Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

I'd have a rough few weeks coming off my 8 espressos a day habit but I'd get over it eventually

[-] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I consider a double shot the minimum portion - do you have 8 of those?

[-] Moghul@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I do not. I have 4 of those. It's 2 capsules per cup out of a nespresso machine or a double shot from the office machine, 4 times a day.

[-] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ok, 4 of those is more than me most days, but not too bad

[-] Moghul@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's probably too much by a lot, and I'll have to stop at some point, but I really enjoy the taste and the social aspect of getting up and walking over to the coffee machine with the team. We get a couple minutes to chitchat, ask any technical question we have, etc.

Offices won't get any work done before 10am. Soldiers would fall asleep at their posts.

I'd probably die.

Cartels would become huuuuuge (more hugerest than now) also fast car and fast boats sales would skyrocket.

Personally I would pass away and die.

That day I will definitely not being in the office. I mean... It's gonna be a wreckfest.

Well, without caffeine i would turn into an ax wielding murderous psychopath. Humanity would seize to exist, nature would heal and the world would rebuild itself. Lizards would become the dominant species and tadaaaa!

The software industry would stall out, mass unemployment, dramatically more car crashes. Coffee, black and green tea, most soda, and some drugs would disappear from shelves and stores. Coffee shops would all close, you'd be able to get pretty much just water with your big Mac, midol takers would be furious and in pain, ADHD people would have to try harder to fall asleep. For lack of a better term, there would be a rubber band effect apocalypse while the shadow markets got set up and supplies

Does caffeine help individuals with ADHD in sleeping in some way?

Take away my morning coffee, and you’ll have me becoming a super villain taking over the world.

Just a reminder that a substance being legal doesn't mean you should consume it.

It would be yet another failed policy pushed by the kind of idiots who like to ban things. Comics/Guns/Porn/Drugs etc.
