Default Re: (Very OT) Victory over Caffeine

[ QUOTE ]
I switched to caffeine free coke, and I tasted no difference.

[/ QUOTE ]

I taste a difference if I drink it from a gold can instead of a red one. My brain knows there is no caffeine and tells me it's disgusting. It doesn't taste as bad if I pour it in a glass first. It tastes exactly the same if someone else pours it in the glass first but doesn't tell me about it.

Are you one of those silly people who clicks reply to the last post in a thread when he means to reply to the first? :/

I may be silly, but I'm not going to scroll up an entire thread just to click a button that is currently staring me in the face. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Maybe eventualy, but I enjoy it, and honestly... caffeine is much worse for you then THC. You can die from caffeine overdose. high doses can cause all kinds of problems with the brain. Withdrawal is much worse on caffeine too.

I am not saying THC is good for you...

You can overdose from just about anything. For coffee it's about 50-200 cups of regular coffee, depending on body weight and tolerance.
I don't think you have to worry about this.

P.S. You're right that root beer > coke.

When you drink that much coffee you get super powers of moving through time ala Futurama.

Sure no one drinks that much coffee, but you can go to the store and buy caffeine over the counter and OD with one box. This is a little extreme, but caffeine is put out on the market to appear harmless. It is very addicting and it is put into sooooo many products for that reason alone...
