Free Drugs

Here is a list of things you can do to experience drug-like effects without actually taking any. The ways proposed here are (mostly) harmless and free!

Stay awake for a long time. You will eventually hallucinate. (not so harmless)
Go jogging. Free endorphin.
Stand up really fast. You will experience a gentle black-out effect.

Any more suggestions?

Sex. Love. Violence. Stroking cats. Eating anything. Not eating anything. Thinking. Breathing ...
Motorcycling. Performance cars. Rollercoasters.

Hyperventilation (nor harmless at all !)

There's a wonderful book called "The Book Of Highs" which extols just these things. Written by Edward Rosenfeld, published by Quadrangle, ISBN 0812903293 , but sadly now out of print.

Ever try sleeping? -- DonaldNoyes

Hugging appropriate people, napping, sleeping (esp. in flannel sheets and pillows) is also a form of FreeDrugs. Dopamine and oxytocin are released, and many more.

A free high: Take your dog for a good long walk every day (or at least every other day) and you both will have lighter hearts and feel real fine!
