yes. its the biggest scam in the normie world. copefee has A LOT of natural chemical compounds. one of them is indeed caffeine. caffeine is a vasoconstrictor. it will make blood vessels constrict. doctors did a research and with brain scanning they found out coffee drinking reduces the blood flow to the brain by 40pct. amongst other nasties copefee does. its horrible.

just looked it up, you might get your brain checked because you're not good with numbers anon.
cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced by avg. 27% and when you consume *a lot* of caffeine (950 mg/day) your cerebrovascular adenosine system might not manage to compensate for that to guarantee a normal CBF.

>> The median lethal dose (LD50) of caffeine is estimated between 150 to 200 mg per kilogram but reports of lethal intoxications have been made with doses as low as 57 mg per kilogram [6].

Dextroamphetamine (its amphetamine, aka speed).

In rats, the oral LD50 of dextroamphetamine sulfate is 96.8 mg/kg. Manifestations of acute overdosage with amphetamines include restlessness, tremor, hyperreflexia, rhabdomyolysis, rapid respiration, hyperpyrexia, confusion, assaultiveness, hallucinations, panic states.

i think it only gives the illusion of better performance. like when I was high on amphetamines (coffee is like a mild amphetamine). I thought i was a genius and wanted to program a next version of my python script. I spent all night and produced nothing. while feeling like i absolutely smashed it and did great. probably coffee only givesy ou the illuusion you are performing well/better

maybe it makes you feel a little less sleepy. but it def doesn't give you any "extra energy" if anythign it burns extra energy. that's why you collapse about 4 hours after your last copefee.

Caffeine reduces blood flow to the brain by constricting blood vessels. This is why you get a headache when you haven’t had caffeine in a while.
Long term caffeine users have been seen to have less gray matter in the brain. It is literally making you more stupid.
The good news is, once cessation of caffeine occurs, your blood flow will eventually return to normal and your gray matter can begin to return too

That's not entirely true, because your vascular system adapts to repeated use of caffeine so eventually there is an equal vasodilation effect. That being said consuming more than 200-300mg per day on a regular basis is pretty bad.

Not to mention all the paraphernalia of coffee, coffee grinders, espresso machines. That's the equivalent of having a bong of marihuana and a herb grinder, except is socially accepted.
