      So he was "totally not into drugs" but ODd and died. Um...

      http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/excessive-caffeine-led-to-death-of-midlands-teen-coroner-says/439888018

      Against illegal drugs. Caffeine is not a monitored and controlled substance. So yes, the child could have easily been anti-drug "just say no" etc and still been addicted to a legal substance (caffeine).

      That's not against drugs. That's against not breaking the law. Which is totally fine, but a very different thing.

      You're splitting hairs here.

      A person can morally be against the use of drugs, or they can want to "not break the law". But your assumption here is that if drugs weren't illegal they'd be used (and that is a bad assumption).

      My assumption is he wasn't against drugs as he took one liberally.

      He took an uncontrolled substance liberally.

      Eating catfish is a form of a drug, because everything is just a chemical bag in a specific form. Just because one chemical in that chemical bag can be dangerous doesn't mean you are pro drug use.

      Caffeine is a drug. Plain and simple. There's nothing more to it. It's a mood enhancer.

      And so are all of the chemicals in literally everything.

      If we could suck serotonin and dopamine out of water does anyone think we'd bother with anything else.

      If I had vials of liquid serotonin and dopamine, I would inject them straight into my eyeball if necessary. That would save a lot of unnecessary steps and calories.

      well damn... funny but damn.
