    How to get a runner's high without actually running...

    You’ve got your headphones on, favorite music blaring. You’re running alongside a scenic road, your steps falling in rhythm with the music. Each stride feels effortless, like you’re flying through air or walking on water. There’s this newfound energy, a second wind. All at once, your head feels clear, your entire being seems lighter, and any trace of pain or discomfort miraculously disappears. You’re in a groove, a rhythm, a flow, a zone. You don’t want to stop or come down.


    You’ve just experienced the proverbial “runner’s high.” Brought on by an intense run or after a lengthy bout of exercise, runner’s high is a deeply relaxing and euphoric state that some say makes them feel like they could run forever. A 2004 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found running elicited “pure happiness, elation, a feeling of unity with one’s self and/or nature, endless peacefulness, inner harmony, boundless energy, and a reduction in pain sensation,” similar to descriptions “made by people who describe drug or trance states.” The chemicals released during this blissful burst temporarily elevate mood, reduce stress and anxiety, provide feelings of calm, and shield us from pain. This exercise-induced state of consciousness was once believed to be the result of an endorphin rush, but a groundbreaking study published in the PNAS journal in 2015discovered that endocannabinoids, microscopic molecules naturally produced by our bodies, may also be heavily linked to this unmatched feeling of therapeutic ecstasy.

    But...cannabis is evil, the Devil's lettuce, you say our bodies naturally produce cannabinoids? We are truly Satan's children...LOL

    Seriously I could have told them that without a study, I've known since high school
