Who's Berddda?
Shit my room mate Thorn would not care if I eat one... heck as long as she could be about to laugh at me she'd let me eat 2 of them. But I have work tomorrow, I'd rather still be able to speak english and under stand how to use a bus pass. Heck also knowing my own name would be good. I think the last time I ate a 1/4 of one I was too stupid to use my the TV remote.

A receptor is a structure on the surface of a cell that interacts with certain chemicals. Receptors have different shapes, and thus interact with specific molecules. diTomaso describes this interaction like this: "the active compound will lock itself to the protein and that triggers a reaction inside the cell." Cannabinoids are substances that act like cannabis, also known as marijuana. The active chemical in marijuana is called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and there are receptors in the brain that bind THC. When THC binds to these receptors, the person feels "high." Anandamide is a lipid that is normally found in the brain; it can bind to the same receptors as THC and thus produce a similar effect to "being high." Does chocolate affect the brain in the same way marijuana does? There are chemicals in chocolate that act like THC, resulting in production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter. However, there is no THC in chocolate, so you aren't breaking the law by eating chocolate. One of the compounds in chocolate is anandamide, which is already produced in your brain. If anandamide is already in your brain, then why don't you feel happy all the time? Well, anandamide is broken down quickly, so it isn't around long in your brain to make you smile. But chocolate may extend the feelings of well being. Piomelli's research indicates that there are two chemicals in chocolate which inhibit the natural breakdown of anandamide. This may be a reason why we like to eat chocolate! And dark chocolate contains more of these compounds than milk chocolate. Last edited by Crazy Dave; Jan 21, 05 at 11:43 AM.

A'ight lemme clear something up. As there are a limited amount of the nanaimo bars, I do no be giving them to people who are no my close friends, as I didn't make these. When I do some baking of my own (which is very rare indeed) I will share.
