Can caffeine make a person hallucinate?

Answer 1

Yes. Caffeine is a powerful alkaloid - similar in structure and nature to cyanide and strychnine - and is produced by the coffee plant to fend off insects, as is nicotine produced by tobbaco as an insect repellant. If you lack a certain enzyme to detoxify it, it can accumulate in the brain and tissues causing severe central nervous system issues, like hallucinations. Interestingly enough, coffee was used by the mystical school of Islam, Sufism, as a religous sacrament....it would be drank in the evenings for inspiration before chanting and twirling about.

Answer 2

If you drink an excess amount of caffeine, it is not hallucinate drug, and yes it is a drug,, by drinking to much coffee you can cause yourself to get severe migraines and a aura felling about you and can cause you to have a rush felling as if you can not calm yourself down.. I am a energy healer and many of my clients that come to me are or were coffee addict. Once their bodies are cleansed from all of the caffeine toxic they start to fell better.. Now I am talking about a person that drinks 6 plus coffees a day and seem as if they can not function with out their coffee that is were they need to cut back quit a bit. I am not saying not to drink coffee it does have some benefits like a cup or two for a woman having her period it can help the crams sometimes One of my lady clients came to me because she was having migraines just about everyday and didn't know why.. when I asked her if she drank a lot of coffee? She said she only drank 5 espresso a day,,, now she has cut down to one in the morning has no more headaches. In some people caffeine does the opposite to much coffee can make you less less. Like I said coffee does have its place in moderation.
