The Chile Pepper Counterculture
------------------------------- (by Robb Walsh) Endorphins, those natural drugs that are 100 to 1,000 times more powerful than morphene, are released into our brain when we eat hot chile petters, according to a New Mexico University scientist. Like other psychotropics, including peyote, coca and tabacco, chile peppers alter our state of consciousness. In the case of chile peppers the high is non-hallucinogenic, but it is addictive. Experimental psychologist Frank Etscorn of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology told the New Mexico Chile Conference that chile addicts are hooked on endorphins. "We get slightly strung out, but it's no big deal," he says. Getting a runner's high without the running may be a bigger deal than Etscorn imagines. It also explains a lot about the perverse psychology of chile-pepper lovers. Eating more chile peppers produces more pain, more pain produces more endorphis. Maintaining a steady burn has been called "mouth surfing" by many observers of the emerging chile pepper counterculture. The endorphins and physical sensations that flood the brain when a chile addict bites into a pepper suddenly interrupt the thought processes and overwhelm the senses. This phenomenon has been described by doctors as a "rush." According to Dr. Weil, a physician quoted by Austin chile expert Jean Andrews, chile junkies "glide along on the strong stimulation, experiencing it as something between pleasure and pain that ... brings on a high state of consciousuness." . . . . . The overwhelming body of opinion indicates that the pain of peppers is intense but causes no real damage. That's why blistering or reddening is not associated with pepper pain. . . . But ... don't worry about hurting yourself eating chile peppers. The chemical capsicin is fooling your nerves into believing that they are burning in hell, when in fact nothing is wrong with them at all. And your dumb body rushes all those painkillers to those special receptors in the brain. That's a pretty good practical joke, huh? Pass the hot sauce.

those things are addictive and you can also build a tolerance.....u guys should see my dad. He brings little super strong one's (I can't handle 'em) in a baggy when he goes to restaurants. He takes out his stash from the baggy and just bits 'em up and puts 'em in his food.......my dad has a problem and the first step is to admit that you got a problem......it's sad but it's true, my dad is a hot peper junkie boohoohoo.
and the baggy thing, I am not making that shit up just to be funny, it is so true.....he's got baggies man...BAGGIES! (am I even spelling baggies right?) |

yeah don't do that again please
i made of those soda powder/vinnegar bombs in elementary school and a kid was temporarily blind in one eye for a week that was just vinnegar so nomore hot sauce in the eye please on a different note i dont like hot sauce that has been fermented for too long; they're real spicy and stuff but it has too much of a chemical taste most sriracha sauce chinese, thai or viet are the goodness but watch out for the cheap brands; they got that fakeness west indian/jamaican style sauce (the yellow kind) is super tasty also |

when i was a camper at camp, even as a c.i.t., we'd go around and fuck with all the other tents...
we'd usually vinegar or tabasco people in the mouth, to see their reaction in their sleep, i'm telling you, that was some of the funniest faces i've ever seen...but then the accident happened... we got a kid, one of our friends actually in the eye with tabasco sause, the screams he let out we're sick...we brought him to the bathroom and washed out his eye for an hour, after that he was fine, but he was ultra pissed, good thing he didn't rat on us for being out of our tents... i've also had the tabasco in the eye thing happen to me, i didn't scream like the other kid, but shiiiit, after running that thing through water for a fucking long ass time, my left eye looked like i had stuck a joint in it and let the eye smoke for a while... tabasco, eye , no |
