    Honestly both are fine as long as you stay within or below the average healthy limits (roughly 320mg/day for caffeine, weed might be less tested in that regard).

    Just know your own limits and make sure you have water with you.

    i switched my coffee for a B complex gummy in the AM and a B12+D after lunch. It’s been working gangbusters for my mood. Probably too much B vitamins but idgaf

      Check whats in you B complex, if B6 is a high dosage you should check in with your doctor, prolonged intake of high B6 doses can cause minor nerve damage. While you’re at it let them check your potassium levels, too much Vitamin D can lead to drastic Potassium levels which can cause health problems. At least in Germany the blood work for both is about 25€ and you tune your dose to what’s safe :)

      It’s probably safe but some people metabolize those vitamins differently and the tests are quick and simple.

        I wish I lived in a developed nation where I could just “go get blood work done” for a nominal fee or be able to afford to care about long term effects instead of surviving day to day. Not sarcastic, I legit wish that

          I feel for you, sometimes I forget to be appreciative for things like this.

          The whole thing was as uncomplicated as it can be. I was at the doctor’s for a regular checkup, during the little interview I mentioned I was taking vitamin d to alleviate the symptoms of almost no sunlight during the winter (working nights), she then explained the vitamin d - potassium relation and took some blood to check. I got the results a couple days later via email and that was that. As it was during a regular checkup it was also free of charge.

          It’s awesome to be in a place where I don’t even have to actively seek out that kind of medical attention. I got an email reminding me of the checkup with some possible appointments, I clicked on one, two weeks later I mention the vitamin d in passing and it gets tested in a timely manner for free. Easy as that. I had bowel movements more complicated than that.
