Please, it's not too late.

To the OP: I find my "spiritual receptors" were blocked more from the mind-numbing crap spewed at church every week than caffeine. I felt what the church refers to as "the spirit" while drinking coke, alcohol, and also in situations where they claim I shouldn't have felt it.
Perhaps caffeine isn't the problem, and mind-control is...

You offer no evidence for the assertion – just the assertion. Millions of people drink coffee and never use alcohol or crack or any other drug (in the illegal category).
“Countless lives…” You’ll indulge my skepticism of such a claim. Your association appears to be with a most limited group. No evidence has been established for a causal link of caffeinated beverages with illegal drugs. Show us the evidence of a direct relationship/connection.

There is no question that the brain acts differently when caffeine is ingested. Many claim that they can perform physically better, answer questions or solve problems quicker or even focus better when under the influence of caffeine.
While caffeine rushes blood to the Temporal lobes it does it at the expense of removing and possibly damaging the Frontal lobe. The temporal lobes at full stimulation causes individuals to speak quicker, remember things faster but the frontal lobe may in fact be critical in spirituality.
The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning, planning and emotions which very well may be three major and critical aspects to growing spiritually. I believe the damage being caused by caffeine to the prefrontal cortex can be reversed by withdrawal from these harmful substances. While the Word of Wisdom mentions physical benefits that may happen from following it, I believe the greatest benefits are spiritual.
