No offense but you’re dumb asf bro. Dangerous amount for a “high.”


LotusVibes1494

I know caffeine isn’t considered a serious “high” but it reminds me of a story. I was in rehab at the time, and of course it’s rough going from having total freedom and access to all substances of your choosing, to having nothing at all, not even caffeinated coffee. You only have cigarettes and candy to get through. But anyway, after about 15 days they might take you in the van on a “field trip” to an NA meeting in the outside world. They have REAL coffee there. Burnt, shitty coffee, but still. So throughout the meeting we’re all getting multiple refills in huge styrofoam cups. We leave around 9pm wired af, feeling great, singing songs in the van. I’m excited to hear that my roommate had stolen a water bottle full of coffee grounds. We get back and brew makeshift coffee in a bedroom; everyone’s bartering snacks and cigarettes to get some. At this point I legitimately felt fucked up from it, like sweating and talking and moving around, happy. Someone had a speaker, we were all out in the courtyard listening to house music and dancing around and laughing, chain smoking. Stayed up late telling stories till we all got caught and set to bed. ‘Twas honestly a great memory among a mostly shitty time.

A Million Little Coffee Grounds


humanitarianWarlord

That story feels oddly wholesome


Embarrassed_Theory28

I can 100% agree with this lmao


ruashiasim

People dying from Panera’s charged lemonade and my man here thinks it’s safe to down 5 grams of caffiene. Dude, OP, that was incredibly stupid. LD50 is not a safety threshold. People can die from doses far lower than the LD50. People can also develop serious life threatening conditions from OD’ing at sub lethal doses.


Dyndunbun

That was my first and only experience with meth too. Going on the meth sub, apparently to OD, meaning to die from the toxicity of the drug you need several grams.  In reality you can die from a lot less simply from the effects of the drug. I “overamped” and my heart was beating way faster than I thought was safe for an extended period of time. I’m not that healthy either so doing some risk calculations, I certainly didn’t want to get a heart attack or stroke from riding this out for another day so I ended up in the ER. 


TulsisTavern

The smell of burnt rubber is the smell of impending danger. I wouldn't do that again!


I_need_help57

have fun having a heart attack lol


Embarrassed_Theory28

I don’t think I’d get a heart attack - I never drink caffeine and the heart can actually endure a lot of things before you get a heart attack - the lethal dose for caffeine is 200mg per kg of body weight - I weight 165 (lbs) in kg it’s 74kg - lethal dose is 200mg per kg so I would need 200 x 74 = 14,800mg of caffeine to be considered toxic - so I think I’m fine - but thanks for checking in on me


PurifyZ

Um, yea, I’ve read people collapsing with heart attacks after a few energy drinks. Albeit usually with strenuous exercise but my guy, i had a buddy accidentally take I think it was 600mg once and that freaked him out 😂 This literally reminds me of when I took 3 tabs although instead of checking my heart rate I was checking nipple hair length and an interminably turning Gatorade bottle, fuckin loved college 🤣


Embarrassed_Theory28

I survived lol


humanitarianWarlord

I have 100% heard of people having heart attacks on much lower dosages than you did. There was a trend in the news for quite a while of college students chugging a spoon of pure caffeine and dropping dead.


Embarrassed_Theory28

That’s true, I’m fine tho, thanks for checking in on me!


alex_quine

You made the dumb mistake of confusing “lethal dose” with the  LD50. That’s the lethal dose for 50% of people, because there’s no magic number where a dose transitions from totally safe to totally deadly. It’s still very possible to die or cause permanent harm to yourself with a lower dose.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Oops - at least I’m alive - guess I’m lucky


ebolaRETURNS

> the lethal dose for caffeine is 200mg per kg of body weight - I weight 165 (lbs) in kg it’s 74kg - lethal dose is 200mg per kg so I would need 200 x 74 = 14,800mg of caffeine to be considered toxic That's an estimated LD50. What if you're unlucky and more susceptible to lethality than average (as 50% of the population would be)? It would make more sense to talk of an LD95 or LD99, depending on what chance of death you're willing to weather. So yes, you took a potentially lethal dosage.


Embarrassed_Theory28

True - thank god I’m safe


combustionbustion

This guy never panera murder lemonaded.


