    Yes but there is no connetion between synthetic weed and real weed. Synthetic weed contains pesticide as far as I know. What it contains is not synthetic THC. It is something worse than it. Perhaps it is pesticide. News says there is pesticide in synthetic weed. What do you think?

    One cup over the news in the morning, one cup on the drive to work, and one cup at work.

    On weekend mornings I like to drink more while reading on the balcony.

    considering the volume of liquid compared to one can of soda that is (32grams of sugar) I dont think its very much at all.. tho, when it reaches the 1/2way mark I usually add water .. when I drink something like this, Ill need to be drinking lots of water too. mostly cause Im working outside in the sun or something..

    Maybe ive been addicted too long, but never worried about drinking coffee past whichever time.

    Usually have one before I go to bed, doesnt keep me awake

    Thats when you know your tolerance is sky high, if it doesnt even affect you at all.

    You see since ive been off caffeine for two whoel days now, with tapering before that, in another week or so just one cup will feel like smoking crack for me :)

    I only drink coffee and tea until around noon, so I can get a good nite's sleep.

    I've had to taper off, due to high blood pressure, so I just have one cup of caf to kickstart my heart & head in the morning, and one cup of half/caf. with breakfast.

    When I was 19/20 or so I used to drink around six cups of coffee, black, each nite because I worked an evening shift.

    By the time I hit 30 I was down to around three cups, esp. 100% Kona when I was working on Maui at a 5 star restaurant (best coffee ever!)

    I was completely off caffeine when I was a Vegan in Eugene in the late 70s. I drank Pero and herbal teas back then.

    And yes, if you want the benefits of anti-oxidants in coffee, you must drink it down within a minute of it being brewed, because they just evaporate. And although there may be some benefits (it helps with constipation for instance), abuse of caffeine/coffee/tea can cause pancreatic cancer, supposedly. Other problems occur with the nervous system. Then there's stained teeth too.

    And while coffee does not lead to dehydration (by itself, it seems neutral), but black teas do increase dehydration. So just drinking ice-tea to rehydrate won't work. It might cool you down, but it's a diuretic, causing you to piss more water than normal.

    Ummm.... sounds like the "good things" you liked were garbage to begin with. Have you ever had any real food or real drinks?

    You can't find soda with caffeine in it? Do you live under a rock?

    When I studied soda making I learned caffeine is used as a bittering agent to offset sweetness and balance the flavor.
    Same reason they used cocaine in coca cola, it imparted the desired bittering quality without tasting too mediciney.
    Caffeine is a nice clean bitter, second only to cocaine.
    It was never really included in the ingredients for it's stimulating property's, it was just a fortunate side effect!
    You're more likely to get a mild boost from the caffeine in todays commercial sodas than you were from a bottle of coke back in the cocaine days, lol. Cocaine is a lot more bitter than caffeine so they didn't have to use as much.
