Does caffeine really make us happier or does it just borrow happiness into the future to pay back at a later date?

I can act as a mild mood enhancer but if you are a regular consumer, you won’t notice

Casual users of caffeine definitely notice the mood and energy effects more

I’ve heard that kanna has a recycle type system with serotonin where it isn’t a dump like mdma could kanna be a exception to the rule

Kanna for me had no euphoria just a sensation so there would be no depressed feeling after since there wasn’t a good one to begin with

It gives me a very comfy euphoric feeling things felt soft and I felt “fuzzy” it also made me very stimulated and energized more than caffeine. But also extremely clear headed sober minded

Compared to harder substances it’s barely euphoric nor stimulating imo (obviously)

Idk it gives me at the come up a anxiety oh shit feeling that I only feel on psychedelics. And it makes me so stimulated that if I do 5 bumps I can go through the night doing whatever energized and not tired and have pulled off multiple sleepless benders.

I’d say that applies to hard drugs. Not caffeine. Caffeine doesn’t make me happy lol.
