Between all the coffee, nicotine, CBD, pain killers, psychiatric meds, hormones, nootropics, and micro dosing who’s even normal anymore?

Most of what you mention isn't actually normal for most people. But it is possible to tailor your info feed to make it seem like it's normal.
2/3 of Americans drink coffee. I’ll grant you the rest of the list though.
I was on oxycodone for about 6 weeks for a growth inside my knee. After it was removed, I had to wean off the drugs. Wasn't too bad, took less than a week.
Soon after I thought I'd try to kick the caffeine habit. Went from 4 cups, to 1 over a month, then just green tea, then just water. I only lasted about 6 weeks on water only.
My god. I couldn't believe how unmotivated, soulless, and empty I felt. Judging by the reddit sub for kicking caffeine, this can last for over a year. It's terrifying

We've also been drinking coffee for a long, long time.

15-20% of Americans have taken psychiatric medications in the last year
Can't forget the amphetamines
I think that falls under psychiatric meds
Don't forgot sugar, which is stronger than cocaine
I never sold possessions to buy more sugar...
If heroin was $1/kg I doubt anyone would sell possessions for that, either.
Luckily industrialisation and the processed food industry has your back providing cheap abundant simple carbs for your pleasure and (later... discomfort)
Sugar? For snobs anyway. Corn starch for the masses.
... because sugar is extremely cheap. Even if it was legal, cocaine would be impossible to get that cheap, unless some DNA editing is done to make yeast shit it out maybe. If sugar cost $100/gram I could see crime happening to be able to taste some candy or non-sour bread.
