Auxin Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Perhaps something only chili heads will fully appreciate, but theres a 12 year old on youtube that eats one ultra-hot pepper after another giving descriptions of each. He takes most like a trooper but the douglah got him, lol These varieties hes munching arent spicy, theyre mind alteringly hot. Its actually one factor that got me into hot peppers, they border on psychoactive when eaten straight like he does. Three years from now this kid will either be comparing hallucinogens or bungee jumping out of airplanes. Edited March 6, 2012 by Auxin 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted March 6, 2012 that was classic. what a champ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Deep2Handle Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) insane....he almost puts Neil from hippyseedcompany to shame! i hate a whole bhut jolokia i grew once.....NEVER AGAIN! EDIT: Certainly agree they border psychoactive, as about 2 minutes into the experience (everytime even when eating only very small amounts of any SUPER hots), i feel the beginnings of the feelings of jumping out of planes, riding big waves, and boarding real steep runs.......so must be something to do with adrenalin, or epinephrin or one of them? anyone know the science on it?

ThunderIdeal Posted March 8, 2012 the capsaicin and similar compound trick your nerves, causing pain. the pain causes endorphin release. there is undoubtedly more to it than just that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auxin Posted March 9, 2012 man i need to grow some of this shit. Yeah man, its wild growing the hots. I found the kid while gearing up to grow out every pepper in my aged collection (a process that will take 4 years, lol), now I think I'll also revive the tradition of eating every grown variety straight at least once each year. Really helps with breeding and I'll at least be able to say I have as much balls as a 12 year old I've grown like a fifth of the varieties he tests and its funny, some varieties where hes like 'yeah, that was piss-weak, no 5 minute break' would still make the average adult cry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel Posted March 10, 2012 What a cool kid. I love it when a young fella develops a passion and just runs with it, no matter how weird and idiosyncratic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auxin Posted March 10, 2012 Chilli festival is too hot... Irony 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted March 11, 2012 chnt, i went, but sooo hot (weather temp), and kinda commercial anyway, with mostly processed, value added product being offered. I did get hold of a dozen Moruga scorpion seed tho, which by the latest SHU rating, are now the planets fieriest (blah, blah, blah) If your really keen to investigate the top% of chilliestness, i can send you a seed selection including those, or you can wait till i grow some more out & move a few plants toward you then, at a WA meet or whatever.

chnt Posted March 11, 2012 i also went, and yeah commercial bullshit... mostly a waste of money, they would've made a killing on the $15 entry. i did get some scorpion seedlings and some bhut jolokia seeds so i'm good for now, maybe we can trade at a future meet. thanks anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted March 11, 2012 yeah, I spewed at the unexpected admission too! Grow well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
