Getting high in the shower

Interesting tidbit...
Morning gets off to good, wet start February 6, 2007 - Free Press
Ever wonder why, when you skip your morning shower, you can't seem to get going, can't shake the sluggishness that stalks you from your sleep?
Ever had a creative thought while the water cascades down your back?
It's not happenstance that a morning shower energizes you, promotes insightful thinking and makes your skin tingle.
"Being in warm water is a very pleasurable experience, and pleasure is mood-elevating," says Philip Rainer, who works at Karner Psychological Associates in Guilderland, N.Y. "Our energy rises as we experience pleasure. It helps to get us alert and awake and in a better mood."
There's a scientific explanation for that, says Frank Rice, a professor in the Center for Neuropharmacology and Neuroscience at Albany Medical College.
When you take a shower, he says, the warm water running over your body stimulates nerve endings in the epidermis, the outer layer of skin.
"We recently discovered that the cells of the epidermis, called keratinocytes, contain natural opium-related compounds known as beta-endorphins," Rice says.
Beta-endorphins cause a pleasurable sensation when released in the brain.

One of my pipes broke last night so I can't take a shower this morning.
This was just what I needed to read.

wow you know im actually not surprised by this. very rarely do i have a slow or bad morning because i pretty much shower every single morning as soon as i wake up. and i admit it does get me sorta buzzin about the upcoming day i guess. fascinating article

Nothing like a wake & bake and then hop straight in (as I did this morning )
Only thing better is dosing some opiates and then hopping in

I'd say showers are a pretty good potentiator for everything, nothing better than a shower while on MDMA, feels pretty strange on lsd though.

Showering on shrooms is amazing. The cleanest i ever felt, both mentally and physically when i got out.
Sounds also sound amazing in the bathroom

Well I got my pipe fixed so yay! I can get clean again now.
Personally, any time I try a new psychedelic I like to shave and shower after peaking. Shaving in particular seems like one of the most intimate things you can do to "get to know" the substance. You just gotta be careful. You don't want to end up with little Japan flags all over your face.
