Feel free to be loose with your definitions. “Not usually considered a drug” is fine to qualify as “non-drug”, for instance. I’m not really thinking so much of “foods”, though, but maybe “food ingredients” and substances found in food ingredients are fine, especially if they’re quasi-drug-like or if you’d get a lot of the same benefits/enjoyment from it consuming it straight rather than in food.
Also ITT, tell other users why their substances actually are drugs actually.
Mine:
- Chamomile - good for my mood and gives me vivid dreams.
- Capsaicin - I and Wilbur Scoville are well acquainted.
- Cacao - I don’t really do cacao any more because I’ve quit caffeine, but I include it here because I still miss sucking on unsweetend baker’s chocolate daily.
Yeah that’s the thing, if I lower sugar too much or cut it out entirely for like two weeks, I get very moody and depressed as lonefighter described. So much that life is no longer bringing any joy and that’s not overstated. It’s just how my body feels about it - or was conditioned over time.
But it seems you are different, which I am happy for, at least you can avoid that poison.
