be careful with that stuff, its not only the reason people end up at the vets when their dog eats a bar of that really dark chocolate, theobromine i also potentially lethal to humans too so please be careful with your dosage, i forget the LD50 off hand but i remember reading in an article somewhere that around 10 bars of strong dark chocolate is enough to kill an average adult .
as for effects youre unlikely to get much more than a slight lift in energy and increased heart rate, certainly not something id consider a worthwhile chemical to be bothering with when there are plenty of more effective alternatives.
plus i have to add the standard warning here, just because its legal DOES NOT mean its not got the potential to be dangerous, it may sound kind of silly to have to say but its amazing the amount of people who think thats basically the case.
im not saying dont do it, thats your choice to make, just be careful, do your research and always measure your doses
