chocolate as nootropic? Nootropics Depot's Chocamine product?

I have tried a variety of dark chocolates but prefer the darker % wise; 70-100%. I have tried unsweet 100% chocolate, no other ingredient but chocolate liquor.
People here have talked about caffeine as nootropic; chocolate has it too so I'm here to talk about it. The neurotransmitter "Anandamide" is said to be found in/isolated from chocolates but just couldn't be put in "form" for it to cross the blood brain barrier for it to be effective (from what I understand).
One person from another forum have said that a mix of chocolate, fish oil, and arachidonic acid (from peanuts) can produce that "joy or bliss" associated with Anandamide, but who's to know what the true effect of Anandamide really is when it isn't yet produced in such a form AFAIK. Could Anandamide based drugs replace the ineffective SSRIs?
Who has tried Chocamine? I'd like to read some reviews of it.

2 heaping tablespoons a day is much more than a gram and feels great--highly recommended unless u have kidney stones :) and i used hersheys non-alkalized....before my issues...

That's a pretty good dose. Based on the density of cocoa, two heaping tablespoons would be a bit over 8 grams.
