Is it true that you can get high from eating certain foods?

Question

My friend the idiot said that most drugs consist of chemicals, transmittors, and hormones that are already in our body and that everyone has different reactions to them, including adverse reactions, and that where some drugs may not even have an effect on some people, others have been so sensitive as to get reactions from different combinations of food or drinks. Is she nuts?

Answer 1

i think your friend was high when he/she said that

Answer 2

She didn't state it accurately but there is truth behind her main points.  You can get high on some foods and people are affected differently.

Answer 3

I have heard many things, and I would guess it would depend on what you catagorize as "food".  Nutmeg is a spice, but I have heard it is also a halucinogen if you eat enough.

Copied from wikipedia:

In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. Large doses of 60 g (~12 teaspoons) or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain[1] In amounts of 10-40 g (~4-8 teaspoons) it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria. Nutmeg contains myristicin, a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor.

Answer 4

there are different types of highs, you can from certain foods. here's one that you have probably had. A sugar rush. Thats a type of high. But if you mean like drug high. Shrooms my friend :)
