From National Geographic:
Among the 200 test subjects, those who consumed the equivalent of seven cups of coffee a day were found to be three times more likely to have hallucinatory experiences than those who consumed less than a single cup a day.Then again, you should be hallucinating if you drink 7 cups of coffee a day.
Lead author Simon Jones, a psychology Ph.D. student at Durham University in the U.K, is intrigued but cautious about the connection.
"This hasn't shown that caffeine causes hallucinations, though the data are consistent with that idea," he said.
"It could also be that people who have hallucinations are more anxious and worried, so that causes them to consume more caffeine."
