Check out Restaurant Hopkins for a swanky yet laid-back date in the West Where: 5626 Monkland // NDG View this post on Instagram Fun Fact n°212: Hot chillies contain capsaicin, a unique compound responsible for the spicy flavour.

The latter is an endocannabinoid that can then bind to cannabinoid receptors and thereafter prompt a decrease in inflammation.
