you're free to take it, I believe that everyone should make their own decision, but I completely disagree. I am completely opposed to any form of mind altering substance

Not even coffee, tea, or chocolate?

To not consume chocolate is a sin

of course I like coffee, tea AND chocolate, who doesn't?

caffeine and theobromine are mind altering substances

My thinking too lol

Knew this argument was coming so that's why I let it slide.

Caffeine just lightly blocks aderosene receptors, and releases norepinephrine which increases beta waves and shortens P300.

Theobromine targets the same receptors, but in a much weaker form, and significantly improves mood.

Psilocybn binds to seratonin receptors, triggers hallucinations, rewrites your DMN and rewires connections between your neurons.

At best you could argue that regular caffeine exposure significantly increases the tolerance of your aderosene receptors, and makes you dependent on it, but the effects are not on the same planet.

Not arguing. I honestly don’t care. Do what you want. Be happy

You’re not a success until you start getting haters.

I welcome it

I'm not a hater, I love what he's doing, I just disagree on drugs

Copy. Was checking out your work.. nice!

also, will be checking out Bonds of Time. Friendly feedback - check your hashtag, hyphens are not supported. Maybe capitalize? #BondsOfTime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah maybe haha thanks for the tip!

You know nothing in the spec technically prevents that, it's just that some clients don't support it

YW! And understood. Unfortunately until there’s consistency we have to be what works. Up to you, just didn’t know if you had seen it. Part of me says change it, another says leave it for when consistency catches up. Your call. Keep creating!

So true

It is a friendly debate and just happens to be a specific hang up of mine given the culture of severe stigmatization that we all live in. To be honest, I actually thought you were going to say you didn’t drink caffeine either. I’m kind of jealous of people who don’t.

That’s a pretty vague definition. What is ‘mind altering’ really?

Every day after birth we ingest substances that keep us healthy (or not!) and continually alter our chemistry until death.

Sugars, coffee, tea, chocolate… even sleep and natural endorphins and dimethyltryptomene produced in our own brains drastically alter our perceptions from one day to the next. Even water or oxygen could even be considered ‘mind altering’ in that they allow your brain cells to function!

What about books? My mind has been ‘altered’ more from great books than anything perhaps anything else!

Ultimately, there is no ‘reality’ so there is nothing to alter. Only a vast infinity to explore.

This is why I hate the term “drugs”. The stuff I respect is more of a medicine and herb. Many things alter our minds like you said that are so common place that we mistake them as such. The way the government manipulates language is obscene
