Friends don't let friend weave webs of caffeine.


.... It has a different effect on spiders.

There is nothing fracking wrong with Caffeine. I don't see people who drink tea doing nothing and dying of heart attacks.

This thread is so fracking hilarious!! !! !

Caffeine is just as much of a drug as pot. They're both harmful and addictive.

Period.

Pot and Caffine aren't the same. One is a drug the other isn't. Does one die daily of caffine usage? People die more from pot than caffine. Caffine doesn't kill nor does it harm you.

You need to look up the definition of the word "drug". Your argument is that people don't die from caffeine and therefore it isn't a drug.

Well, then I guess life is a drug too. You can die from it you know.



A drug is a chemical compound that alters the perception or state of mind. Caffeine does this so caffeine is a drug.

Oh don't give me that excuse. Go look up this and that. One doesn't really have to to be right. I'm right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine

Quote:
In acute overdose of caffeine, usually in excess of 400 milligrams (more than 3-4 cups of brewed coffee), can result in a state of central nervous system overstimulation called caffeine intoxication. Some people seeking caffeine intoxication resort to insuffilation (snorting) of caffeine powder, usually finely crushed caffeine tablets. This induces a faster more intense reaction. The symptoms of caffeine intoxication may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation.[50][54]

In cases of extreme overdose, death can result. The median lethal dose (LD50) of caffeine is 192 milligrams per kilogram in rats.[55] The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on weight and individual sensitivity and estimated to be about 150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass, roughly 80 to 100 cups of coffee for an average adult taken within a limited timeframe that is dependent on half-life. Though achieving lethal dose with caffeine would be exceptionally difficult with regular coffee, there have been reported deaths from overdosing on caffeine pills, with serious symptoms of overdose requiring hospitalization occurring from as little as 2 grams of caffeine.[56][57][58][59] Death typically occurs due to ventricular fibrillation brought about by effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system.

I'm not generally drug positive, (Except caffeine) but I must disagree with you.
While pot does a lot of bad things to your mental and physical health, it does not kill you, at least not primarily. Refer to psych's post.
But, I stick with caffeine, hooked as I am. Caffeine doesn't fry your brain in the same way as pot does.
