"Endorphin Rush" - anyone? anyone?

I also get endorphin rushes from peppers, it depends on my actual tolerance. A long time ago when I started eating hot peppers for the first time, I got rush from a simple jalapeno/pepperoni pizza.
After a few years I was more than used to it, I jumped to red habanero level and I got a few quite nice rush from them. Now I'm used to that too :P
It still pleases me but if I want a real endorphin rush I have to eat the hottest ones. Fresh pods tend to burn me more than dried ones.
 
I'd describe the rush as less, "OMGTHISFEELSAMAZING" as feeling like a large weight has been lifted from your shoulders sometime 5-10 minutes after eating the pepper.
