I suppose I'll see what my options will be when I'm in a position to try.

[Rolan7]

If you go with edibles (I find the act of smoking unbearable) definitely start low.  And whatever you do, be patient- the "this edible ain't shit" effect is very real, it takes roughly an hour for it to kick in for me.  I ended up on 50mg once and it was actually kinda unchill.

I never go above 25mg, once or twice a week, and I'm taking delta-8 which causes less psychotropic effects but fights anxiety and helps me sleep.  It's a LOT better at that than alcohol was/is, and healthier.

To start out, 10mg is probably good- it might be a bit weak but that's better than it being too strong.  Someone I know started with 15mg and they got really giggly on main   (It was fine but yeah)

One day you'll strive to quit.

Because, like coffee or tea, you'll realize it's only masking how you feel, not emphasizing it.

or you wont, im not your pope.

I just want to know how it feels lol. I'm not too comfortable trying actual harder drugs like various hallucinogens though.

Don't start smoking lol. Do edibles. Smoking hits you harder, faster but doesn't last as long. Edibles affect you slowly and the effects last much longer. But it's also easier to "overdose" since the uptake time is like 30 minutes or w/e. The high from eating edibles is distinctly different from smoking it. Smoking it is more of a heady experience, eating it is more of a total body experience.

Coffee and tea are objectively good for your health

[Great Order]

So long as you don't take too much. IIRC the tipping point is roughly 300mg caffeine per day, and a regular cup of coffee contains about 100mg

[Kagus]

Meanwhile, my friend's standard order is a big cup with 7 shots of espresso in it.

To be honest, none of us understand how she functions. Fae bullshit is suspected.

[nenjin]

I do two large tumblers of coffee a day. And the weekends....I probably go well over the "good" limit.

[hector13]

I try to avoid caffeine in any capacity. I was quite sensitive to it as a child though, so tend to become reliant on it if I consume too much. Love dem headaches…

[Frumple]

I used to go through like a liter a day of caffeinated drinks, or something like that. Would do horrifying things like steep caffeinated tea in mountain dew.

Then about fifteen years ago it started giving the shakes pretty bad, and I was, like. Yeah, no, there's nothing about this that's worth it anymore. Quit more or less cold turkey (the headaches were there, but I've had much worse so it wasn't that bad) and not touched the stuff outside of the occasional chocolate since.

Possibly the most irritating thing about the whole experience was that once I stopped, I mostly felt better, more energetic, etc. Makes sense if you're aware of how the stuff functions (i.e. it makes you feel less tired, not be less tired), but it was a hell of a thing.

I discovered a situation where the Window Capture functionality of OBS works better than Screen Capture for a program running in fullscreen*. I got No Video with a screen capture-- just a single sad frame of the game and nothing more. (It isn't the Nvidia-on-Linux experience if it doesn't send you to capital-H Hell doing things that should be easy~!)

* the reverse is true for Microsoft PowerPoint: window captures just give you a black screen, you have to do a screen capture.

Back in my student days, I finished a litre of coffee before even getting off the train to uni.

Nowadays, more than 3 coffee makes me jittery.

[pisskop]

I've moved to light coffee and only when I want something warm but not tea

So 2-3 times a week Ill buy it or make a kruieg pod of breakfast blend

[Loud Whispers]

One coffee just merks my heart and turns me into a chinchilla

[TD1]

For all the naysayers   -   - - - -    -   Proof that LW has a heart.

[hector13]

Coffee just shorts the limiter on his artificial blood pump.
