    Food… is a drug.

    No really. Our body reacts to our diet in very strong ways. There is great debate about the “best diet”, but the one thing people can agree on is there are bad diets. (I.e. just whisper keto in a health community, taking people’s carbs away is like killing their pets)

    We should consider all of our inputs when gauging our health.

    You have to define “drug” much more specifically because many compounds that our bodies produce are also medical treatments.

    I was about to say “I’m drug free!” But then I read your first three listed drugs and was like fuck, I forgot that weed, alcohol, and caffeine were drugs lmao. They’re just legal.

    Weed and alcohol is very rare for me, maybe once or twice a month, but I literally depend on caffeine as an antidepressant.

    I should probably see a therapist.

    Yep, it’s me.

    Well, reality is not a rawdogging for me. Life can be difficult sometimes, however I always take time to contemplate small things and enjoy them. For example, when I feel bad, I concentrate on birds flying and I imagine all the amazing and complex machinery inside of their bodies for example. Of course, this is not the perfect solution that annihilates all the problems (spoiler: it doesn’t exist), but this helps me feel better and not feeling too bad.

    I think this could be the premise of a reality show. Take 20 people and cut them off from everything and see how they do. It’s an interesting thought experiment for how we would all individually do with it.

    Dang, no caffeine? You’re strict. I would like to think I don’t need caffeine, I just like the ritual of drinking coffee and when I don’t I feel slightly more pure, not that that helps me like myself anymore lol

    I both love it and hate it. I’m proud of going through it all without substances and yet I often find myself hating life, and I have a hard time waking up. So, yeah. That’s how.

    a substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

    by definition food is considered a drug, so no one I guess
