Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.
minus-squareHTTP_404_NotFound@lemmyonline.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·1 year agoThe same thing that happened when they made shipping nicotine through the mail illegal. I stock up on a shitload of pure caffeine/nicotine, and store it. Either that, or I start extracting it from other commonly available foods… (caffeine is present in quite a few foods naturally. ) Or, finally… there would then just become a black market for caffeine. The same stuff which happened during the prohibition period many years ago.
