Everyones Favorite Addiction: C8H10N4O2

There was a coffee thread on here a couple of months back; let's make that a general caffeine thread. Coffee, energy drinks, pills, anything. What's your waifu's preferred buzz?

I've never been on a large dose of caffeine because coffee gives me diarrhea, but I've always wanted to have something for when I need or want to be awake. Should I buy caffeine pills? What's the effect like? Is it noticeable, or is it just like smoking tobacco?

>>1855 You should only use them in emergencies. VERY easy to become addicted and mess up your cardiac rythyms

Cold can coffee is my vice, but I really need to find a place to buy them cheap in bulk online (AU) cause getting them from asian grocers adds up

I've bought 100 caffeine pills (a 200mg) for 5 bux a few months back and the effect of caffeine is really subtle for me if there is one at all. I'm really underwhelmed but I used to snort 100mg sometimes which had an nice rush for the first 10 seconds, an annoying burn for the next 2 minutes and again a very subtle if any stimulating effect. I stopped rather quickly though because you can get Talcosis haha. That's why imma extract the caffeine from the pills soon. Twomorrow I'll take 1g and see how it'll be. I expect a very subtle effect.

>>1856 Relax dude, it may be different for everybody but caffeine is child's play if you don't make it into a habit (which would be pretty foolish anyway because caffeine is an ok stimulant at best.)

>>1857 I know that feeling all too well. When I was in Japan I would drink a can every few hours or so. My favorite was Max Coffee. Getting it here is impossible though.

>>1855 I used them throughout my final years of highschool. Definitely worth it for power studying and staying awake during class. Don't make it a habit though, caffeine tolerance does increase super quickly and caffeine withdrawal is actually horrid.

>>1861 Drink coffee/take caffeine pills with L-theanine to slow tolerance buildup. Equal parts caffeine to L-theanine.

>>1858 You can buy pure caffeine powder. PIC related. Easier than extracting from pills.

>>1862 Any source on this?

>>1863 I know. But the pills are there and I gotta extract the caffeine from them.

>>1855 I take a 100mg caffeine pill every morning as a coffee substitute. Cheaper than a cup of coffee and I don't have to buy beans and filters and soykaf .

>>1862 I know that L-theanine is synergistic with caffeine, but I don't know it it helps with tolerance.

>>1863 Where the fuarrrk can I find such a thing. Is it legal to buy in bulk like this?

>>1877 yes? Caffeine is unscheduled, I think, anywhere in the world; why would it be forbidden to buy in a bulk? Anyways, this was recommended for me some time ago: http://www.powdercity.com/products/caffeine-anhydrous-powder Assuming you are an American.

Ok I took 1g of caffeine and felt nothing. Imma wait a few weeks and try it again.

>>1889 You should try measuring your heart rate next time, see if it changes.

>>1900 I did. Well, I didn't exactly measure it with a machine, I felt my pulse with my finger and it wasn't faster whatsoever.
