“I have friends who are "marijuana addicts", who are pretty horrible to be around when they're not stoned, but fine when they are.” Change the word “stoned” to “have-had-coffee-at-least-in-the-morning” and you would be describing a large percentage of the population. It’s interesting which addictions are stigmatized and which ones are normalized.

Oh, exactly. I mean, we make jokes about how bad we are without coffee and no one says boo about how coffee should be banned.
