I feel this way about coffee. I was a barista for ~5 years of my life. I drink coffee everyday. I'm an advocate for coffee. I love coffee. But I can't help but feel like it's going to be demonized in the future for something we're all missing.
On a related note - though - we also demonize weed, alcohol, and cocaine. All of which used to be very differently consumed back in the day. Alcohol used to be a lot less available. People couldn't exactly go on benders unless they were the upper class. Weed was way less potent. I really wish I could buy weed that was not literally distilled to a super high quantity of THC or whatever. And cocaine used to just be chewed or drank as coca tea (which I've had since it's super common in Peru).
I feel like the real issue with "problems" in society is humans take a good thing and super-charge it until it becomes a bad thing.
