    Caffeine doesn’t require a laboratory or manufacturing operations. It can come from plants. What would happen is people start growing and developing an underground caffeine distribution network and underground caffeine import network from countries that aren’t dumb.

    Weed users are less than 20% of the US population and that was a shadow industry bigger than most legal industries. Compare to 60% drink coffee every day, then there’s tea drinkers and of other caffeinated beverages; people would riot and/or go underground to get their caffeine.
