Template:Warning/Cocoa strains
Avoid dark chocolate from cocoa strains with high caffeine.
Chocolate may sound innocent. However, the caffeine strength differs significantly between cocoa strains used to produce cocoa solid. The Forastero strain contains virtually no caffeine, while the Criollo contains a lot of caffeine. The cocoa strains are not often declared in the ingredients on baking chocolate, so it's better to mix cocoa solids with specified strain with white chocolate. Caffeine is a stimulant, and stimulants combined with psychedelics should be used with caution. Caffeine can turn a psilocybin trip to a bad trip, even for experienced trippers. Please see this section for the difference of caffeine content in cocoa strains.
