Following extra spicy foods with a pint or two of milk neutralizes the post pyrotechnics, for me. If lactose intolerant, sugar works, but not as well(Perhaps in large/unhealthy quantity?). YMMV.

Edit: I always presumed the high after spicy food was endorphins.

Basically, as I understand it, capsaicin can be psychoactive in the same sense that, for example, running or BDSM can be psychoactive: an endorphin rush which can cause a feeling of euphoria.

Or a cold shower.

The milk helps some, but in my experience on absolutely can blow past that point so that the next day you're getting the same tingles from the other end.

That was my assumption too.
