5mg of amphetamine, while a light dose, is much stronger than a strong cup of coffee.
- thebean11 7y agoHow do you measure "strength"? It's probably more euphoric, might result in higher "alertness" (based on some arbitrary test), on the other hand though it probably wouldn't raise your heart rate more than the coffee, or your blood pressure.
- oarabbus_ 7y agoIt would do all of those things more than a typical cup of coffee; 5mg amphetamine is the lowest common dose (something like a 6-8oz cup of coffee), whereas 10-20mg is more common. A small 8oz coffee has ~120mg caffeine, and a 12oz cup has ~180mg. a 10mg amphetamine has considerably stronger effects on the CNS than even 180mg caffeine, and a far greater psychoactive effect. We are of course assuming a "typical" individual; there are those who have extreme jitteryness off half a cup of coffee, as there are those who experience myocardial events off typically therapeutic doses of amphetamine.
