The rave drug everyone's sleeping on
Been enjoying the sub's debate over drugs, but I promise this isn't going where you think it is.
I need to share a drug discovery.
About a month ago, I quit caffeine entirely (costs me time, money, space, and blood pressure points). This weekend, I needed to stay awake and alert until 4am for a 2manydjs performance at Rhonda in Los Angeles (it was a wonderful show). So I fell off the wagon and had my first cup of coffee in over a month.
CAFFEINE IS A PARTY DRUG, if you use it right: I was bouncing off the walls with energy. I felt ready to conquer the dance floor. I had to be stopped from taking my shirt off (towards the end of the night, I might've been the only guy there with mine still on).
During my coffee trip, I asked the coffee plant* (that I had established direct communication with at this point in the night), "what do you think of humans sipping a little bit of your toasted fruit drink each day? Is this really your best impact on the world?"
The coffee plant's response back to me was unambiguous. She said, "daily caffeine intake is microdosing and doesn't really capture the glory of my potent fruit." The message was clear, but she repeated herself and yelled into my brain, "STOP MICRODOSING CAFFEINE."
And that's the message.
TLDR: STOP MICRODOSING CAFFEINE. (wean off, then try macrodosing it)
* (Re asking the coffee plant this question -- I really did -- not just being funny. I used the mycorrhizal network to do it, as I was connected at the same time to that communications system. So yeah, those two plants in combination are pretty great together.)
