DRUG or PLANT?

Does anyone else get kinda... uncomfortable about weed being called a drug?

When I think 'drug' I think powders.. pills.. needles.. hard substances.. also prescriptions and things like that..

Cannabis I have always thought of as a plant.. because.. well.. it fucking is. What other 'drugs' grow in the soil? Holding cannabis in my hand, I always see it as a plant, and a beautiful one at that.

Anyone else get what I mean? :smokin:

yes sir I do and I agree

Both. A plant that contains a drug.

well, THC is an organic chemical (or "drug") while most of prescription meds would be inorganic, synthesized chemicals;

the plant is a plant; the specific psychoactive molecule/s are drugs, chemicals, molecules, whatever you want to call it

I dont even like to call it weed anymore b/c too many cluster fucks give it a bad name, i like to think of marijuana as a type of plant that blooms flowers (bud), i like to think of the bud as a flower cuz it basically is right? yea i dont think of it as a drug anyway, its more like a plant but when i think of mushrooms for some reason i think of cow shit and silicon (sp?) but w/e
marijuna is marijana man

Its a plant that gives me a better high than any DRUG

its a plant which contains a drug.

We smoke flowers....

For argument's sake:

ITS A PLANT

:D

doesn't really bother me.... drug is just a word, it's the context that makes the diffrence... even i call it a drug.. it is a drug... so is tobacco, alcohol, even caffiene....

This is just people tripping over their subconscious biases and word connotations .

Think for yourself, and realize, most absolutely, that Drugs, Are, Not, Evil.
Abuse is evil.
Some chemicals are too powerful for an ordinary man to control,
and those chemicals are considered Hard Drugs.
DRUGS. WE ARE ALL DOING DRUGS.
Say the word, it's wierd isn't it? Dee Rugs. Druck Guhs.
Fuck everyone else's opinion, becuase those of us who educate ourselves on our hobby KNOW, not think, KNOW that certain DEE RUGS are not bad, nor harmful when used with respect to yourself.

GET OVER IT
IT's A WORD,
no matter HOW many times you try to twist and wiggle it into a more comfortable position in your mind, it's still going to be the exact same thing as any other Drug: Psychoactive.

I don't care if it "comes" from a different source,
if marijuana was completely man-made, we would STILL be praising it for the gift it is. In fact, if you think about it, if Man had only created psychoactives that were relatively harmless, and nature produced opiates stimulants deleriants, then guess what? The bias would be AGAINST NATURE, and we would all be going Oh my that horrible heroin it's made by nature it's imperfect and sooo bad for you, marijuana is created by man and man creates such healthy things, goooo science.

<end>

Uhh you are over analyzing this dude....besides man couldn't make anything as perfect as weed....

I'm just sick of the mindless pettyness that comes from identity fear social status ignorance etc

:thumbsup:

Technically it's both. "Drug" doesn't always have to be a bad thing though

So I don't mind people calling weed a drug, as I do use it for recreational and mental purposes. Just don't call it a hard street drug and we're cool :).

like i said, the context it's used in.

Society labels a drug as some terrible substance if its not prescribed. Whenever people hear Drugs they go omfg!!!! and yeh. To them smoking marijuana is the same as od'ing on morphine...witch isnt fun lol

i think that its a plant because it is....if you think its a drug you have to convince me its not a plant first.

just becuase it's a plant doesn't mean it's not a drug...

damn, can you not read the definition of drug? in this case, a drug is something that alters your mind in some way... which weed plainly does....

both plant and drug.

Saying that your not doing drugs when you smoke Cannabis just makes you look stupid.

Its both.

Its a plant that contains a drug.

plant

I could care less,,,coffee is a drug in my mind,,, the most widely used drug of all is alcohol and it is not called a drug,,,so whats in a metaphor???

A plant of love
A gift to man
to use as he wishes
cure all

Hey skink just hit you up with some rep. LOL. Take it easy.:jointsmile:

I could tolerate it being called a drug to an extent, but it really isn't a "drug" in the sense that most people think. Drugs are associated with violence and disease.

I hate the word pot and marijuana though. I just can't fucking stand it! Call it weed or chronic...just not pot or marijuana. Cannabis isn't bad either.

drug and a plant

it is the same shit no matter what you call it.
