Caffeine does it take to get you high?
I had over 500mg's of the stuff yesterday (via like four strong energy drinks) and I did feel pretty hypo.. hardly really high, but just had heaps of energy whilst at work and I had a strong desire to do stuff.
I read up that apparently 3grams of the stuff is the minimum "potential" lethal dose.. i think.. I'm not sure.
I remember this one time when I was driving on a road trip with some mates and we were all fatigued.. I pulled over and bought like 6 energy drink cans (Recharge) and skulled them all, then I was fucken hyper for like the next hour, .. like.. everyone was trying to sleep whereas I was twitching and shit.. and a few times I randomly screamed as if i was going to crash, just to get a reaction out of them.. rofl.. oh and I was swerving all over the road and had the music turned up. lol
And another time at the markets (when I was like 15) I had like 5 of these "Double volt" cola stuff.. and I started getting heart murmers. :?
I'm having a three more energy drinks today to make up for the fact I stayed up all night watching this movie (Accepted) on youtube. :( Bah, it's my last week anyway. |

The effects of caffeine are extremely temporary. I drink a pot of strong coffee before I go to work, 3 or 4 24oz cups during the night and if I don't take a nap when I get home I'll put another pot on and drink it all day just to keep going. |

Coffee is... my favourite beverage - more than any other drink. I even drink hot coffee in hot weather and my 'Pezz Etti' is the best thing my sister ever bought me! |

Dude....
Soda often has more caffeine than coffee! Also there are 10 teaspoons of sugar in 12oz of soda....if you don't get off on the caffeine, the sugar rush will kill ya! |

It says right on a can of red bull not to consume any other caffeinated drinks at all during the day if you are going to drink 2 red bulls, as 2 of them are only 20 mg less than the recommended daily maximum dose of caffeine.
But, when I played D & D in highschool, we used to do crazy shit like making ranger pudding, 10 spoonfuls of instant coffee in a bowl, a bit of water to turn it into a sludge, sugar it, and eat it.
DON"T have a heart condition when doing this shit, your RHR goes through the roof.
Our other one was to make JavaJolt, open some jolt cola, put some instant coffee in it, stir. Pretty much the same result. |

Well, that can be said about alot of things... Alcohol for example... in moderation, isn't bad for you... but then, it can be bad for you if you take too much of it... same with Supplements, Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs |

Too much of anything is bad.
I think the effects depend on how much of it you drink and your body's sensitivity to the stuff - I have about 3-4 cups per day and it doesn't really do anything, but I know others who have 1 cup and bounce off the walls. |

i've read about the lethal dose of caffeine before. supposivly about 3 grams.Now i've never done meth and have no intentions of trying it but i've always wanted to know what the minimal lethal dose for it is to see how they compare toxicity wise. |

PLEASE don't quote me, because this is just from a random memory, but I'm pretty sure caffeine is more powerful and more toxic then anything else, including meth. |
