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.

    Gobs of honey and bit of lemon juice in hot water. I find it soothing and stimulating at the same time.

    I’ve heard that some people add hard liquor to this, but I don’t drink.

    Also, a hot chocolate with oat milk.

    I find myself actually needing coffee in the morning as I’m getting older.

      I don’t know if you get Oatley brand oat milk where you are, but they do a chocolate milk. Steamed up with an espresso machine, just a little bit of cacao, a squirt of cold whipped cream, and you have yourself a little cup of heaven, my friend.

        I do get Oatley, but it’s expensive unless it occasionally shows up in Grocery Outlet.

        I have a giant can of cocoa powder so I don’t have to have a half-gallon box of chocolate milk hogging space in my fridge, and having to worry about consuming all of it before it turns.
