Balor Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I remember that in high school my chemistry class had to read a book about caffeine. It was interesting and actually relevant to course materials until the class discussion steered towards whether or not caffeine should be regulated by the government as a potentially fatal drug. The whole time I was thinking to myself "I know that caffeine can affect you - but this is a bit ridiculous." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeh the government regulate enough, if you paid too much attention to what's 'bad' for you that the 'news' papers churn out daily you wouldn't eat or drink anything. Everything in moderation except metal, alcohol n sex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikard Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Okay so heres my deal, I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and from the ripe old age of 12 I have been under the control of one substance or another. One by one i have kicked those habits. Caffeine is the last of them so its kind of a matter of principal. Also i cannot sleep and feel very much the same as i did when i was quitting speed if that holds any weight in the philosophical discussion.

If I remember correctly, they were either doing it to try and stay awake, or as a stunt. I don't own the book anymore, so I cannot say for sure which. Either way, their deaths stemmed directly from their own stupidity (I mean, it must be common sense to know that it cannot be good for your health to ingest any large amount of a pure substance).
