In reply to Runner's High and Marijuana, posted by Jakeman on January 1, 2005, at 16:21:22
When I was younger I used to train pretty hard, running, weight training etc and I've never experienced any "runner's high". It did give me strength and endurance which was helpful in the things that did give me a kind of high. Vertical skateboarding, basketball, football, skiing etc. I wonder what the difference is, maybe adrenaline?
At one time I was a very heavy marijuana user, all day every day for over 10 years. That was over about 12 years ago but I have had a couple relapses since then. Each time it was like a switch flipped in my head, something came on that wasn't on before. You might think I was just high but golf scores don't lie, recordings don't lie. After a few weeks those effects are gone though, and I start fiending for more. So this is something I really can't control and shouldn't do.
Any ideas on substances that might have a simular effect that are OTC or something I might be able to convince a doctor to prescribe?
Thanks
Rick
