Caffeine is actually pretty unsafe as the margin between effective dose and lethal dose (usually stated at around 5 grams) is only 100x of a 50mg dose. The margin between a cup of coffee and a lethal dose can be less, like 50x.
Much safer than heroin, but a deadly poison compared to e.g. LSD.
And coffee is not just caffeine like tobacco smoke is not just nicotine.
