Caffeine
December 22, 2015 at 7:52 pm
I have not consumed caffeine since my high school years, which has been around seventeen years, and I have never consumed coffee until just recently.
When I drink coffee, it makes me all jittery, it increases my heart rate, and it makes me feel, for the lack of a better term, as though I am high, though I have never been high.
Is coffee supposed to be affecting me this way, or is it only doing this because I have no tolerance for caffeine?

A couple of cups of coffee shouldn't make you jittery, nor should it give you a high. It might make you feel more alert, but it's not the same as the high you get off more powerful drugs.
Sounds like you don't have a very good tolerance for caffeine. Why not try decaf instead?

Caffeine affects people in different ways caffeine itself is a drug.
Well caffeine is like injecting NOS into your engine I.E. caffeine speeds up your nervous system causing jitters.
It also has a effect on your neural system giving you that high.
If a cup of coffee is doing that to you well you should really do decaf.

Personally I think people can be complacent towards caffeine because it's legal and common but I think it affects everyone different and it might affect some people really badly.
I have a weird heartbeat and I always find that caffeine affects that badly, you probably do have a low tolerance for it.

Caffeine is a drug. A vasoconstricting stimulant that increases alertness (yay!), along with BP, heart rate, and respirations(boo!). And it's effects are very noticeable to people who aren't used to consuming it. Be careful.

Caffeine is a gateway drug to ephedra.

Anyone here tried granulated tea? SO much better than coffee.
Pound for pound it actually contains more caffeine. I put 3 teaspoons in to make it particularly strong and I feel... chirpy. :-)

I need coffee to get my heart started in the morning. But I don't drink it after about 2 PM or I'd never get to sleep.
It is very effective at what it does.
