I didn't act like it "technically" wasn't a drug at all. I expressly said you were wrong when you tried to pin that on me the first time. What I said was that it is not comparable to weed in terms of effects. How old are you? Do these arguments work with your parents?

Caffeine is a stimulant and the other two are sedatives, by the very definition their effects are different. However caffeine is far more dangerous to consume than Marijuana, or THC for that matter, as shown through plenty of studies on the adverse and dangerous effects of caffeine especially on children. Now you keep "laughing" at me comparing them, but please demonstrate how Marijuana's effects are worse. There is chemical dependency to Caffeine there is not for Marijuana. You can overdose and die on caffeine, there is no data to show you can on Marijuana. You can cause serious long term issues from use of even minimal amounts of caffeine, the data is still limited on Marijuana, but early indications are there will be limited impact on memory long term.

Just not seeing how one is soooo much worse than the other, that they can't even be compared. Only difference is one has been commercially available for 100 years the other has been illegal with little to no scientific reason as to why.
