Mountain Dew?

I am looking for something like a stimulant.

Morning exercise, with tons of water.  I've also heard lemon + green tea is good...not as strong as coffee, but you should try to cut back on caffeine, get your body back in balance, and then coffee will work again.

You'd want to limit it to a couple cups once a day in the morning.  If you start drinking coffee throughout the day, it does get to a point where you don't drink it for the jolt but keep drinking it to avoid crashing.

So the answer is to cut back and then the morning coffee will have their intended effect.

There is a substance out there called kratom, but it can be addictive.  It's technically in the coffee family, but does act on the same receptors that opioids hit.  It has great properties for pain relief, relaxation, and also can help people wake up in the morning by relieving the discomforts involved.  It can help people who suffering from anxiety.  It's banned in about 3-4 states, and Trump's FDA chief, a big pharma revolving door guy, tried to get it banned as "unsafe and ineffective" ... despite the fact that a pharma company he's tied to got an extract of the active ingredient from kratom patented and approved by the FDA as "safe and effective".  Go figure, right?

kratom is used by opioid addicts to prevent withdrawal symptoms and by people with chronic pain where nothing else has helped.  It is somewhat addictive on its own, but more like how coffee is addictive than an opioid would be.  Unlike opioids, kratom does not impair the faculties or reflexes.  People in the Southeast Pacific, where it grows natively, chew on the leaves or make teas out of the leaves, and have used it for centuries to help them get through long days of hard labor.

Mountain Dew + Cigarettes will do it.

  Ha ha, yes it will....in the short term.

Chaga mushroom is a fungus that grows primarily on birch trees in cold climates. With an appearance similar to burnt charcoal, it has been harvested for centuries as a traditional medicine.

You can get it on eBay.  For about 20-40 bucks you get a year's supply because you use very little, as it steeps in water leeching out it's properties over days.  The longer it steeps, the more health benefits you get.  It tastes like coffee with less bite and will even complement coffee if you so choose. If chaga isn't your cup of coffee, you can try dried dandelion root which is also a healthy coffee substitute.  I recently purchased chaga and it tastes great.  I let mine steep on the stove on warm, and add water daily until eventually the water becomes clear, then I add more.  

Does it have an energizing effect though? I get my caffeine via this energy powder you shake in a shaker cup.
