Ive been thinking of going caffeine and alcohol free for a while. Alcohol wouldnt be an issue but I really love coffee.

    Physical addiction, sure

    Except that’s an oxymoron. You mean dependency. That’s a physical thing. Addiction is a brain disorder. They’re actually medically two different things. Like a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Sometimes a thing can be both at the same time, but those two are distinct medical things.

    But as a drug I like it

    Yeah see that’s the addiction speaking.

    an overall benefit to my life and health.

    Luckily I’ve never heard this from people who shoot up amphetamines and go to work (driving a HGV) and think their boss can’t see they’re high as balls. Oh wait, yes I have.

    so I do not think smoking anything is good for you.

    And who would argue otherwise? Cannabis can be used without staining one’s teeth, unlike coffee. Just eat it.

    We’re not doing a comparison between coffee and cannabis, because this thread didn’t start with me saying “cannabis has never been proven harmful”, because I know that’s not true. You however you said is “coffee has never proven to be harmful”. Yes it has. Very clearly and obviously and there’s tons of data on it.
