Unfortunately I tried the real "cocaine" in the past. Not my thing. Who the hell wants to be so wired...even if its a whole load of caffeine.

Being wired is one thing, jonesing ever 15 minutes is a real b----. That depression over time is what made me stop. I can't stand complete and utter loss of dopamine and serotonin (I can't remember which exact one is surged through the brain with cocaine), especially in stark contrast to having just been doused with them.

But a manufactured high now would drive me nuts. My head and mouth are naturally in overdrive. I can't even imagine.

So coffee contains about 21 milligrams of caffiene per ounce while this new drink contains about 33 milligrams of caffiene per ounce. That doesn't seem like a big deal.

Some people will drink this to impress their friends

I had some friends who smoked "Death" brand cigarettes. No kidding, a black box with skull and crossbones that said basically "this stuff will kill you."

It would take a hell of an activist judge to let a suit against them get to trial.

How long till the libertarians descend on this thread and say we can smoke all the cocaine we want, it's no different than alcohol. Don't be messing with our bodies.

Is there a medical reason for that EC stack?

Depends if being a fat ass qualifies as a medical reason :)

I started back up again in February of this year, and along with diet and exercise, have lost 40 pounds.

That depends on the meaning of the words "fat ass". LOL

I'm glad that it works for you. I admire your discipline. For me to lose 40 pounds I'd have to cut off a body part.

Sometimes I can't believe how stupid the responses are on these threads.

Now we're comparing water to cocaine. Incredible.

Jolt cola, and Surge. Whoever killed these brands need to have their marketing license revoked.

Thanks. The first two weeks on the stack was pretty crazy, but that's mainly because I had maybe all of 2 cups of coffee in my whole life beforehand, so the caffeine hit me hard.


The key for me was to find a routine. Made eating low carb a habit, and running 3x a week seem 'normal'. Also, allowing myself to cheat every now and then helped too ;)

Caffeine just seems to make me feel itchy and agitated. I don't like it's effects.

My response was to #5 and the "gateway" argument. Apparently you agree with #5 that caffein and a drinks name equals the same thing?

The West Bridgewater selectmen want to ban the product from their town. The board has sent a letter warning all liquor license holders that “any use of a new 'energy' drink called 'Cocaine' will not be tolerated” and any use “would be deemed a violation by the board.”

Meanwhile, the West Bridgewater Board of Health is looking into regulations to ban the drink at convenience stores and supermarkets, Albanese said.

“The Board of Health has jurisdiction of retail sales at convenience stores and supermarkets,” Albanese said.

these business need to sue the ever loving hell out of these boards and all the individuals on the boards personally.Maybe sleeping under a bridge in a cardboard box will take a little of the nanny state dictator out of them and force thm to realize that you cant legally punish someone for selling a compltley legal product just because you dont like the name
