The Legal Drug
I haven’t ever really liked coffee, but as I’ve exhausted all the various teas at work multiple times over, creating a ratings list for them and etc, I decided to give coffee another try and go through all the various coffees we have. I gotta say, I still don’t really like it, but some are better than others (French Roast is currently on top). Anyway, point being: after a few minutes of consuming coffee, I get a bit of a funny feeling in my head. It feels kinda good I guess, but definitely druggy. I don’t get this from other caffeinated drinks, I don’t even think from things like Red Bull, though it’s been a long time since I’ve infused myself with an energy drink such as that. Anyway, it’s pretty strange that society has just ruled this drug as totally acceptable. Grow coffee plants, burn pot plants!! If social history developed differently, I think this could be reversed and this liquid narcotic could be the one hunted down. Perhaps the differentiation is in the potency potential, coffee having a far lower limit. Most people are probably just used to the coffee “high” and don’t feel it anymore, like many stoners and their Mary Jane.
It’s entertaining to me how this drug is even classy in many aspects, and funny to me how people are so happy about this legal drug. I mean, coffee has a bigger fandom than any other drink I know, with wine at a close second, which also contains the drug alcohol. Is it not curious that people are so excited about a drink, that most people who drink it that I talk to say doesn’t even really taste that great?

Coffee does not impair your judgment, it just gives you a kick. It’s a stimulant, not a depressant. Thus, it doesn’t get you drunk. Coffee smells good, and only seems to taste good with sugar and milk–lots of it!

Impaired judgment + Luke’s insatiable curiosity = this?

LOL, I’d never do that… without somebody else in the room that had a knife.
