  • Do you consume entheogens and thus ‘Generate the God Within’ ?


      


    If you crave chocolate, then you most certainly do...


     


    Chocolate is a psychoactive food with over 300 different constituent compounds.  Those of the greatest interest include:


     


    Anandamide: The Natural Cannabinoid (THC from marijuana being the non-endogenous cannabinoid)


     


    Chocolate contains small quantities of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid found in the brain. Sceptics claim one would need to consume several pounds of chocolate to gain any very noticeable effects; and eat a lot more to get fully stoned. (Emperor Montezuma allegedly drank 50 goblets of cocoa a day.)  Yet it's worth noting that N-oleolethanolamine and N-linoleoylethanolamine, two structural cousins of anandamide present in chocolate, both inhibit the metabolism of anandamide. (In other words, they keep it ‘around’.)  It has been speculated that they promote and prolong the feeling of well-being that anandamide can induce.


     


    Phenylethylamine:



    Perhaps chocolate's key ingredient is its phenylethylamine "love-chemical". (The celebrated Italian libertine Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) took chocolate before bedding his conquests. This was on account of chocolate's reputation as a subtle aphrodisiac.) Yet the role of the "chocolate amphetamine" is disputed. Most if not all chocolate-derived phenylethylamine is metabolised before it reaches the CNS (Central Nervous System) . Some people may be sensitive to its effects in very small quantities.



    Phenylethylamine is itself a naturally occurring trace amine in the brain. It releases mesolimbic dopamine in the pleasure-centres. It peaks during orgasm. Taken in unnaturally high doses, phenylethylamine can produce stereotyped behaviour more prominently even than amphetamine. Phenylethylamine has distinct binding sites but no specific neurons. It helps mediate feelings of attraction, excitement, giddiness, apprehension and euphoria. One of its metabolites is unusually high in subjects with paranoid schizophrenia.

    Birth Of A Candy Bar



    One payday, Mr. Goodbar wanted a bit o' honey. So he took Miss Hershey behind the powerhouse on the corner of Clark and Fifth Avenue. He began to feel her mounds. That was pure almond joy. It made her tootsie roll. He let out a snicker as his butterfinger went up her kit kat and caused a milky way. She screamed "Oh Henry" as she squeezed his peter paul and zagnuts. Miss Hershey said, "You are even better than the three muskateers."



    Soon she was a bit chunky and nine months later, Miss Hershey had a baby ruth.
