After developing an allergy to hops (no more beer for me), I became a hard whiskey drinker, and thus found myself drinking a lot of coffee to "balance." Needless to say, marijuana was also a big part of the equation. After a hard night of drinking on Saturday, I'd even wake up to an Irish coffee (Irish whiskey and coffee for the uninitiated) and a bowl. While I felt I needed the coffee to get revved, I found it made me feel jittery, and I would smoke even more in an attempt to take the edge off...It never seemed to work...just made me even more edgy...
I've since quit drinking, limited my coffee intake, and find myself drinking tea almost all day. Black tea, green tea, yerba mate...all great. Celestial Seasonings even makes Morning Thunder, a combination of yerba mate and black tea (excellent for those that love the coffee buzz without the coffee jitters). I have a french press, and even when drinking an entire pot of yerba mate, I have all the clarity of mind and energy associated with the caffeine buzz but without the negative effects of too much coffee. As a reader and gamer, I love the alert aspects without the jitters. I've almost always got a cup of tea next to me while vaping...awesome stuff. Mate FTW.
