Did you ever get high from chewing rice?

Um, no. Also I really dislike brown rice. I DID try to follow a macrobiotic

diet very briefly ... I think I lasted 3 days. 

I do get high from eating bread though. I think I was on a 30-year high from that.

Chewing food a lot does great things with enzymes. Your saliva enzymes turn rice

into sugar. That is how they used to make saki .... women (supposedly virgins ... )

chewed the rice and spat it into a container to ferment.

However, I have enough texture issues that I can barely chew food at all. When

I was a kid I actually had nightmares about "rice texture" ... which makes it interesting

that I like it now. I still cannot eat pancakes ... the smell and look is great, but my

mouth can't handle the texture.
