My girlfriend got angry at me when I pointed out drinking coffee is same as taking drugs.Coffee has a lot of caffeine which has1) No nutritive value2) Acts as stimulant (of course a mild one)3) People repeat it, over time the amount of coffee people take increases to produce the same effect.Just because everyone drinks it doesn't make it something good.#coffee #tea #caffeine

@redstarfish similarly, that doesn't make it necessarily bad, as long as you're not an extreme user.

@groff @redstarfish Caffeine is one of the four legal recreational drugs:Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and sugar.

@groff @redstarfish Side note: if one takes a total lack of nutritive value seriously, then alcohol is not a drug either, which doesn't make any sense.Plus, fructose is treated almost exactly like alcohol by the body's filtration systems.

@urusan @redstarfish In what jurisdiction? I have access to a canabis store and others can get legal shrooms.

@groff @redstarfish US in general (still schedule 1 as ridiculous as that is), though that may change soon.

@urusan @redstarfish It is absurd, but fortunately the DEA and Justice Dept have chosen not to intervene where states have legalized. The only reason canabis was made sched. 1 is bigotry and religious fanaticism.

Coffee can be seen as stimulant but not necessarily as addictive drug. That depends on how much you drink it. Just one cup every morning isn't likely to form addiction.People who make themselves coffee dependent are different tho.

@redstarfishAgree #caffeine is a drug and that too many people have way too much.#Nestle and likely other big brands of coffee have also been known to have dangerously high levels of #glyphosate, which sources have said is to speed the drying of the product. So most coffee today is probably considered #carcinogenic too.But we know people who are extremely moderate in there intake one a day, and they go days without it. They don't need increasingly more.Many who abuse…1/3

@redstarfish people also go through caffeine withdrawals. Caffeine is obviously a drug (going by medical definition) but what I find concerning is your implication that drugs are inherently "not good." Drugs are not inherently good or bad; and, it's not simple to always evaluate the relationship that someone has with a drug. I use drugs all the time but I have a healthy relationship with the substances I use.

@redstarfish and also important: unlike herb tea or malt coffee production and transportation is deeply rooted in exploitation of labor and nature of poorer countries.

@redstarfish This is why I think that weed and other non-harmful drug should be legal.

@redstarfish You're forgetting that coffee is rich in the single most important essential nutrient -- water! Also, probably has some amount of some micro-nutrients as well.

@redstarfish Medical and pharmaceutical studies have concluded that moderate consumption of coffee (2 expressos/day or equivalent) can prevent some heart diseases.

@redstarfish #Chocolate and soda also contains caffeine and sugar. The latter is even more addictive than cocaine. Point is there are a lot of drugs and addictive substances we consume, and they are able to be consumed in moderation.A Saturday night toke is no more harmful than someone getting diabetes from eating too many donuts.
