Bro consuming enough caffeine to paralyze an elephant. Any yerba-mate drinkers on hexbear? I'm looking for a source of caffeine cheaper than coffee. Last two months I've seen the largest food price increase since the pandemic and coffee is just about off the menu at this point. I kept going cheaper but I realized that as you go down the cost structure the coffee has less caffeine (img below) and I'm at diminishing return level now. Yerba-mate is a sub tropical woody long growing plant so even If I could grow it I probably wouldn't be able to get enough caffeine out of one plant but if I can get seeds I might give it a try. Amazon has a 4.4 lb bag for $19. Thats much cheaper than coffee but I can't get good info on how mate compares lb for lb wrt caffeine.
You can buy caffeine acetate, weigh it (with a very precise scale) and put it into whatever food you want
I might have to try that. 500 100mg tabs on amazon for $9.99 and if avg cup has 100mg than 500 cups vs 30 cups for a lb of coffee
my gf and I take a caffeine pill in the am sometimes instead of coffee. works just the same. I think the pills are cheaper than coffee. we just get them at walmart.