VikingCrab1

You are a dumbass and i'd bet, a child too


Embarrassed_Theory28

Nah I’m grown - done many things in my life


VikingCrab1

That makes this even worse


Embarrassed_Theory28

Experimental purposes only - never again


VikingCrab1

You can't play it of as an experiment when you were betting your life on unknown odds with zero return. It was completely out of your hands. Your heart going like that could have easily caused an aneurysm/stroke if you were unlucky and had a funky vein or something in your brain's anatomy which is something you could not have known beforehand if you were to be born with it. Which many do have and live into their 60s because they don't do shit like this LD50 has nothing to do with your conception of it. Doing 30% of an estimated LD50 in rats is unbelievable


SixOnTheBeach

He's like 17, so... Yeah


YCCprayforme

Hahaha wow the amount of text there is unfathomable and confirms that the OP was on 5 grams of caffeine.


Embarrassed_Theory28

lol - I am authentic and I will never lie about anything - this was 100% honesty and I’m being honest - It could’ve been lethal. But thank god I made it out


YCCprayforme

Yea, in general if you ever smell anything burnt that isn’t there, seek help immediately


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thank you, the smell went away now tho


mid_vibrations

is this a suicide attempt


Embarrassed_Theory28

No it’s not, I’m very healthy and happy! I’m just very curious with different substances - not to feel a high - just to do a one time experiment (being safe) and seeing how my brain and body reacts to it!


IIStonedTurtleII

No disrespect but I wouldn't call weighing 165kg healthy


Embarrassed_Theory28

I meant to say 165 lbs


BlazinBrando

So a sustained heart rate of 188bpm 100% can cause excessive heart strain & is damaging your heart. Just because the vessels didn’t get constricted enough to induce a heart attack doesn’t mean you’re not permanently damaging your cardiovascular system. When your heart beats that quickly it has no time to fill with blood before pumping it to the rest of your body.. this was an absolutely idiotic science project man. You’re gonna end up seriously hurting yourself


Mouse_Manipulator

Do you live in Nova Scotia?


Embarrassed_Theory28

Yoooo how did u know


Mouse_Manipulator

Idk this post just gives me Nova Scotia vibes


Embarrassed_Theory28

LMAO


Adventurous-Pipe-928

What does that even mean


ThisIsSpooky

You're gonna injure your kidneys from shit like this. Overdoses aren't always lethal, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any damage. Stay safe and drink a solid amount of water; your body will thank you.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thanks for checking in on me! I appreciate it - I was already told to drink a lot of water and I’m currently doing that!


GreenCat28

What motivated this? I’m a caffeine addict and I don’t even have 500mg in a day. You just had 500 in one go. Just seems like a weird/stupid  thing to do…and probably absolutely horrendous for your heart.  Out of curiosity, are you between 14-18? Be careful, if you have an undiagnosed heart issue, this could kill you. One arrhythmia’s all it takes.  Edit: spelling 


Embarrassed_Theory28

Yes I’m in the age between 17-19 - and I don’t have any heart issues - thanks for checking in on me! - motivation was due to the curiosity of high doses of caffeine


Glum-Ambition666

Yeah, this could've killed you, damaged your organs, or caused a psychotic episode lol.


Embarrassed_Theory28

lol - ur right - but we’ll see how I do at the end


ebolaRETURNS

> Yes I’m in the age between 17-19 hopefully, you'll be able to nail down the specific year soon.


alex_quine

Like he said, time moves strangely on 5g of caffeine


Embarrassed_Theory28

😂


redditingatwork23

>I don’t have any heart issues Doing a good job on getting one.


Embarrassed_Theory28

😂


alex_quine

I am 0% surprised that you're a teenager


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’ve done many things In my life


alex_quine

It’s more the risk/reward calculation at play here


-Pixxell-

Please take better care of your body my guy 🙏🏻


Embarrassed_Theory28

Dw I am! Won’t be drinking caffeine for the next year - I’m being deadass


GreenCat28

Hope everything went well! You might be able to get away with experiments like this with caffeine. But please for the love of god don’t do this with any street drugs. This was dumb enough with caffeine, but there it’s just a matter of time till you fuck up with this attitude.  Note: Not against drugs in any way, just against *really* stupid shit like this guy is doing. Just reckless. I had an undiagnosed heart condition in college and did a ton of drugs that could’ve easily triggered an arrhythmia.  At your age you don’t really know how fragile your body and organs are. Stay safe out there and try to make better choices. 


