caffeine is not dangerous, it has no negative effects on your body
yes it is addictive
however you can go cold turkey on it and sleep off the addiction in 24 hours
the worst withdrawal you will have is a slight headache and being grumpy for a few hours

no reason to regulate it. Sugar has much worse effects on your body in large amounts

You know, Anon, a lot of stuff in this world is illegal that should be legal, and vice versa. Some stuff is rightfully illegal, I'll give you that. But, if you are like those others who believe they know what is best and right or the masses by way of what should or should not be permitted by law, religion, or personal motives, you can suck my Oscar Myer.

To be honest, if I had my way, everything would be legal. We can sort out what is right for ourselves. We don't need you telling us shite.
