What's a 'drug'?

Define drug, : For me it's something used to release stress and zone out from modern daily life. So wouldn't watching pro sports be considered releasing or "zoneing out" from reality? It's pleasureable to some, It puts exictment into peoples lifes being a fan of a team. Some people do thing the games are life and death yet they dont do drugs or anything and the highlight of the day is watching monday night football. They claim not to do drugs or "Release themselfs".

Isn't sports and gambling some sort of 'numbing' agent from the reality and the world? As a lover of the plant would do to enjoy themselves over a blunt or a bong rip.

I dunno what I wrote but im really fucked up, does this make sense????

in psychology i actually studied about this and it seems when people are in love, just seeing ur loved one is like a drug , and can actaully release endorphins to your brain to give u a natural high....

lol...I shouldn't post when i'm shit faced....

Why does the reality suck so mush?

anything and eveything can be a drug

I think the official defintion is active substances you put into your body other than nourishment, or something along those lines. However society tends to term it in a negative way. "STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS KIDS!!" tends to lump weed in with crack or heroin, and all of us potheads know that that's total bullshit.

Timothy Leary classifies watching a movie or tv for that matter to act similarily as barbiturates do on a person. TV may become a person's drug or escape route in order to forget momentarily anything deleterious in his life. The term drug is tabooed in today's society as much as ever, whats ironic is that drugs control our lives.

Whenever people call weed a drug or narcotic I yell at them "IT'S NOT A DRUG, IT'S A PLANT FOR FUCKS SAKES"

THC is a drug ;)

Yeah, what is in control of our sleep cycle? Dopamine, this is also a drug.
Some people are so naive to think that drugs only have to do with harmful substances. Drugs are harmless what makes them harmful are people.
Lemme just add: I LOVE ALL KINDS OF DRUGS! :D

thats how it is for me

A drug is a substance that effects your brain in some way. One could argue that watching sports is a drug, because the chemicals released in the brain that cause the blissful unawareness of watching TV are drugs. Cannabinoids are drugs. Heroin is a drug. Oxytocin is a neurochemical that can be defined as a drug.
