What they were answering

My guess is they will use it as a springboard to control/regulate drinks that have caffeine added (like 5-Hour, NOS, Monster, Red Bull, etc) but they won't be able to outlaw coffee or tea.

Why does it have to be a restriction? Why can't it just be a campaign to make people aware of the risks?

Haha, stupid... I could see recommendations being put out, talking about the dangers of too much caffeine. I could even see a campaign to try and get children to lower their caffeine intake. But laws to make it illegal f

And I think our alcohol restrictions are too much as they are. 21?!? I can fight for the military and make legal decisions, but not have a beer when out with friends? That's crazy! I think people should be more informed

That's true. Regulate is the name of the game.

I don't think anything should have a get out of criticism free card. It's all in how you present the information, and the validity of the data. I think people would be receptive to being informed of the risks of caffeine

Binge drinking is a direct result of the age ban. If it were less taboo and illegal for young adults to drink responsibly, then there would be no reason to binge when alcohol is acquired. If parents were allowed to teach

There is no L-theanine in 5 Hour Energy. http://www.5hourenergy.com/ingredients.asp I honsetly don't know of very many commercial energy drinks that include it. It's mostly caffeine, taurine, gaurana, and ginseng that

That means the information is not being presented to them in a useful fashion. People naturally become defensive when their actions are called into question. They base their arguments on emotion and anecdotal info right

I use it all the time, especially in /r/Drugs. Many of the substances there have a lot of risks. However, the user base has a mindset that they are going to use it no matter what. However, if you don't contest the use, b

Then you went to a good school, or were lucky and got a good teacher. That is the exception to the rule. I've seen some really good teachers. However, they are few and far between in the public school system in the US. I

Perhaps. But it's still against the law, which is silly.

You're comparing LSD use in children to caffeine? Just because they are more physically safe does not mean they are psychologically appropriate. Although I do agree we need to legalize many substances that are currently

I guess it is a mixture of things. The UK has a large drinking problem and has a lower drinking age than we do. However, I'd we did it right we could change the drinking culture over time.

Interesting. I've never tried that. I wonder what quality L-theanine they used, and what amount.

I disagree. You'll get a lot of pushback from people on that. I have not tried LSD, so perhaps I should before I make a decision. However, I think young minds need a chance to develop before being subjected to psychedeli

I have yet to try either shrooms or LSD, so I can't personally comment. However, I know a lot of people that have. I think it would be hypocritical to allow one and not the other. They are safe, and people should be able

I agree, there are a lot of risks to developing brains. However, I am of the mindset that these decisions should rest on the individual and parents. I'm not willing to write off parenthood just yet, even though most are

I've actually heard the opposite from many people. They say that shrooms can be a more intense and difficult trip, and can lead to pronounced HPPD symptoms. Whereas LSD usually provides a more controllable and pleasant t

I have considered 4-Aco-DMT. However, I think my first trip should be the tried and true P. Cubensis. Also, mescaline looks like one that should be experienced as well.

That could be that case. I wouldn't be surprised.

Replying to [deleted] · In case anybody wants to accomplish this with drugs, I've been using 60mg vyvanse + 1g psilocybin mushrooms for a while. Take both with a hardy meal and 2 glasses of water.
Are you joking or serious? You take amphetamines and a low dose of psilocybin as nootropics?

This is a big problem I am seeing with people new to nootropics. They want to immediately jump into a stack, and do not want to put in the time to try thing by themselves, and see how each one affects them in isolation.
