Are we including all drugs here, or merely illicit ones? How about Alcohol? Nicotine, caffeine?

Yes. Anything that has an effect outside of the digestive system should be suspect.
That's.. a lot of things. Even various foods have effects outside of the digestive system.
Yes. After quitting caffeine I realized I had to be more careful about eating dark chocolate, for example.
All the drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, caffeine. Why are you asking?
I'm asking because more often than not, commonly legal drugs are viewed differently, when some of them can be incredibly harmful.
I am a nicotine addict who wishes cigarettes would have been illegal back when I started. I see absolutely no benefit for smoking. Alcohol and caffeine in moderation have some, but your doctor's opinion should still be the deciding factor.
Did you seek a professional evaluation about how caffeine effects you? Or did you notice that it makes you slightly more alert, with minimal side effects? How do you choose which professional should evaluate your drug use?
