I experience a chalky scent from high dose caffeine pills. I don’t think the taste is unique to the intravenous caffeine.

THC containing gummies, once a week, for music enhancement before bed. Tangential details... The 2018 hemp farm bill allows products to have up to 0.3% THC, but it took years for people to realize that gummies are hefty enough that 0.3% means a gummy can have 10-20mg of THC. So, at the ripe age of 57 I finally tried THC. It was very frustrating because most of the good stuff I expected didn't happen: no euphoria, no…
I’m surprised you do it before bed! I find that especially with edibles, using thc too close to bed makes me sleep deeply but wake up groggy. Typically I need an afternoon nap the next day. I believe thc fucks with REM. Food is totally unchanged for you? Wild! What about movies/tv?
TLDR; participants with cocaine history were administered caffeine IV. At high doses (300mg) they reported some mild euphoria, and a strange taste and/or smell. Ask HN: aside from caffeine, what is the drug of choice around here?

Low dose dextro-amphetamine for ADHD in everyday life, weed for music and various other enjoyment, only occasionally. Alcohol and whatever nose-friendly stimulants are available for parties. Psychedelics at most annually(ideally 2C-B or (1p-)LSD, but I've tried a whole host of different ones) for deep contemplation and introspection. Watching my brother destroy his life with Heroin has kept me away from opioids for t…

Meh I think I’m done with THC. You’ll always find plenty of enthusiasm and love everywhere for it, but then I never really met or talked to a single person who didn’t eventually became conflicted about it and concluded the negatives far outweigh whatever you get out of it. Thankfully it’s doesn’t cause any serious harm to you as far as drugs go. I wonder though, about a 100 years ago, when weed was criminalised, it w…

Coffee doesn't cause tooth decay. Sugar causes tooth decay. You can drink Coffee without sugar.
Not a dentist, but I think it's the acid that causes tooth decay. Microbes create the acid from dissolved sugar in your mouth. The question is whether coffee is acidic enough to do damage even without the sugar.
People often drink coffee slowly and without a straw, this leads to staining but not tooth decay. However the slow part contributes to the teeth not getting a chance to neutralize acidity normally. This gets worse when people then brush their teeth after their morning coffee to prevent bad breath, which the abrasiveness combined with the acid environment does cause havok.
Both of them can be avoided in a variety of ways, to reduce both staining and decay.

Opioids are no joke for sure. If you have good self discipline and can limit yourself to one every 2 to 3 days, it can be amazing and safe. But it makes you feel really good and many people don't have the self control required, so I recommend staying away. If you develop a physical dependence, it is not pleasant to say the least.
Didn’t realise caffeine was used IV in anesthesia. Apparently it speeds up awakening (which makes sense to me as a non-medic). https://theanesthesiaconsultant.com/2019/06/18/intravenous-c... But the story in OP is that the patient received caffeine IV at the beginning of the surgery (inducing severe anxiety). Does anyone know why you would do this?
He chuckled a bit and told a tale of when he actually had that show up on his hospital visit once.
He was in the hospital for some reason. That next morning he was rather grumpy and after snapping at the doctor apologized and noted that it was 2 hours after he normally had his morning coffee... which he couldn't have. The doctor asked if he'd be better if he had some caffeine and the manager said "probably."
So T43.616A showed up on his chart and shortly after that a nurse came by and added one cup of coffee caffeine equivalent to his IV. Apparently it degrumped the manager sufficiently shortly afterwards.
The IV was much more than the cup of coffee from Starbucks and there was some dickering with insurance about if that was a necessary or elective treatment.
He concluded with that he wouldn't recommend it again.
Coffee enemas are apparently an influencer thing right now.
Whenever I hear something like this my first thought is that it's some stupid TikTok "challenge" that's intended to get people to humiliate/injure themselves on camera for the lols.
