I’ve decided to quit caffeine after watching a JRE podcast with Michael Pollan.
Michael talked about how strong a coffee high can be so I wanted to try it.
I also saw the image with Spider under various drugs that clearly shows that any drug is better than coffee, of course for a spider. But that may be applicable to humans.
Note that this dates to research made around 1995; when all drug was considered bad (War on drugs Term coined June 18, 1971 ) .
It also made me realize that I’ve never not been on caffeine since i could remember. As kids growing up in Morocco, tea is a strong part of the culture and we used to drink it constantly.
After spending multiple weeks with no caffeine, I can finally feel the kick of coffee again. I can now use it as a tool for when I am tired instead of needing it to reach a baseline level.
