Is there such a thing as a natural high?

Question

i heard that yoga, hiking and even buddhism can give a person a drug free high

Answer 1

there is an optical illusion which gives the effect of a hallucinogen (pot, Ecstasy, etc...) you can find it on youtube also excersicse and meditation can give you a high feeling.

Answer 2

Yes.. i wish i was naturally high.. my sister is and shes so funny.. shes the laugh of the non alcohol party.

Answer 3

exercise releases endorphins, which create a "natural high"

Answer 4

endorphins are released during exercize or intense work outs. The "high" part comes from the dopamine in the brain. Other drugs are a synthetic form of dopamine, or fool the brain into thinking it's dopamine, causing a stronger high, that has a negative effect on the body and brain.

anything ending in "ine" does this. nicotine, cocaine, thorazine, etc

Answer 5

Technically speaking, you could be high right now and just not know about it, because your body has adapted to it's current chemical setting.

Yes, i believe there is such a thing, because i understand that the reasons why a person can be high are internal ones, not external.

The body reacts, therefore the capacity to be high was always there.

edit: I'm feeling quite naturally high right now, thanks to you.
