Youre right, sugar and high fructose corn syrup to some extent mimick the effects of some drugs.

What drugs do those substances mimic the effects of, and to what extent?
I don't want to hear, "well, sugar is a stimulant and so is cocaine," either. Please make a coherent argument.

I didnt phrase this correctly, sorry. What I meant to say was that sugary products can be addictive, and in that sense mimic drugs in your brain.
Of course sugar has no psychotropic effect, neither do cigarettes, and people are addicted to those as well but nobody would assert that smoking 10 butts at once will get you as wasted as doing an eightball. That being said nobody would argue that just because nicotine isnt getting you "wasted" it isnt forming a dependence just as heroin or cocaine would.
