its a mild drug, unlike most recreational drugs(lsd, opiates, mdma) there is no 'rush' or euphoria-nothing even close to mdma. the high isn't so overpowering that you forget all your problems. compare coffee to speed- both make you more awake, but caffeine doesn't give you the bug eyed "IM WIDE FUCKING AWAKE" feeling that amphetamines give you. its more of a "im not tired anymore" feeling. its a mild drug, and really makes me feel level if anything.
