A WAY OF LIFE! CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!! Urban Dictionary

A wonderful stimulant and vitamin that is an essential part of everyday life for those who would like to avoid sleep, or just be generally more productive. Diety, ritual, and drug rolled into one. Caffeine. Urban Dictionary

"A strong legal stimulant that is far more practical to snort in it's pure form than ingest by drinking disgusting, gut-wrenching coffee. Snorting caffeine produces an immediate energy rush and more intense buzz than drinking" Very true. But remember, kids... If you want to snort pure caffeine, don't even consider crushing up a No-Doz and railing it... Eww... Talk about a nasty drip. Urban Dictionary

A legal stimulant that is found in coffee, soft drinks and energy drinks and there is the pill form. Normally ingested in drinks but can be swallowed in the pill form or the pill can be crushed to powder for snorting and even cases of "slamming". Caffeine is as strong as amphetamines but does not cause wicked behavior as, cocaine, meth or other drugs but too much caffeine at one time can get a person high and can "tweak" a person out. Urban Dictionary

Its like high-octane fuel for the brain. Its a vitamin. Found in guarana (only good if you want a nice drink, if its only for the vitamin, then its overpricy) but mostly coffee of course. Supplements like No-Doz pills have actually their caffeine from coffee decaffeinator byproducts. Chocolate contains too much calories to be acceptable as source of caffeine. To get the RDA in caffeine if you don't like coffee drink Diet Coke/Pepsi/etc. Useful info now. Caffeine doesn't act like coke or speed! It doesn't act on the same pathway! Actually it mainly blocks the "drowsiness-inducing molecules" a.k.a adenosine from acting. But it doesn't act of dopamine (=feel good) pathway like the other drugs. Urban Dictionary

A strong legal stimulant that is far more practical to snort in it's pure form than ingest by drinking disgusting, gut-wrenching coffee. Urban Dictionary
