ROTFL!

There used to be a Thai place down south where myself and many of the local hippies liked to eat quite often.

While the food wasn't really spicy hot , or at least we usually ordered it that way, there was something about it that made one feel "high". Not psychedelic, not an endorphin release but something else. I have no idea what it was, but seemed to be something in the Tom Yum soup. (Tom Thumbs Blues, we called it )

We used to cultivate the endorphin high with **** dishes and many pitchers of water with limes up here at another Thai joint, but that's less mysterious.

But yeah, capsaicin = endorphins = high.

There's no mention of capsaicin in this bit of the CFR, at this point in time.


null24, I'm thinking that first Thai place may have used some good quality galangal. Then again, I can unequivocally vouch for the psychoactive properties of certain other culinary spice and herb combinations.

Cute find! From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaempferia_galanga#Extracts_and_essential_oils:

EDIT: there are a few different galangal spice plants. Another one is Alpinia galanga. The dutch wikipedia page for it claims that A. Galanga is considered a stimulant and an aphrodisiac in Indonesia.
