One gentleman was using coffee to stay up for his truck-driving job and it became a big issue.

Twelve Tribes uses Yerba Mate, an herbal drink, and if you are at their Yellow Delis. And I think they market some.

Quite recently everything changed on this at Homestead. They say they accepted the latest (shill) science that shows coffee and chocolate with health benefits. Now it can be drank at home, and they have a coffee shop, and it is served in their Cafe.

Personally, I mix some coffee with Teccino and similar herbal beverages, maybe once a day, so I surely understand a more lenient approach.

However, their view of it as a drug actually served them very well for decades. And I believe bringing in coffee with a shop and daily usage does promote a type of dullardness and stimulant dependence, detracting from community life.

YMMV (your mileage may vary.)

I listened to a talk by a drug expert that talked about how western civilization changed when coffee, tea and chocolate entered mainstream use.


The caffeine increased productivity and allowed for greater useage of shift work basically in his words"it allowed man to break free of the suns rule".


Not making the case for or against, just commenting on the topic of caffeine.

Even though I drink coffee and energy drinks, they tend to have the opposite effect on me. I always find myself yawning after drinking them. I remember an instance many years ago, where I came home and drank an entire pot of coffee, and shortly thereafter went straight to sleep. Caffeine just doesn't affect me like it does most people.

Actually its the effects of your body metabolizing the caffeine. You have the alertness effects of the caffeine, but after your body completely metabolizes it you get tired. Same thing with sugar, only the metabolization happens way quicker.
