i don't consider caffiene, nicotine, sugar, chocolate, etc. to be intoxicants...and i'd be happy to see alcohol outlawed.

Instead of outlawing all those substances, why not outlaw the practice of government stealing your money to enable destructive behavior?
Besides, if you don't think nicotine is psychoactive you should try to take a cigarette away from me first thing in the morning. You would see that nicotine addiction is very real, and manifests itself in a much more violent manner than any desire to smoke some cannabis flowers ever could.

I was drinking 2-3 20 oz. bottles of diet coke a day up until Friday because on Thursday I was so jittery from the caffeine i could hardly sit still. The next day i didn't drink any. I had the most awful headache that not even Tylenol or asprin could relieve. I was lethargic. Caffeine is absolutely an intoxicant. I've stopped smoking marijuana for days, weeks and never had anything close to that happen. Stop caffeine for a day and I'm in for a treat. Same would apply to many people I'm sure.

That's a keeper. If alcohol was outlawed, what sentence do you think the court should hand down to a person caught with a case of whiskey? What about a person caught with an ounce of marijuana; what sentence do you think they should get?
