Caffeine is claimed to consist of the same substances as cocaine and heroin.

The claim that caffeine consists of the same substances as cocaine and heroin is inaccurate. Caffeine, cocaine, and heroin are different chemical compounds with distinct structures and effects. Caffeine is a legal stimulant found in coffee, cocaine is a powerful illegal stimulant, and heroin is an opioid. None of the evidence supports the claim that these substances are chemically similar in composition. Therefore, the claim is incorrect based on the available evidence.
