- That's because they don't relax you (they make you more hyper) and they sure as
- hell don't taste nice. Some may taste nicer than others, but they don't taste
- nice.
-
- In my experience, most people learn to smoke so they can smoke drugs -
- myself included (except I don't do drugs, found I didn't like them, alcohol
- excepted and I don't smoke that).
-
- Coffee and Tea also make you hyper - I don't do those either, caffeine is a
- very powerful drug indeed, not life threatening in average quantities. If you
- don't beleive the addictive powers of it, try giving it up for a month or so.
- If you last that long, you'll never need it again, and you'll be much more
- relaxed into the bargain (I started at Glastonbury '90, still going strong,
- except a meeting a Sun UK Head office when all they had was tea or coffee and
- I was bloody thirsty and getting water out of them involved too much hassle).
-
- Caffeine free coke is joke, there's so little caffeine, it doesn't bear (?)
- thinking about.
