coffee

caffeine is a far more powerful drug than most appreciate

it’s not like adderall, and it’s way more Lindy, but it does “change you” in a similar sense, to a lesser degree

you are a different person on than off

it’s a very American aligned drug, gets you to work more, very simple

The history of coffee, including how it became a very American aligned drug, is fascinating. Highly recommend Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast for anyone interested in learning more about how little red berries discovered by a 9th century Ethiopian goat herder evolved into the major global commodity it is today.