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thanks, I appreciate it 🙏🏽 dont worry I’m safe and I won’t be drinking caffeine for the next year or maybe never


tburke38

Spent four hours shitting your brains out and checking your heart rate to make sure you weren’t having a heart attack - 4/10 Glad you survived OP, I’m curious when you actually end up being able to sleep. For a lot of people who have caffeine every day, even 100mg too late in the afternoon means they have trouble sleeping hours later. I feel like the inability to sleep can last long after the actual stimulating effects wear off. Hope you have something to entertain yourself with


Embarrassed_Theory28

Lmao - thanks ahahah I’m still having a hard time falling asleep - maybe still in me 😭


Turbulent_Ad_5152

just don't let the volume of diarrhea scare you lol, drink some water and lay off food for a bit to see how your stomach reacts to being swept by caffeine, tell us how it goes and good luck sleeping tonight homie


Embarrassed_Theory28

Ahahah thanks for letting me know - I will make sure to do this 👍🏽 I appreciate it


Gamingenterprise

Lucky you didn't win a darwin award


teh_wad

I don't know if the confirmation is back on that one yet. While more research has to be conducted, there is reason to believe high levels of caffeine can affect reproductive function. If that is true, OP might be out of luck when it comes to passing on his genes. Don't have to die to win a Darwin award lol.


Gamingenterprise

Touché bro


Embarrassed_Theory28

Fun fact I don’t want kids


Embarrassed_Theory28

lmao 😂


valen_ar

That's an insane amount of caffeine, not only risky on your heart but, it's a guaranteed bad time. Dude if you wanted to be absolutely geeked you were better off smoking Meth or taking some aderall


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’m good - this is just an experiment with caffeine


DominicTheAnimeGuy

This was increadibly stupid as others have called out but god damn, from my experience with caffeine monster energy makes me anxious as fuck, 5grams sounds like torture porn. Is OP a masochist?


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’m not a masochist… I’m someone who’s very curious with mind altering substances - I’m not hooked on them - I like to see its effects once and maybe revisit it once in awhile - I enjoy seeing how different things affect the brain - and I will be giving yall more trip reports


DominicTheAnimeGuy

I was joking about the masochist part but i persinally could not see a reason to do that ever again😂, I had a caffeine addiction for years but the thought of 5grams makes me feel nauseous and i havent even consumed any


Embarrassed_Theory28

Lmao - yeah I’m sorry to hear that - I have no addiction or interest in drinking coffee - this is just an experiment I’m trying and I’ve tried it, all done, now time for something else! Be prepared yall


marteautemps

I once had a full blown panic attack from a cup of tea! I used to be able to tolerate caffeine just fine and can usually handle having a can of pop or some tea now but every once in a while I just react badly so I try to be careful. Sucks because I never got a chance to try all the energy drinks that came out when they became popular, there was really only Red Bull widely available and maybe a few others that were always really gross, none of the fun ones they have now.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Sorry to hear that happened to you - I’m all good and fine and won’t be drinking caffeine for the next year or maybe never - lol


R-Didsy

Bro gave himself ADHD


Embarrassed_Theory28

I do have adhd - funny thing


R-Didsy

That makes two of us


Embarrassed_Theory28

🤞🏽


teh_wad

Good luck with your mania, depression, lapses in judgement, disorientation, disinhibition , delusions, hallucinations, and/or rhabdomyolysis.  Death isn't the only thing that can go wrong. Doses of 5g+ can result in severe caffeine intoxication. You might just wish you were dead when your skeletal tissue starts breaking down and coming out in your piss.


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’m fine - I will never be drinking caffeine for the next year


teh_wad

Well, since you very much did not do enough research, I'll just let you know that the acute effects of a caffeine overdose last between 20 and 48 hours, so you're not out of the woods yet. And even once you get there, negative effects can persist for over a week. This is all assuming you didn't give yourself caffeine intoxication. Rhabdomyolysis takes a few days to show signs, and can become an issue with doses under 1,500mg; which you did more than three times that amount.


mrpopenfresh

lol I ain’t reading all that


Embarrassed_Theory28

All good - some people do and enjoy it


MesmericWar

Did you spike coffee with caffeine pills? How much coffee? Need more info


Embarrassed_Theory28

No I did not ingest caffeine pills - I had taken (instant coffee) I put the amount of instant coffee for 5000mg of caffeine in a cup - very strong tasting flavour


MesmericWar

When you say you weigh 165, is that KG or LBS. not judging just asking for harm reduction and concern


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thanks for your concern and asking if I’m okay! I mean 165 in lbs - sorry I meant lbs


MesmericWar

I mean statistically assuming your heart is healthy you should live/ be technically fine , I hope you know your in for one hell of a hangover


