Credi-Bull, snippets of strange but possibly true items will be an occasionally recurring theme here at EASAS - a news item that might be fact, or might be fiction.
There's a group of teens in Toledo, Spain who have been using chili powder as a controlled substance.
One ended up in the Emergency Room with a severe hemorrhage. Four others are at risk.
It seems they were repeatedly sniffing the chili powder, causing bouts of sneezing that would last an hour or more. Apparently this results in quite a high of euphoria and dancing colors.

As a regular cooker of curry and chilli, and someone who on a few occasions has accidentally scratched my nose with chili powder on my finger...I can state categorically that the feeling is not 'pronounced sneezing and euphoria'.
ReplyDeleteIt's more "OWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! IT BURNS LIKE FUCK!!!"
I agree- Fake!!!!
ReplyDeleteI vote - Real!
ReplyDeleteI say "real" but really have no clue!
ReplyDeleteso fake i can smell it from here
ReplyDeleteHuh! I figured in a world where toad-licking was real, chili-sniffing would be more credible.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are pretty savvy - the story was fake!
