Thanks! You just reminded me to buy one of the coffee mugs which are being called “prescription drug paraphernalia.” Even assuming that they ridicule the war on prescription drugs (itself a major assumption), since when does ridicule become paraphernalia?
With all due respect, I think these people are insane. Yet — they have enough influence to sic 28 state Attorneys General on a legitimate seller of coffee mugs.
(As usual, I despair of making sense out of reality.)
But hey, at least Volokh tried:

Yeah, ghod forbid kids should drink coffee. Doping them up on Ritalin is AOK fine.
Has the world always been this crazy, or is this a new realm of teh stoopid?
Ritalin = government.
Coffee = individuals.
I knew the war on coffee would appear; once the majority accepted the persecution of smoking and smokers, it was as sure to follow as feces follows feasts.
Stay tuned for the studies indicating the health dangers of second hand caffeine buzz.
