Endorphins from pain combined with weed?

Hi. I've heard that weed gets you high because it releases endorphins, natural painkillers for the body. If this were theoretically true, this might mean that someone stoned on weed experiencing pain might just get even more high. Has anybody ever experimented with their pain threshold while either buzzed or stoned? Also, what about the paranoia that often results from smoking? How do you deal with it? Does the paranoia threshold rise as the pain threshold does? Damn, I love being stoned and thinking! I'm a genius! Weed should be given to schools everywhere! At least, until all the students go screaming mad from the paranoiac dillusions resulting from said weed. Lol. Okay, I'm done now. Time to smoke another bowl. See y'all later.

Woah thinking too deeply there. Yes your body releases endorphins to help relieve pan. But when you actually FEEL pain your body has done all it can do. It can't help you anymore. That is why you take pain pills. I have a bladder disease. It's very painful. So I take pain pills every now and then for it. Smoking weed for me while in pain helps to relieve the pain just like I would have taken a pain pill. Except usually it doesn't make ALL of the pain go away. Just takes the edge off. So smoking weed while in pain does not make you get any more high than you would be if you weren't in pain. But if you mix pain pills with weed yeah you will be extremely relaxed. Not any more HIGH than normal. But more relaxed.
