I'm not a drug user, I'm a cannabis user

if cannabis isn't a drug it shouldn't do anything to you if you smoke it. It may be a plant but it's also a drug.

lots of drugs wont get you high, but they'll still affect you. You'll get all the nicotine and other chemicals that wont make you trip, that doesn't mean it's not a drug.

A drug nor a plant is defined as causing or not causing harm.
Get over the social connotation that drug user = negative. There is a tiny little nugget of perception that was fed to us all at a young age telling us that all drugs = bad. Train yourself to think otherwise.
drug:

Noun
1. a. A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication. b. 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.
Cannabis is not a drug. It's chemical compounds ARE.
We don't smoke cannabis because it's a PLANT, we smoke it to get high off of some of it's chemical compounds.
THC is a drug. CANNABIS is a plant.
THERE WE GO. A rational explanation using a definition rather than a Societal influence of blind negativity.

Oh wait yes I am.

I smoke weed. Why do I smoke weed? A number of reasons. For one, I like to get high. I do not smoke it for pain, I smoke it for relaxation, mood enhancement, for nerves, and the like. Sometimes when I smoke, I get really creative. Sometimes, I can get a little depressed. I smoke weed because it is not the same high everytime. Do I classify marijuana as a drug? Yes I do. Want to know why?
drug (dr-uh-g) n. 1.
a. A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication.
b. 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.
Like Inferius said, THC is the drug portion of the plant. So when you smoke cannabis, you are taking in THC. THC is a chemical that reacts in our bodies in a way that fits the definition of drug.
Now believe it or not, pot can lead to a psychological dependence in some people. It causes changes in your behavior. I believe that cannabis fits that definition. Do I think that weed is a bad drug? No I do not. I believe there can be more good from cannabis than bad, if used responsibly. I do not think that marijuana is the cure-all-miracle-drug that some of you do. Like other drugs, weed does have it's negative effects. I agree that if you eat it or use a vaporizer that alot of those negativities are removed.

All that aside, you can consider yourself a "cannabis" user. The public will still deem you a drug user. Get used to it. It is part of the fight.

the only negative effect you get from weed is just short term memory loss, other than that really nothing, cause although smoking anything is bad for your health, all you have to do is eat or drink marujuana and you dont have the bad smoking effects

i heard weed kills brain cells is that true?
