Ethnobotanical said: We dont think twice about it. Everyday millions of Americans will wake up, and brew that first caffeinated beverage of the day. Since I recently finished my caffiene hangover the other day (for the ump-teenth time over the years), ive decided to inform you on the seriousness of caffiene. ..................................
We think nothing of it, its been hammered into our brains based on our cultural norms. Caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, and "medicines" have no where near the danger of illicit drugs. Despite most of our awakening, many still view these legal substances as somehow, mellow and not capable of real harm. But what if I told you caffiene's effects included
restlessness fidgeting anxiety excitement insomnia flushing of the face increased urination gastrointestinal disturbance muscle twitching a rambling flow of thought and speech irritability irregular or rapid heart beat and psychomotor agitation
this also includes things such as
mania depression lapses in judgment disorientation disinhibition delusions hallucinations or psychosis may occur not to mention rhabdomyolysis
Mild drug indeed withdrawal from caffeine can often bring fourth serious and unpleasant side effects as well
headache irritability inability to concentrate drowsiness insomnia confusion and pain in the stomach, upper body, and joints
These effects can last days (with some cases prolonged to a month or more 
.........................................
So the next time you decide to indulge in caffeine, do so! Enjoy one of the legal pick me ups, but be aware it is a drug

Coffee is amazing and you didn't list one awesome effect it has 
What are you some sort of coffee hater?

I love drinking 2-3 cups of coffee, putting a snus in and then smoking a bowl.
That's pretty much my every morning ritual. After that is game on.

Caffeine is a nice drug. I'm trying not to drink it every morning so I don't get the withdrawal symptoms.
Each time I don't drink coffee in the morning, even after a couple of month of drinking ONE coffee every morning, I feel fine.
To get withdrawal from caffeine, you need to drink a lot of coffee everyday for a very long time, which is stupid.
People seem surprised when they get withdrawal. There is a lot of literature on the subject. Just read people, reeeeeeaaaaaaaaad.

I was able to kick a 5 year opiate addiction, but so far I CANT stop drinking caffeine. I have a problem and I'm not going to address it because I love it so much.
Hi, I'm Kada... and I'm a caffeine addict.

A friend of mine suffered from nasty headaches when he stopped drinking those strong energy drinks after daily use, so I can believe they can have certain consequences on your health.
I like the feeling of the caffeine waking me up after a nice strong coffee early in the morning, and for that reason alone, I couldn't stop using it.

I kicked the soda habit tho. I generally only consume caffeine in the mornings. After that nicotine gets me for the rest of the day.
Damn. I'm always on drugs. lol

Coming off coffee drags on your emotions, not as bad as oxycontin, coke or tobacco but yeah it's shitty. Key to success is dont be a puss have another cup of coffee.

You have to drink a shitload of coffee/caffeine daily to experience negative side effects.
How about try moderating yourself?
100 mg of caffeine daily aint gonna hurt no one..
