Personally, I grow about 30 different types of Chiles at any given time. I make hot sauces, powders, flakes, salts, trade seeds with other growers worldwide. It's a hobby.

Wow!
You have your post-apocalyptic trade goods!
BTW the video at the link is worth a look. A bit corny but interesting also.
Remember to wash your hands before going to the restroom at Buffalo Wild Wings.
I grow jalapenos, habaneros, hot cherries, and hot banana peppers.
I pickle them, saute' them, or eat them raw. They're only good if my bald spot sweats.
My wife jumps horses. I have been a motocross racer, super bike racer, mountain bike racer, bull rider, sky diver, rock climber, mixed alpine,and ice climber. There is no way I will jump a horse over those obstacles.
Shows that not only humans get bored to the point of doing anything for kicks.
I remember watching that many times at Steel Pier as a kid in the ‘50s and early ‘60s
There is a better and quicker way to stop hot peppers from burning your mouth than what the article suggests. Brew some hot tea, or hot water, and just take a sip. There’s a brief flash of pain, and then its over, with everything back to normal.
Oh, I love all those peppers! I grown Anaheim’s and jalapeños....
Never understood eating such hot peppers that you can’t taste the food.
It’s always interesting to hear what Freepers do in their lives.
Like most other foods you build up a tolerance. If you don't eat spicy foods and try a superhot pepper you will think you are going to die. If you eat them all the time you notice the flavor.
Another thing I do is to cook with powders. Even with the hottest powders you can control the heat by adding a little, checking the heat and adjusting it to your preference.
Water actually spreads out the capsaicin and isn’t recommended, but if it works for you go for it.

Wow!!! I thought I was a risk taker lol. I’m not worthy!
Happen to have a good source for successful growing of pepper plants?
Bought Habanero, Ghost, and Carolina Reaper plants that all stopped producing and withered. Live in a tropical environment, so cold was not an issue.
Not sure why but her music goes very well with heat on my tongue.
If you have a Facebook account there are several pepper groups. The one I spend the most time on is Hot Pepper Growers Advice, Tips and Tricks. If you don't go on Facebook growers such as Ed Currie (he developed the Carolina Reaper) have growing guides and forums on their web sites.
We have 2 terraces at our home. The lower one is where I grow my peppers. The upper one is where we kick back, have a drink, enjoy the sunshine and take in the view.
