An essential vitamin, without which one suffers from headaches, depression, sudden violent anger, sluggishness, muddled thinking, and crankiness.
I once went 10 months without vitamin C and only suffered a mild bout with scurvy and tooth loss...I went 24 hours without caffeine and that's why I'm doing life without parole.

"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.
"Man, if it wasn't for me snorting caffeine instead of having the usual cup of coffee, I'd probably have gotten fired for not showing up to work in the mornings."

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.
Pepsi, mtn dew, coffee, monster drinks all contain caffeine. Too many monster's can twack a person out.

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.
"Caffeine is also named Trimethylxanthine"
