Hi, all! Yesterday I received in the mail my most recent order of cocoa beans. Having been deprived for quite some time, and hungry too, I ended up eating about a third of the 8 oz. bag. WOW. Talk about a buzz. Talk about appetite suppression. Talk about hangover. I had read about getting "high" from these, but never quite believed it because I hadn't experienced it myself; of course, I had never eaten such quantity and had never been 100% raw while enjoying them.
About an hour after eating them, I felt great, on top of the world. I loved the world, and it loved me. This lasted for a couple hours. Then came the jittery, don't even think about eating anything because your stomach is a big tangle of knots, have I been drinking lots of coffee? feeling. That lasted another couple hours. Thankfully, the caffeine-like feeling didn't interfere with sleep & I zonked out early. This morning, I feel much better, but my stomach is still kind of knotty, and I'm wondering if this is really cocoa bean-related, or if it's just because I didn't eat anything last night. Anyway. Very bizarre. Thought I'd share. Thanks for listening!
