'''Leviticus''' is often quoted by people who redefine [[Christianity]] to match their own bigotry. Leviticus is a book of old Judaic laws. Some are basic morality (''Lev 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.''), others are hygiene related (''Lev 22:5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath''), and others had to do with differentiating the Jews from the surrounding cultures (''Lev 19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.'').
'''Lidocaine euphoria''' is a rather unusual side-effect to the administration of [[Lidocaine]] as either a [[Local anesthetic]], a [[Nerve block]] or more rarely, [[Intravenous]]. Pharmaceutically speaking, this is considered to be a potential side-effect of the usage of [[Lidocaine]]; however, prior (or current) users of [[Cocaine]] appear to be more susceptible to this potential side-effect.


Leviticus calls for brutal punishments — Lev 21:9 calls for a priest's daughter to be burned if she "plays the whore", 20:18 calls for any couple that has sex during the woman's period to be exiled, 20:14 suggests that anyone who has a threesome should be burnt, and 20:13 calls for the death of homosexuals. Leviticus 20:9 even calls for anyone who fights with their parents to be killed.
Though chemically relatively dissimilar ([[Lidocaine]] (C17H21N04) / [[Cocaine]] (C14H22N2O)), it is hypothesized that the mechanism of CNS activity may be the cause for the similar euphoric-producing side-effects of each [[Drug]].


Leviticus also contains ''19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD'' which many people erroneously believe refers to tattooing (it actually refers to a kind of cutting and ash rubbing done at pagan funerals). In any case, for Christians, the laws of Leviticus are not intended to be taken as anything but history — Jesus "replaced" them with a new covenant based in faith, not law (Romans 3:28).
This is entirely different than [[Lidocaine Anxiety (page does not exist)|'''lidocaine induced anxiety''']], a side effect of [[Epinephrine]] in products containing both [[Lidocaine]] and [[Epinephrine]].

Lidocaine euphoria is a rather unusual side-effect to the administration of Lidocaine as either a Local anesthetic, a Nerve block or more rarely, Intravenous. Pharmaceutically speaking, this is considered to be a potential side-effect of the usage of Lidocaine; however, prior (or current) users of Cocaine appear to be more susceptible to this potential side-effect.

Though chemically relatively dissimilar (Lidocaine (C17H21N04) / Cocaine (C14H22N2O)), it is hypothesized that the mechanism of CNS activity may be the cause for the similar euphoric-producing side-effects of each Drug.

This is entirely different than lidocaine induced anxiety, a side effect of Epinephrine in products containing both Lidocaine and Epinephrine.
