Actually raises a discussion worth having. Coffee* is addictive. Who's victimized by coffee*? Does that mean coffee* should be illegal?
Substitute addictive thing of your choice for coffee*. Capacity for addiction can't be the only criteria we use to ban things, nor the damage caused by those addictions. We need to consider the relative frequency of addiction, the severity of addiction compared to "normal" use, et cetera et cetera.

Poor South American peasant wage serfs forced to pick coffee beans in what is tantamount to slavery?
Maybe?
But coffee addiction can lead to health problems such as migranes, which can also affect the people that live with or work with the addict in question.
But no one alleged that the level of victimhood was in any way even across the board did they?
The question of coffee being illegal isnt worth addressing.
Annnndd...I think you missed my point totally.
If you're going to blatantly ignore the meat of my post, please just don't bother replying. I know you know how to read.
