I've heard people have even died from caffeine overdoses [0]. We should ban coffee, soda and energy drinks while we're at it.
EDIT:
While my argument is sarcasm, there's both a change.org petition to ban raw caffeine [1], along with several senators who support such a ban [2].

- parent5446 9y agoOh please that's an absurd argument. Nobody here is saying we should ban every possible dangerous thing. The question becomes what are the recreational benefits of using the drug when weighed against the possible risks and side-effects. If you're willing to present statistics that more people overdose on caffeine than cause violent crime on mushrooms, then maybe you'll have something.
