Whilst I like coffee, at least, so long as its GOOD coffee, really, really good, or tea (lady grey, made with a hot infusion of freshly picked home-grown lemon balm and a sprig of flowering catnip and sweetened with a bit of honey is my favourite, plus a bit of grated lime zest and a squeeze of lime juice), too much caffeine doesn't agree with me, it could lessen the impact of my antiseizure med, although the latter does have rather a hefty kick to it in terms of efficiency, so it can hold its own, as long as I don't go overboard.
I do love turkish coffee though, although if I drink it, I don't drink too many cups, its nigh on strong enough to melt the enamel off the shitter when you piss it out :LOL1:, and I'll take a strong benzo (I have a script for nitrazepam/mogadon), nothing to worry about, since I only occasionally drink coffee that strong, although I do prefer either turkish coffee, or strong espresso, coffee wise.
Coke, on the other hand, I confess, I can be rather greedy when it comes to coke, and I mean the liquid kind. The other sort of coke, actually I'm not a pig for it, like some are. I can appreciate it, find it pleasant, as long as it has been subject to the ministrations of a chemist performing a purification on it, multiple, careful solvent extractions and recrystallizations etc. Even if it only returned 200mg of actual, pure as pure gets, coke, from crappy street coke, I would prefer that, to the entire lot cuts and all, its either pure coke or no coke as far as I'm concerned in that sense.
If I'm offered it, and its quality, then I might bite, even if I don't have a load of solvents, a venturi pump (vac pump that runs off a pressurized water jet), ammonia and a mild acid, plus my microscale flasks and beakers with me, but only if its good stuff. And I sure as shit stinks won't pay good money for it.
I do think highly of coca tea though, or coca leaf used the traditional way, they are quite different in their natural state than the refined product (and a good deal better for you), a cup of coca tea is for example, no more stimulating than a cup of coffee (and not instant, I mean, actual coffee. Can't abide that instant filth
), but its stimulating in a qualitatively different way, and one I would say more pleasant, and less overstimulating/less overload potential and with less undesirable peripheral sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
As for me, atm, tizanidine (an agonist at alpha2 adrenergic autoreceptors, that blocks noradrenaline release and acts as a muscle relaxer, as well as helping squash overstimulation, I take it for the nerve damage fallout from my failed knee op, that left me with an otherwise permanent, damn painful muscle spasm in my calf), heroin (some real nice stuff too, some of the best I've had, even before I've purified any cut out of it), got a quarter oz and I'm nicely relaxed atm, a side-bonus of the reason I last used any of it, was lying down, playing fallout tactics, and near jumped out of my skin, when I felt a sudden onset of my plantar fasciitis, which if you don't know what it feels like (and I hope not) feels like someone just heated up a rusty screw with a welding torch and hammered it into your heel with a brick.
Hurts like fucking christ. So I half-hopped half propped myself up on my toes to where the gear was, had a smoke of that, after first trying to massage and squash out the heel pain to not much good. A minute or so after that, I was able to walk again just fine. No more pain in my heel, at least for now. Only thing bothering me is some niggling heartburn (unconnected, I presume to my heel
), so we can add gaviscon to the list.
Also, some clonidine, which is just one of my daily meds.
