I’ve started an interesting series on The 420 Times where I compare various substances — including their uses, effects, and side effects — to cannabis (a.k.a. medical marijuana). I’ve been surprised myself by the fact that even FDA-approved, over-the-counter, so-called “harmless” drugs like Benadryl have caused any number of serious side effects, up to and including death.
I’m also planning to cover the “Big 3”: alcohol, tobacco, and (gasp!) caffeine. So you can use this handy search URL to follow along and see what amazing facts I uncover!
So about caffeine. I’ve recently had to give it up because apparently having 5 bottles of soda and two coffees a day is bad. It was tearing up my stomach and it pained me to eat. I couldn’t stomach anything. So, I gave it up cold turkey because I knew it was the source after looking around on the internet. On my third day of just drinking water, I was falling asleep walking on campus so much that I tripped and had to stop and text my friend to help me back to my dorm. Never knew such a sugar crash existed.
Caffeine = bad.
Mary Jane = veryyyyy good. Helped me cope and cleared my acne.
