    well, im not quite sure. i grew up with it, and yeah its addicting. Because when i hear the word "drug/s" i think of like (pot/cigs./meth...ect.) i would have never thought of caffine being a "drug"and it doesnt feel like it would be. :unsure:

    yeah, but if you apply that same logic to everything else, would it apply?

    sure, but nicotine and thc are natural in tobacco and marijuana. cocaine is natural in coca leaves. why wouldn't you do any of the other drugs, but you would do caffeine?

    is it? If you're against drug use, why would you use a drug recreationally?

    if you wanna call yourself straightedge, you've got to actually be straightedge. no caffiene, no drammamine, no cough syrup, nothing. if i can eat psilocybin mushrooms in small quantities and still act responsibly, am i still straightedge? the only thing that seperates caffiene from illegal stimulants is that it has negative effects at high doses.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already but you should also be aware that caffeine is classified as a drug by the FDA, the Olympic Commitee (above a certain amount it actually becomes a banned drug in olympic events), and most nutritional research.

    Just because you don't consider something a drug doesn't alter the fact that it is a drug.

    Actually most chocolate hasthe smae amount of caffeine as "caffeine-free" tea and coffee. In other words it is not enough to cause any kind of stimulating effect.

    And saying that caffeine in moderation makes you not edge. It's like me saying that a dab or two of cocaine or speed is ok once in a while. If I did that I wouldn't be edge.
