Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

The entire premise of this question seems insane. The only industry in which caffeine is vital is probably the coffee industry.

Yeah, there would be a black market and what not but that doesn't mean the world would stop turning off supply ran out.

Don’t forget many types of tea have similar levels of caffeine. And US started a whole war over a tax on tea much less a ban.

The us revolutionary War was more about taxes in general, not just tea.
