Why are we allowed to drink coffee, if it's literally a drug?

I never drank coffee and whenever I did, I felt like I was out of this world. Having different ideas in my head going back and forth, trembling when I speak, shaking my legs, being hyper while being tired, grinding teeth

    Of course coffee is a drug.  There are zillions of drugs that are commonplace.  The difference between legal and illegal is usually rather arbitrary or historical.  Beer is legal.  Marijuana is not.  Aspirin is legal, valium is only prescription.  Pseudoephedrine was legal now it is not.
