Caffeine causes excess release of stomach acids during ingestion.[48] When in withdrawal the stomach acid levels decrease substantially and can cause some stomach aches in certain people.[citation needed] The aches normally last between 24-48 hours and can be confused with constipation.

People seem to forget caffeine is an actual drug. The legality of it has little bearing on its effects.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
