I doubt that people consume coffee because of its cognitive enhancing effect though.

I don't really believe there are no side effects, ritalin and coffee certainly have some. I also wouldn't want to use cognitive enhancers to solve problems. That said, I think it shouldn't be illegal.

Plenty of people specifically consume coffee to keep awake. Or smoke to improve alertness.
