i love meat but caffine sucks i just drink water and if i am really trying to party i drink sprite. but if you drink caffine its still edge.
Meh, some stuff I like contains caffeine, I don't experience any withdrawals or drug like effects, I'm not going to cut them out because they could be argued to be a drug.
While obviously I refuse to use any mind altering substances, or I wouldn't be in here, I'm not overly concerned with cutting out any little thing that could be seen as a narcotic.
Sugar could be considered a drug. Common salt slightly stimulates the adrenal glands. Should I give up those too?
I'm a person just like you
but I like to fuck some shoes
On the sofa or in my bed
It's better than getting head
Tie the laces on my schlong
'cos of a nike air max it's standing strong
I'll even hump it till i bleed
normal sex life i don't need
you can argue that pretty much everything is mind altering. but you show me a guy who will sell his kids for a monster energy drink and then i will agree that caffine is a drug.
caffeine is the most abused drug on earth. If your criteria about what drugs are "bad" are extremes, then I'd imagine you'd be ok with prescription drug abuse, marijuana, mdma and any other number of drugs that don't lead to harmful addictions.
the issue with caffeine is one of consistency. Caffeine is a drug. It is addictive. It is hypocritical to be against the use of recreational drugs and then use one, simply because it's socially accepted and if effects aren't that severe.
Dusty I think you should make an FAQ about caffeine.
Each of the 100 times this is discussed, people always come back with the same shit.
"Minor Threat drank coke so it's OK"
"I drink caffeine and it doesn't alter my mind so it's OK".
blah blah blah, you get the idea, an FAQ we could link to the hundreds of people who question this would save you and alot of other people on here alot of time with typing the same stuff over and over agian.

there is no argument. it is a drug.
but that attitude could for someone else mean an occasional small glass of wine is omissible, you just end up moving away from a clear and definitive line and instead make a lot of grey area.
sugar is not a drug its a food. You can consider it what you like, consider it a spaceship if you like but its not a spaceship and its not a drug. Stimulating a gland is not the definition of a drug, a million and one things stimulate glands that no one in their right mind would consider a drug so why salt? Again salt is a food and we need it, caffeine on the other hand is a drug and we don't need it. You use it because you aren't bothered enough to omit it due to some slight inconvenience it may cause. As for your question of should you give up the foods salts and sugar...well thats up to you but seeing as they aren't drugs i am very curious as to why you would?
Others walk the bow, I walk the string
Not if you decide on a definition.but that attitude could for someone else mean an occasional small glass of wine is omissible, you just end up moving away from a clear and definitive line and instead make a lot of grey area.
To me anyway if it alters your mind and makes you not yourself, it's a drug.
Not according to the neurologist Candace Pert. In her book Molecules of Emotion she describes it as acting like a drug.sugar is not a drug its a food.
There are some SXEs who even abstain from refined sugar because it may make you hyperactive.

Try teaching a classroom of kids after they've had birthday cake and tell me that sugar isn't a drug.
I've never heard of edgers avoiding sugar for strictly sxe reasons. However, there is the debate about white sugar in veg*n circles. It's said that white sugar is run through bone char. (Althouh I don't find it to be much of a debate since the sugar companies will admit to using bone char and other sources, such as PETA and VegFamily, has verified it.)

its funny that you say i would be ok with perscription drug abuse because that is what im brother died from. i know the severity of drugs all to well. i know what it is like to grow up with an alcoholic father, i know what it is like to have your shit stolen from you because of a junkie of a brother. i know what its like to visit him in prison. i know what its like to listen to his lies and then watch him steal money from my parents. and i know what it is like to identify him in a morgue and i know what it is like to bury him. so sorry if your facts dont change my ideas on caffine. if my brother would have just been drinking pop instead of robbing pharmacies for oxycotons then his 3 kids would still have a dad.
Caffine isnt a drug
