Are you looking for herbal supplements as an alternative to coffee? I've never met anyone who switched out coffee for supplements successfully, although switching to tea or yerba mate really seems to work for many, you keep the 'mental' apsect going with the daily ritual/sesh/social part, as well as a smaller hit of caffiene/guarana.
Drinking plenty of water seems the easiest way to boost energy.
If you're not getting an energy boost from drinking coffee anymore just start holding in your pee, that'll give you some extra pep.

Not if you mainline into a vein.

Sharing snorting tools can be a good way to get Hepatitis from spread nasal mucous.

I've tried most of those herbal energy things. Basically, if you're not getting a buzz from coffee, you're addicted, like any junkie, and need to up your dose. Since I quit tabac 2 months ago my coffee intake has doubled and I need to drink more to keep awake. I'd suggest cleaning out your system - no caffeine - eating a high energy diet - unrefined and processed food, lots of raw veggie and clean proteins - with some whole food-based vitamins with lots of B's and get 8 hours of sleep regularly. Stay away from processed foods and intense sugars i.e., soda. LIke the other poster said most herbal things are ephedra or some variant of caffeinelike chemicals (guarana etc).

I'm tired today. I'm on coffee #3. I'll try and wait for 4 until after work...gotta stay awake for the Bark Haze set...I have some Tanzanian Peaberry at home which is supposed to have the most caffeine.

Great advice, folks, but I'm looking for a pill that isn't going to send me into seizures, not to emulate Mother Theresa.

I probably would take up coke if it weren't so damn expensive.

you goofs.

tea from coca leaves is good & healthy & quite harmless. unfortunately, american drug paranoia makes it impossible to find in this country.

cocaine on the other hand is the fucking devil. listen, children: it will kill you. and it will kill your dick too, contrary to popular myth. nothing fun about having an anesthetized schlong.

Yecch.
That stuff is like hummingbird food or something.
That is not a beverage. They are lying.

it's actually effective. i use it for long drives.

rockstar juiced is actually kind of tasty. weird, but tasty.

 


but as i've been saying (LISTEN, YOU FUCKING DUNCES!), stimulants eventually reach a peak that cannot be overcome, and proper restoration of the bodybrain is the only option.

SynthethicalY 03.08.2007 04:29 PM

I only drink that stuff when I am dead tired.
