drug, or not

[SENSESFAIL]

i dont think its a drug because its a natural herb, what do you think. and i was bored lol

[general]

yes it is a drug because it effects the brain and/or body but this does NOT mean that it is a bad drug.

[smokin poet]

it cant b a drug if it can be naturally grown and untampered with by ppl

[SENSESFAIL]

yea, thats what i say, drugs are man made and kill you.

[Hydrizzle]

drugs can be good or bad, so ya weed is a drug. it DOES put a chemical in you.

[general]

if there wasnt a drug(thc) in weed it wouldnt get you high

[Stedric]

I agree, "drug" is a very vague term. A "drug" is basically any chemical that has an effect on the human body. So weed definetly fits into that category.

what about opium then in its natural form it still has the same effect's as morphine it's just not as potent but certainly just as addictive and coca leaves used by the natives of the andea's they have chewd on these leaves for years for a quick pick me up certainly not the same high as say powder or crack cocaine but there is a high none the less.. the ibogo root from africa is a very powerful halucigen in its natural form but still has the same results as ibogaine and of coarse there is nicotine the most addictive substance known to man which is also from a plant and does not require any processing

[SENSESFAIL]

yea, but its natural, so it was put here for a reason,the herbs where ment to do those things to you.

[Oli]

It is, by definition, a drug so I voted yes.

[SENSESFAIL]

but also weed wasnt as strong as it is now because we have crossbreeded it.

[somebody someone]

lol fucking stupid question, of course its a drug, since when have u determined that drugs HAVE to be man made... alcohol and cigeretes are drugs too, legal ones

[SENSESFAIL]

we also made alcohol

[Calliesmokes2]

I don't think its a drug, like people have said its just a natural herb that affects your mind. Its not like someone's makin it in some laboratory or somethin. Just my opinion, I'm stoned right now so I guess I'm biased lol

[mono repin]

... who cares what its called? Because something is classified as a drug it becomes bad or something? Because everything man made is bad?!?!?! What is the point?

... sorry I'm in a foul mood... lots of bud, but can't smoke it for another 12 hours.

[Calliesmokes2]

^Hey yeah thats true dude, I mean whether its a drug or not I'm still doin it, we all are right. Sorry u can't smoke for 12 hrs,, that really sucks man!

[Kid Dynamite]

weeds is defined as a drug. Just because its natural dosent stop it being a drug. Opium is natural and its class A.

[BluntArtist]

You'd have to catagorize mushrooms and peyote with marijuana...all natural...all delicious.

[Dick Justice]

BluntArtist, your avatar makes me wonder what would happen if I fed my dog a shroom or two...

Anyway, dictionary.com sez:

drug
n.

1.
1. A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication.
2. Such a substance as recognized or defined by the U.S. Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
2. A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction.
3. Obsolete. A chemical or dye.


"A chemical substance that affects the CNS, causing changes in behavior and [knuckle under to gov't policy here]." Now, some would say that AIR does these things as well, but I'd say that since marijuana is classified as a hallucinogen (rightly or wrongly, but I say rightly) it's technically a drug.

I'd also say it's kind of a miracle, since there's tons of plants out there and it's the only one that does what it does, just by chance, and it just happens to exist as a bit of a bonus to all of us on earth.

So is it a drug? Yes. A miracle drug.

[mellowman420]

its a drug, and one hell of a great drug at that.

[mellowman420]

[somebody someone]

dude what the fuck

[Oli]

We get the point, post whore.

[mono repin]

^^ Hahahaha, I'm not even high and I was buggin out at mellow wtf?!?!

[69DarklotuS69]

Its a drug which isnt a bad thing but it is not a narcotic as dumb ass people say.

[Beeblebrox.420]

Fixed that.

[molerat]

I believe weed is a drug because it affects your body and brain and makes you do things you normally wouldnt do however that dosent mean it should be Illegal coffee and cigaretts and alcahol are also a drug and in ym opinion alcahol is more dangerous to use than pot hope that made sens I'm stoned lol.

[oldhippie56]

Nature best cure-all, works wonders .

[andruejaysin]

Pot is a plant which contains a drug-THC

[slipknotpsycho]

lol fucking stupid question, of course its a drug, since when have u determined that drugs HAVE to be man made... alcohol and cigeretes are drugs too, legal ones
for the most part we make cigarettes too, what with the million added chemicals and such.

[lateralus]

drugs can be good or bad, so ya weed is a drug. it DOES put a chemical in you.Well, you're right - it IS a drug. This brings up what has the potential to be a very interesting conversation. Salt is a chemical, no? Sodium... something. What was it.. sodiumm - I don't remember. BUT - I've been doing drugs for a lot longer than I thought. Damn, D.A.R.E. people are hypocrites! EVERYONE DOES DRUGS!!! LIFE IS A LIE!!! :mad:

[Edgar]

It has drugs in it.

[Dick Justice]

We all have drugs in ourselves.

[Mirno Sctlnd]

I dont uderstand how their can be a debate whether or not its a drug.

Drugs = Effect the central nervous system
Fact = Weed does this thus it's a drug.

Of course what should be debated is wether its a fundemetally bad drug. In my opion the answers a big NO!
