tobasco on the job.

I thought it was about vasoconstriction or something. I didn't know pepper was opiate releasing. But interestingly (to me, anyway) I've found I am sometimes very sensitive to spices. I thought it was high histamine only but this evening I had a sudden crash in mood and tracing it back cayenne was involved. I would have guessed peppers raise histamine which is why men who know feed wome spicy. food. If they act directly on endorphins...wow.

I liked being crazy like this when it was all about karate and sex. Now that its all anger and suicidality, its a drag.
