Today I'm going to talk about Caffeine. Caffeine is a legal drug that everyone can use in Canada. It is a stimulant (if you don't know what a stimulant is you probably didn't read my first post: Say NO to Drugs. If you have not read my first post, please go and read it to understand what is happening on this post)
What you probably don't know is that if you drink coffe,energy drinks, tea or eat chocolat you are using Caffeine. Once it enters the body,Caffeine causes a sudden burst of adrenaline, burst of energy which is temporary ( 4 to 6 hours). After it has left your bloodstream, you might feel a sudden drop of energy or a "crash" and become sluggish or drowsy.
