And also don't forget phenetylamine. Pure phentylamine in high doses taken with an mao-b inhibitor feels exactly like mdma. Tho it only lasts for 15 minutes or so.
I used to have a energy drink every day before work, now I just have 100 grams of 85% cocoa content belgian chocolate instead.

Are you saying those chemicals are in the cocoa itself? There are hardly any endogenous neurotransmitters that pass the blood brain barrier if they are not injected directly into the brain

Oh yea! I left out phenetylamine. Mescaline in the chemical family of phenetylamines which means cocoa is kick ass.

Well yea they're in the cocoa itself but then this might mean that they are pretty much inactive and don't do anything. If what you say is true then I wonder what role do these neurotransmitters play within the plant it self..

It's weird actually, serotonin is found in nearly all living things, even bananas. They play probably the biggest role out of all other chemicals besides DNA and oxygen when it comes to life on Earth

That is truly fascinating. After a year of my interest in botany I am starting to think as if the planet itself is a brain and every plant is a receptor of this brain communicating through chemical messages with itself much like our own brains do.
Too out there? Possibly.

Just order whole cacao beans. They'll probably have a slightly higher caffeine content. Then you should feel the cocoa.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Theobromine, FTW.
Dark chocolate is a staple in my diet, I consume about a bar a week, I like the 82% cocoa dark chocolate because it has the most benefits.
I also have raw cocoa nibs I put in Greek yogurt from time to time.
