CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not sure about hot sauce, but the rest have chemical influences on the body. Alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana all have strong chemical effects, caffeine can give us energy, and chocolate supposedly gives us the same feelings as love. Because of that, they can all lead to addictions (although marijuana and chocolate don't generally cause addictions too often). I don't know what hot sauce does to us besides make food better and give some people digestion problems...

No, seriously, I am really sorry. Somthing really bad happened in my personal life right after I started this thread, and I forgot all about it.
There are two good answer sets:
The obvious answer is that they are all intoxicating at some level, and therefore, addictive. So, one might argue that since some of the above are admitted to be good things that God gives His blessing for, that having the label "addictive" is not necessarily sufficeint to show it to be a sin.
The deeper set of answers is alot cooler.
1. Each of these intoxicants is the object of its own subculture of connisuers
2. These ingestables are among the most tastable substances in our lives.
3. Some practice is required to develope a pallate for each
4. The varieties commonly held as the finest by the connisuers are often the least palatable for the inexperienced
5. These are by in large the only types of food, etc. for which information regaurding growing region is relevant enough to be printed on the label.
So, I would like to make the claim that all the appreciation that we have for the special goodness of the above we owe to our brains' associations between the particular tastes and the fact that they get us "high"
