wake up and smell the ridiculous stimulant

[redsage]

I love how speed remains illegal and they're creating stupid barriers to purchasing Sudafed, but it seems like everyone's getting ADD meds and energy drinks are on the rise. In the latest news in ridiculous (and yummy!) stimulants to hit the market....



It's pretty good, but I have to say... energy coffee? Because caffeine isn't enough?

Because caffeine isn't enough?

Sometimes you need more than just what plain caffeine can give you.

There's also a donut that comes with the caffeine ALREADY INSIDE IT.Because eating a donut and drinking a cup of coffee WASTES TOO MUCH TIME.

hahahaha that's awesome

if the coffee is cold, do they call it cold fusion coffee?

Of course, Free Energy coffee is still a mythical beast ;-)

Holy Adrenal failure batman!

On an unrelated note. Did you know that 5HTP is illegal in Australia? Matt and I decided that we should sell it on the streets to fund his trip out for Burning Man.

Get your Tryptophan! Come get your red hot tryptophan!

5htp is actually illegal, nor prescription or anything? Wow. That sucks.

Ya, in an herbal store in Melbourne they said all trytophan is illegal in Australia. Damn the man. Damn the man even in Australia, always trying to take away our happy pills from us.

Good thing you already had someone in Australia to keep you happy. ;}

I've seen it but have been too scared to try it. Especially after I've already taken my Adderall. Rampant poinging and paranoia anyone?!

[tyrsalvia.livejournal.com]

Hah! Yeah, I can see that.

Wake up in the morning. Take a shower with caffeinated soap. Do what a friend of mine used to do, and make your coffee with caffeinated water. (My friends didn't forgive me for months after I gave that water to him - I didn't know what his plans were!!!). While drinking it, read the Onion.

On your way to work, stop and pick up some energy drinks so that you can make it through the day. For some reason, you're always tired even though you drink a lot of these things....

Have a high fat lunch at McDonalds because it's faster to stand in line with 90 other people for a "fast" lunch than to run into the supermarket for their salad bar. Don't forget your Diet Coke because you should have something healthy with your Big Mac. Plus you're a little tired, so you should make that a biggie drink.

The burger and frieds left a nasty taste in your mouth, so have some caffeinated mints to freshen your breath. Plus, you're feeling bloated and slow and heavy now that lunch is over, so you need the caffeine for a pick me up. It's an hour after lunch. The caffeine's not doing it anymore. Run to the candy machine for a Snickers bar because Snickers really satisifes. Plus hopefully that sugar will help your ass stop dragging. Why on earth is your ass dragging anyway? You've been steadily increasing the caffeine for years, but nothing seems to give you a buzz anymore...

Continue through the day alternating the caffeine, the sugar, and the high fat foods. After dinner, go out with some friends to a movie. While you're slurpting away at your biggie drink, if someone mentions surprise that you can drink caffeine so late at night, tell them that caffeine doesn't affect you.

At midnight, go to bed. Lie in bed, unable to sleep for a few hours, get angry because you're always tired and yet you never get enough sleep because you just can't fall asleep no matter how late you go to bed. When the alarm goes off at 6am, repeat yesterday and continue to wonder why the caffeine doesn't pick you up and why you're always tired. If you end up going to the doctors, be sure to get pissy when they suggest you decrease your caffeine intake. After all, it's not like you're addicted to drugs or cocaine or something. You're just buying food and drinks! They taste good.

...you know, the scary thing is that I'm sure there are people who do that.

I have known several people who lived like that and swore that caffeine had no effect and then had major headaches when deprived for a short while. One person even stopped caffeine cold turkey, went through the deprivation, ended up sleeping for quite a long while, got past that, discovered that he was able to sleep, but then started the caffeine right up again even after having seen what it did to him.

Sometimes I wonder why they do those huge anti-drug campaigns and never mention caffeine. It's very addictive and easily masked, causes serious effects that people don't acknowledge, and is just generally seen as something that's ok (and is increasing in HUGE amounts these days). Holy crap, you can even buy caffeinated alcohol!
