Overdose The LD50 of cocoa powder in humans is estimated to be around 25-100 grams per kilogram of body weight. Because cocoa can act as a powerful (compared to other weaker stimulants on their own) stimulant, it can be considered addictive, but less so than compounds such as amphetamine and DOx compounds. Caffeine dependence and withdrawals have been documented. monoamine oxidase inhibitors or reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase could potentially boost the actions of phenethylamine or, more dangerously, raise levels of monoamines to very high amounts which could cause high blood pressure or less potentially, serotonin syndrome. Cocoa powder can be legally obtained likely in every country, although some countries have restrictions on the sale of caffeine. - Responsible use - Caffeine - Phenethylamine - Theobroma cacao* (Wikipedia) - Cocoa bean (Wikipedia) - Cocoa solids (Wikipedia) - Dark chocolate (Wikipedia) - Chocolate (Erowid Vault) - Theobroma cacao (Chocolate) (Erowid Vault)
