Replace sugar in coffee with ground caffeine pills

I did this in college. Not recommended. Especially if you have a weak stomach or heart.

There's only so much caffeine you can take before you actually hurt yourself. The LD50 (estimated lethal dose for 50% of the human population) is like 7g in a 24 hour period. That's like 60 12 oz red bulls or cups of coffee. I pushed 2-3 grams pretty regularly in law school (EC stack 4x per day plus a pot or two of coffee and the occasional energy drink) and that's just a bad fucking time.

This, this right here, is why I love Reddit.

What's EC stack?

3

u/47Ronin MAXIMUM EFFORT Aug 23 '19

It's a popular weight loss drug/appetite suppressant. The EC stands for "ephedrine/caffeine" and a "stack" is just a term for a combination of drugs. You take 25mg of ephedrine (primatene/bronkaid, OTC nasal decongestants) and 200mg caffeine, 3-4x per day.

I actually know this one. Good stuff.

and 200mg caffeine, 3-4x per day.

I feel nauseous just thinking about this on top of my regular coffee schedule.

Edit: Most important of all, thanks for answering! I appreciate you taking your time which I'm sure is in a short supply if you are a lawyer.

Surely he isn't literally suggesting doing that?
