Question

I usually take 4-6 on a saturday night. However, one of my mate reckons you lose 30% of their potency taking them orally. So he crushes up 20 and snorts them.
I'll be honest, I'm a little wary of trying this as the caffiene crash off 6 is bad enough, let alone 20. Anyone know what the effects off way too much caffiene is?

Yes, it's bad for your heart if you have a history of heart disease.

See http://www.madsci.org/FAQs/caffeine.html for more stuff.

Are you blinky mad or what?

Extremely high doses of caffiene could probably cause any number of health issues, i.e. heart problems, high blood pressure, let alone you body being kept over stimulated for ages.

Why?

Looks like Caffeine is cheaper than 'Charlie', you can snort it and has the same health risks. I wonder when the government will make it illegal then?

Don't you end up twitching when you've had that much caffeine?

he'd be just as well sticking it up his jacksie as a suppository, can he not just get some real drugs if he needs some sort of high to keep him going. Probably just as dangerous as whacking caffine powder up your hooter. He could try smoking old banana skins or used tea bags like every schoolboy did when they were 10. Or Drinking vodka through his eye like Eyball Paul

75mg per kg of body weight is apparently enough to OD on.

So with 50mg Pro Plus on an 85kg man (average), it would take 127 for them to be lethal.

These figures are from www.erowid.org, I accept no responsibility for any numptie who reads this and decides to neck over 100 of the things .
