Pure Caffeine Powder

Measuring out pure caffeine powder by yourself is an easy way to overdose on caffeine. It would be hard to drink enough coffee, soda, or tea to ingest a fatal amount of coffee, since the LD50 dose (which is the amount, which, if taken by a group of humans, would kill 50% of them) is around 150-200 mg/kg. This is about 100 regular cups of coffee.

Even though it would take 10-15 grams of pure caffeine to kill a regular person, someone with a heart or liver condition can be fatally caffeinated with significantly less. Healthy young people have been put down with as little as one gram.

Caffeine overdose comes with a laundry list of uncomfortable symptoms, so even if you survive your spoon-dip into the bag of pure caffeine powder, you’ll be left with hours upon hours of nausea, chest pains, heart palpitations, sweating, and irritability.
