Hei more than that - as an avid weed consumer - drugs are not dangerous by themselves especially when you don't like them - they are dangerous when you create space for them and get along with them. I like to believe weed is my little "cheat" - but i'd argue that any product is an abuse on a daily basis - so taking creatine once in a while might be fun to try out - but i would warn about anything on the spectrum of "regime" that plan for a daily basis etc... especially as you rightfully justified, without a doctor or an expert being able to know what effect this is going to have on a said person.

You need creatine to live. Your body typically makes enough from protein to survive (vegetarians and vegans might need extra vigilance here).

This is just taking more to optimize performance.

It's not the same.

kidney damage. liver damage. kidney stones. weight gain. bloating. dehydration. hair loss. muscle cramps.

The fact that you estimate weed as a drug is correct - the fact that you don't realize that everything is basically a drug depending on the amount an potency is worrying.

Water is bad for you if you drink too much.

Yes because taking advice to medicine itself everyday based on an online entrepreneur forum to "boot-yourself" is 100% a good advice that you should take blindly without taking a notice on what you are doing.

You are so right.

Creatine is one of the most studied supplements over the last 30+ years. First, it is proven to work for athletic performance and second, it's relatively safe. The AI overview of your Google link even says no evidence of serious harm. If people have underlying health issues and/or they take way more than recommended there can be side effects - just like anything else we put in our bodies.
