As for the comparison of marijuana and coffee, can I assume you speak from personal experience? I've asked many smokers and they all agreed with the comparison so perhaps you're different than the people I know. All I can say is that if you smoke pot and disagree with the comparison then good for you. Perhaps you will share your personal experiences with us. Just be careful, you might be relating a personal side effect of yours related to marijuana and some might consider it as being similar to mental illness. Gotta watch what you say, eh? Perhaps for you it is more like drinking Jolt Cola (all the sugar and twice the caffiene!!).
As for me the comparison is perfect at least as it relates to intensity and duration. Actually No-Doz tears me up and I don't like getting the jitters. I limit myself to decaf these days.

Would you care to respond to the
evidence posted above? Or does your preference lie with shooting off absurd "strawman" arguments and logical fallacies? You realize that your extreme suppositions only make you appear uninformed and they make your opinion appear very shallow--considering that it lacks the proper support. On a sidenote, do not put words in people's mouths and do not assume
anything about
anyone else because I guarantee that it will only come back to hurt you. Oregon Elephant didn't say any of what you acted like he said. If your major "tactical" intention is to be repeatedly throwing out such false implications and "strawman" arguments like you've been doing, it would seem your credibility in the entire language arts division of debate is lacking, let alone your credibility on this specific topic.
Is there something specific that you don't get about debate? This is not the "tell me a story from your personal life" hour, this is a "prove what you're saying or shut the hell up" debate--to put it bluntly. Obviously it's still your prerogative to continue rambling incessantly about your irrelevant "experiences" but the only thing that's accomplishing is the deterioration of your position in this debate. Provide support, stop putting words in other debaters' mouths and for God's sake, make some actual
logical comparisons...
