    All of those should require a waiver. Better yet, they shouldn’t exist at all at that strength. Just because they are widely available doesn’t mean they are safe. There is literally no reason anyone ever needs to consume 260mg of caffeine in one sitting. If someone can’t wake up with less than 300mg of caffeine in their system then they need to seek immediate medical attention because they are into full on addiction at that point.
