Why not both?
More espresso, less depresso.
That can be said of most narcotics
This is my emotional support crack pipe, you have to let me take it on the plane!
Narcotics are opioids or other downers.
Caffeine is obviously psychoactive but is not a narcotic.
As your article mentions, there is no single legal definition of “narcotic”. That article even mentions multiple non-sedative illicit substances as being “narcotics”, such as cocaine, cannabis, etc.
Ok dweeb, by all means continue calling coffee a narcotic.
99.999% of caffeine users stop before the drink that will cure all their mental illnesses forever and ever and ever.
Eventually?!
I LOVE DRUGS
(I JUST HAD COFFEE IM SO HYPED HOMIE)
I had a similar thought to this the other day. For nearly my entire adulthood working, something around 15 years, not a single day has passed where I have explicitly recall NOT having coffee.
Addiction is real. 😬
And, following that, a laxative
I’m not going to get into the semantics of the simple equation of “drink coffee = feel good”
You mean it moves to an addiction?
I can quit it anytime I want to suffer caffeine withdrawal headaches.
Good shower thought
Interestingly, many skip that first step. Iirc, it’s about 30% who don’t get more awake but rather start to relax under caffeine. About the same % who also need to poop right after, but not the same people. Lol
Anything you regularly enjoy becomes an emotional support.
I really hope I can avoid that, haven’t fallen into it yet.
I very rarely drink coffee. I figure if it’s just going to get to the point I need it just to function normally then I might as well not start. I’m already a morning person anyway.
The exception is when I take exams. Coffee helps with the ADHD. I’ll usually drink it black since it’s not the drink I’m after it’s the caffeine.
