What a sad footnote to drug addiction in the civilized
world.Inventors have created a soap infused with caffeine which helps users wake up in the morning.
The soap, called Shower Shock, supplies the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee per wash, with the stimulant absorbed naturally through the skin, manufacturers say.
“Tired of waking up and having to wait for your morning java to brew? Are you one of those groggy early morning types that just needs the extra kick?” ask the makers, thinkgeek.com.
I'm not trying to say caffeine is in the same ballpark with cocaine or heroin. Heck, it's not even in the same league with marijuana (because caffeine is addictive) but are you freakin' kidding me? The same people that would pass judgment on someone that so much as tried cocaine or heroin one time are so addicted to caffeine that they have to take it transdermally? What's next, caffeine suppositories? (stay away from the
special dark roast) What a thin line these hypocrites tread if they support the drug war and advocate incarceration for people who have "let a substance take control of their lives."
A razor thin, jittery, jittery line.
