Say morrowasted, did you try getting high on endorphins?
My favorite source of endorphins is 2 hours of workout followed by long hot saunas. A real natural high, and good for the sex too.
Keep it up 
Yeah I recently got into eating raw habanero peppers but I gave it up because I think it was starting to damage my stomach lining.

As far as I know only descendants of northern Europeans are likely to be lactose tolerant. They drank cow milk during winters as a source of calories and developed tolerance to it. No other group of people, to my knowledge, did the same. I am of Irish descent, but I think dairy still contributes to skin problems for me, and it wasn't hard to give up at all.

The only kind of cheese I was eating at the end was bleu cheese or gorgonzola cheese on my salads anyway. I just stopped putting it on my salads. It wasn't hard at all. Giving up yogurt was harder, but still not difficult.

buy local. Natural doesnt mean anything, and adding hormones to animals is now illegal

Yes they are. Not directly, but your body enacts a pretty strong response upon their ingestion. Hence the sweating and relaxed state it provides.
Believe it or not, Habaneros reduce the risk of stomach problems. I really couldn't tell you how it works, but research shows they prevent ulcers AND make them worse (if you do manage to get 'em). Not much is really known about the effects on the digestive system, except they're mostly acute.

Ah, like that. But I simply call that a capsicum trip. I do that when I cook up a bowl of Thai Keng.

Anything very spicy will cause an endorphin release if you eat enough of it. Try it. Eat a raw habanero in one bite. Then eat another. Eat as many as you can. Wait 10 minutes. You'll see.

Hmmm I will have to do more research. I was definitely starting to get increasing levels of stomach pain. At one point I was munching down 5 in a row in a matter of 15 minutes. Then it got to where if I ate even one my stomach was all twisted up.

However, the latest research concluded that the mere presence of the receptors did not mean the animals felt pain, but only triggered a unconscious reaction to the threat.
...
The new research also referred to a study done on fish which were caught with a hook and then released. The fish resumed feeding and normal activity immediately or within minutes and went on to show good long-term survival, which indicated they had not experienced pain.

Quote:
"Pain is predicated on awareness. The key issue is the distinction between nociception and pain. A person who is anaesthetised in an operating theatre will still respond physically to an external stimulus, but he or she will not feel pain."
https://scientiasalon.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/why-fish-likely-dont-feel-pain/
Quote:
Taken together, if the signal is strong enough and if sufficient information is transferred and integrated, then the feeling of pain emerges (at present, how this occurs remains a mystery).
In summary, to the best of our knowledge, for any vertebrate nervous system to feel pain it must be capable of transferring and integrating a certain level of neural information. I contend that such a nervous system must have, at least, the following organizational principles:
1. An attentional system to amplify neural information;
2. Distinct topographical coding of different qualities of somatosensory information;
3. The integration of different somatosensory information both between modalities (e.g., touch and pain) and within a single modality (sharp versus dull pain);
4. Higher-level integration of noxious signaling with other relevant information (e.g., emotional valence). This requires significant long-range axonal pathways (feedforward and feedback) between brain regions integrating this information;
5. Laminated and columnar organization of canonical neural circuits to differentiate between inputs and to allow preservation of spatiotemporal relationships. The lamina must be capable of processing inputs as well as outputs to either higher or lower hierarchical regions while maintaining meaningful representations of the neural information. The lamina must possess strong local inhibitory interneuron circuits to filter information;
6 Strong lateral interconnections (both local and long distance) between minicolumns to maintain integrity and biological relevance of processing in relation to initial stimulus.
I propose that each of these features is necessary but not sufficient for pain in vertebrates. On this basis it should be concluded that fish lack the prerequisite neuroanatomical features necessary to perform the required neurophysiological functions responsible for the feeling of pain. Fish lack the distinct topographical coding of spatiotemporal integration of different somatosensory modalities; they lack the higher–order integration of somatosensory information with other sensory systems; and they lack a laminated and columnar organization of somatosensory information. What, then, does it feel like to be a fish? The evidence best supports the idea that it doesn’t feel like anything to be a fish. They are non-conscious animals that survive without feeling; they just do it. There is nothing heretical about this idea. For much of our lives, we humans also exist non-consciously.
There isn't enough evidence to support a conclusion that fish do not feel pain. A link to the study is here and it even states fish most likely do not feel pain. Not to say the conclusion doesn't make sense, but there are serious limitations on our understanding of neurobiology.

How hot those are really varies a ton. Ive eaten some that were ok. Had some so hot though, that sticking a fork on one and licking it made it feel like someone was cutting my mouth with razor blades for almost an hour. You know its bad when the pain gets worse on its own half way through. I think it depends on where & how they're grown