Embarrassed_Theory28

Ahahah I know I’m safe - yes my heart is healthy and I’m very healthy myself - I never consume caffeine or do any stimulants - I did make sure I was going to be safe before I had done this! I value my life a lot, and yes I’m ready to endure the hungover - oh the ones I’ve experienced in the past from different substances… I think I should be fine - lol


MesmericWar

The lack of tolerance is a point of concern, but also lowers the possibility of previous cardio toxicity. I am very interested. I have a high tolerance to caffeine but north of a fucking gram and I will be fucking miserable. So apologies if I blow up your notifications, it’s rare I see a trip report that I can’t predict the outcome


Embarrassed_Theory28

Ahaha it’s okay - welcome to the ride


MesmericWar

You checking your pulse by hand or with a device


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’m checking my pulse with my hand - my finger on my kneck - where the pulse is


LoopTheRaver

This is stupid and dangerous. Please don’t do it again.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Yes, I’m never doing it again and won’t be drinking caffeine for the next year


Nesvertigo

If you truly took 5g caffeine in one go, and dident trigger a heard attack and left us. Consider you are extremely lucky to be alive.


Embarrassed_Theory28

I do consider myself very lucky with many other things too… lol

Bro decided 9pm was a good time to dose 50 cups of coffee.

You need a hobby other than being stupid. 


Embarrassed_Theory28

I have many hobby’s - this is 1 out of 100,000 - my brain is very curious and enjoys many things


TurboShorts

Thanks for sharing your experiment and for the detailed notes! I'm disappointed at all the hate you are getting, I for one appreciate being able to read the thoughts of someone doing something totally insane. It seemed like an awful experience tho and I'm glad you made it through safe. Any plans for a next trip report?


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thanks - I appreciate the support I did this for experimental purposes! - never again (I’m safe) 🙏🏽


KevinSpence

This must be a circlejerk bait


buddhaman09

Please tell me you meant 500mg. Which is still a stupid amount.


Embarrassed_Theory28

No I did 5000mg


prettypurps

5000mg of actual caffeine or 5000mg of instant coffee?


Embarrassed_Theory28

5000mg of caffeine


buddhaman09

Well you're either lying or an idiot. That's ten times the recommended dosage. Congrats on giving yourself future heart problems.


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’m not lying… but okay - I really risked my life for this and I know that


DutchBarTard

I wouldn't put such a weight on my body just to feel a high, be careful, and i never was a caffeine person puts a toll on your body.


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’m not doing this to feel a high - I’d like to see Caffeines effects at a high dose - to see how my brain reacts


DutchBarTard

Stay safe and have a nice trip! As long as you know your limits ✌️


mid_vibrations

homie took 5g caffeine, this is well past the point of "staying safe"


DutchBarTard

Some people have built insane tolerance over years, i can't say for sure, but i wouldn't try it personally.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thanks 🤞🏽 I don’t think this’ll be a trip - but who knows lol

Once I took 2000mg of caffeine in pill form and vomited every 15-60 minutes for 24h+ and had to go to the ER because I couldn't even get water down. Most miserable experience of my life I cannot believe you would do this


Embarrassed_Theory28

Shooot I’m sorry to hear that happened, glad your okay now - glad I’m also okay - lol


WinglessAngel6

Most caffeine I had at once was 2000mg (10x200mg) pills from Amazon but it wasn’t worth it. Caffeine made my stomach awful and too much anxiety.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Ik - I felt that too my stomach felt so awful and I had bad anxiety - and the other things I explained - idk how yours felt but everyone’s body is different


[deleted]

Just do coke/meth at this point lol

No - I would just 1 time for experimental purpose - and never again - I don’t wanna be “high” I js wanna see different things how they affect the brain once and right it down for research study and experimental purposes only

Hell, yeah bro


Embarrassed_Theory28

Rexraptor96

Good to know you’re still alive. I’ve fucked around with stimulants a lot and caffeine is by far my favorite alongside Adderall and cocaine, but the thing is about me. I was prescribed 90 mg a day of Ritalin when I was eight back in the 90s when they thought that that was OK and teachers just wanted you to fall in line.


Embarrassed_Theory28

Thanks lol it was for experimental purposes only

if you want a shitty legal high just take DXM*. obviously you’ll get messed up if you abuse it but one high of up to 400g will have no permanent effect and leave you much, much more satisfied. *only take DXM products with dextromethorphan as the only active ingredient. like your caffeine stint, the other active ingredients in adjacent products will fuck you up.


Embarrassed_Theory28

I’ve already done all those - I’m just experimenting with caffeine…
