When we have a call in the middle of the night (Volunteer Firefighter/First Responder), I just grab a teaspoon of Instant coffee, pop it in my mouth, chase with a drink of water.
I'm wide awake in less than 30 seconds.

sounds like a pretty good go-pill

Pulp fiction style.

Break up pills, get powder, or find liquid caffeine. Syringe. Inject into heart.

1.) Look up medical indications for receiving IV caffeine.

2.) Go to hospital claiming to have said symptoms.

3.) Profit as I run 500mg of caffeine IV over one hour directly into your bloodstream.

You can purify caffeine pills using acetone.
1) smash up your caffeine pills
2) add acetone
3) mix it up real good
4) collect the acetone, leave the solids behind
5) put the acetone on a glass plate
6) let the acetone evaporate
7) profit!

Snort this.

works for pseudophedrine too :eek:

then reduce with lith / annhydrous ammonia :eek:

grow crystals, or gas off with a vacuum/evap to a fine powder... :eek:

call up some girls

profit?

lol. I love ephedrine so much. Aside from being the only decongestant that actually works, it'll make you sexual tyrannosaurus. It's cheap too; a whole bottle costs as much as a Starbucks mocha.

Massive amounts of dark delicious coffee. The caffiene withdrawal headaches during the middle of the night is killer. Nothing like waking up at 3 in the morning with a pounding headache right in the middle of your brain.

Eh? I have heard it has the opposite affect, because blood cannot enter.
Unless we have different meanings for tyrannosaurus...

BTW, I can feel caffeine's effects within 5min.

Many years ago in Organic Chem lab, I extracted caffeine from tea leaves... and then accidentally spilled the extraction in my lab drawer. It dried to pure, white, powdered caffeine. Every time I opened my lab drawer that semester, I would be struck by the glorious smell of pure caffeine. The only thing that kept me from licking the inside of my lab drawer clean was the possibility that other, much more toxic substances had been spilled in that drawer over the years.

My name is Michael, and I am a caffeine addict.

It could possibly kill you. It has happened with alcoholics quite often. It bypasses the digestive system and you get the full effect without. For the same reason hospitals give fever patients suppository acetaminophen and not oral :(
