> Pretending caffeine is as detrimental to our society as e.g. fentanyl is prime intellectual dishonesty. These are your words, not OP's. OP isn't claiming that caffeine is as bad as any other drug. They're claiming that it, like other drugs, is likely to have negative health effects that outweigh positive ones and that it's interesting that it gets a special place in our culture while other drugs get banned and shunned. Nothing in that claim says that caffeine is as bad as the worst illegal drugs.
