is it considered a drug and are any of you against it?
I can see drinking a coke or somthing every once and a while.
but some people take the pills and thats what pisses me off. and I didnt put this in the diet section cause it has nothing to do with vegan.

i personally do not use caffine, some people think of it as a drug some don't, i don't like it cause it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, also i think of it as a drug as people do rely on it

caffeine is a drug. It's a drug that most people abuse and an amazing amount are addicted to.

What I do, and which I obviously think the best thing to do is to avoid it where you can, but not to get up in arms over the issue, there are bigger issues to deal with on a day to day basis, than if something contains caffine. For example, if you drink a 12oz. soft drink a couple times a week, it will not harm your body, in the same way that doing speed a couple times a week will. I think a better way to approach it, is to just be aware of the choices you make, and be sure that you are not consuming enough to harm yourself. Even cyanide is safe, if the portion is small enough.

Same can be said about alcohol. If a person is edge, and there for claiming a strong stance against drugs. then thats accross the board. caffiene is a drug the same as alcohol. if you preach moderation, thats cool, but to preach abstenence and not follow it through with caffine is pure hypocrisy

I don't have caffiene

Caff is my one weak point. I don't drink coffee, but what programmer can live without Mountain Dew =)

Thanks, I had to change it when the boards did, but I got to update my hair color too so it's all good.! ( ^ u ^ )

I have to ask though. Why is alcohol bad, smoking bad, illegal drugs bad, but caffine ok?

Like so many people say this but it doesn't make sence to me.

well for me like I said it is my weak point, I know it isn't good for me... I guess it just fits in the what is straight edge. Some people say no nothing, some say sex is ok, some say caff is ok and some say a poison past is ok as long as you know longer live it, some even say using steroids is ok. For me, I don't smoke, drink or do drugs for me. In my eyes, that is SxE for me.

so sXe has nothing to do with being against drugs for you?

how is caffeine not a drug?

**Pitbull** · 01-13-2005, 09:26 PM

I never said that, in fact I said I don't smoke, drink or use drugs, that is straightedge to me. I don't see caff nor sex having anything to do with it. What I wrote above was because you asked why do so many see caff is ok. I would laugh at anyone who used drugs and claimed to be edge.

I don't see it as one, just as some don't see roids as one either, personally I do, but thats me. If your going to say drinking caff goes against being edge, then 90% of the kids in the world are edge under false pretense then.
