"Coffee addicts can use their cheap, easily affordable, drug of choice openly, in public, in front of children even and no one bats an eye.... That's why nobody's stealing to support a coffee habit. Nothing to do with the drug itself."
That part.
ever been to a baseball game
look up what happened june 4, 1974.
but nobody bats an eye at using alcohol "openly, in public, in front of children".
compare to what happened in prohibition, adulterated spirits giving people methanol poisoning, the wide spread of bootlegging, etc.
access matters.
