Chocolate is a psychoactive food. It is made from the seeds of the tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao. The cacao tree was named by the 17th century Swedish naturalist, Linnaeus. The Greek term theobroma means literally "food of the gods". Chocolate has also been called the food of the devil; but the theological basis of this claim is obscure.

You have to eat a lot of chocolate to have as much effect as a cup of coffee and even more to get the effects of the other psychoactive chemicals. As in coffee and tea the minute amount of caffine and theaine(sic) art still stimulants that work on the CNS to make you more alert for a short time. You would have to eat even more to get the effects of the cannabinoid like chemicals found in chocolate and in the cannabis sative/indica plants, The ancient Aztecs used lots of chocolate at least at the high end of the economic, social, religious scale so maybe they were totally ripped on the cocoa mixed with gound maize and honey that they consumed. Food of the devil only in Devil's food cake. That is because it was the food along with blood of the Aztec gods to whom the priests who had their own chocolate to consume as they ripped the hearts from the victims in what is now Mexico City. All the old gods of various native peoples were called "demons and devils" by the worshippers of the White Christ who destroyed the Aztec empire and enslaved its peoples. The little mushroom is also food of the gods by the way and its psychoactivity really has a powerful effect on the mind or rather brain. later bliss |

...Chocolate is well known to be "loaded" with phenylethylamine (PEA), a precursor to a neurotransmitter that makes us feel good. This fact has promoted the so-called "chocolate theory of love" among the ill-informed. The truth is, very little of the PEA makes it to the central nervous system. PEA is mostly digested.
