Are you stressed? Feeling blue? Or just looking for a pick-me-up? Try nature's homebrewed heroin or morphine - endorphins! But aren't those illegal you ask? NO, you're body makes them, that's why they are endogenous opioids. Don't worry about the DEA or or local police knocking down your door while you're getting this high? But wait what is the product, if your body naturally creates them. Well the product is running! Seriously, go out and run, push yourself - hard, but not too hard. Endorphins are painkillers produced in response to physical discomfort. But we're not talking about getting high on just one drug, we're talking about getting high, through running, on two drugs. Endocannabinoid - the body's natural THC analog is produced in response to stress as opposed to pain (the stronger endorphin activator). On a run though, you can't differentiate physical stress from discomfort which means the same mechanism that triggers endorphins can also trigger endocannabinoids. So go out and get high, a Natural High from running.
