No coffee, no soda, no energy drinks.

Just for a few days so all the addicts have to go through withdrawal.

It's hilarious seeing people that stigmatize drugs and lord over others freak out because they don't have their daily fix of caffeine.

"Don't talk to me before I drink my drug!"

Most people seem to be of the impression that it's just like Tylenol or a prescription

Violent? Sure. Insane? No.

Feel like it when people are intellectually dishonest though.

"Stop doing such and such, evil drug doer! Now, hand me my energy drink or else I won't be able to function!"

Pretty sure modern has nothing to do with it. Opium has been around since BCE, where as coffee was discovered in the 11th century or so. I don't think modernity has anything to do with legality.

Seems to me that there are very little health risks associated with even heavy caffeine use, the LD50 is ridiculously safe, and the psychoactive effects are completely complementary to the normal life of a functioning citizen.

Anyway, obligatory "cut myself on all that edge in this topic".

Heroin itself is only a bit over a hundred years old.

And you can but opium poppy pods and seeds legally. You can even wash opium out of them, illegally.

Sure. Try being around a caffeine addict when they can't get their fix. I wouldn't call that "no effect". I'd call it a total change in personality due to withdrawal from a drug.

Only reason you don't see people freaking out more is because caffeine is so readily available. That's why I suggested banning it for a few days so when all the addicts crash, they won't have a pedestal to stand on.

I think Goggles is confusing "caffeine withdrawal" with "people getting pissed because they have to talk to his dumb ass."

Jealous people in general tend to suck, sadly. Instead of longingly envying the happiness of others with, they wish everyone were unhappy.

It gives you zero energy.

All caffeine does is block adenosine receptors, effectively blocking your brain's ability to know it's tired. It's why once the effects pass you feel super tired.

Jokes on you, caffeine withdrawal takes more than a week to kick in for me. I'll be fine for these "few days".

It's also funny you think caffeine is as bad as actual drugs. Joke topic.

Physically and mentally, no, of course not. But if one is accepted and laughed at while others are stigmatized and looked down upon, then that is hypocritical.

The fact that people just laugh off the violent or angry way they behave without their coffee is sickening. If you're a shitty person before you ingest a substance, no matter what it is or what it does, you are every bit as addicted as someone who gets crabby without their coke or whatever it is they take.

No, but they need empathy, and going through a few days of feeling like shit is a good way to get them to see things from different perspectives.

Empathy is the last thing you get from people when you take away something harmless that they enjoy.

Huh. That's usually how it happens for everything else. Person A experiences something they don't like so when person B goes through something similar, they can empathize.
