marijuana, do you consider it a drug or not??? select one and post why :O
No, its a plant. A drug is something that has been made/processed by man. Magic moshrooms are not drugs, cannabis is not a drug.
However, cocaine IS a plant, well, its FROM a plant, and it doesnt come about naturally.
This is what i mean.
Cannabis aint a drug, simple as :thumbsup:
thats what i say but no1 listens :(
Marijuana is a plant not a drug, Δ9-THC is
Tea is not a drug, caffiene is
etc
Not a drug itself...but contains a drug (mind/body altering substance - THC)...fair enough Lippy? My final post on the subject. I don't want to get this man started..haha lol.
Drug or not...everybodys on drugs lol.
lol :P
It's ok, i wont kill anyone for saying it is.... BUT dont say it is. I'll get the hump... And then who knows?
maybe ull hump people...who knows? Lol nah lip ur mad cool :PQuote:

Weed is a "drug" but only in terms we think in. I consider it only a plant in my head. Thats why I find it so hard that the government wont let us grow/smoke something that grows from the ground naturally.

Rawr :(
it is a drug, but so is everything else. a drug is any thing that changes how your mind or body works. but so is food, water, and air. if you didnt have any of these things, the you would die, thus changing the way your body works. i used this to shut up the DARE cop in 5th grade and it worked very well.
I understand that cannabis isn't a drug, but when i smoke cannabis i consider myself to be smoking drugs, not just smoking plants. And high on drugs, not high on plants. So i put yes, it's a drug.
Well in a way it is and then it isnt. Anything that is used for medicinal benefits and has to be ingested I consider as a drug, and THC is a chemical after all and so is CBD and they both alter our mind and outlook on things. So basically yeah I would call it a drug but I wouldnt consider it in the same class as cocaine or anything like that. Marijuana is in a circle all on it's on, well maybe shrooms is in there some where :p.
it is. its a miracle drug, thats all.
Lol amen to that :).Quote:

At least that's how I'd define it.
So yes... THC is a drug, and Cannabis is the plant it comes from. "Marijuana" is the government's derogatory label for this plant (formerly known commonly as "hemp").
And yes, THC is also a psychoactive drug.
But is it the safest and most enjoyable drug known to man? (YES!)
THC is the active psychological ingredient in Cannabis, ultimately making Cannabis a drug. Orangeman seems to actually know the meaning of "drug"
Anything that changes the state of your well being whether it be physical or mental (Cannabis being both) is considered a "drug" the meaning of the word is very wide..but welcome to the art of linguistics.
You can't argue it's medicinal benefits only to turn around and deny what it actually is.Quote:

i consider it the same shit no matter what its called. i guess none of you are familiar with the phrase "a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet". forget about labels and smoke it.
I guess it is a drug then lmao i dunno anymore :(
no, its a plant man makes drugs, mother nature makes plants
its a god given gift...would god be going around giving us drugs? no he gave us sweet mary jane because it is fucking fantastic.
Nah.
weed is a plant that grows from the ground.
how could it be a drug?
Drugs are for junkies, weed is from the earth god put it for me and you so take advantage man take advantage-Friday
To me, a drug is anything used to change the way the body normaly operates. This is a very broad definition, and therefore includes weed. It however also includes things like cafeine and many other common things that people don't normaly think of as drugs.
Apparently potheads have become junkies. Read the "how low would you go" thread.Quote:

Accept the fact that THC is a drug, in marijauna, and im sure none of you are taking the THC out of it then smoking the plant on its own.
But who said that drug's are always negative. Most people just have the perception that any "drug" is bad, because of the negative impact some drugs (cocaine/meth/crack) have caused addiction and ruined lives. Thats whats different, Marijauna is fine in that way..
lol how can it be powerful?Quote:

Here is a definition of the term drug
"A drug is any substance that can be used to modify a chemical process or processes in the body, for example to treat an illness, relieve a symptom, enhance a performance or ability, or to alter states of mind. The word "drug" is etymologically derived from the Dutch/Low German word "droog", which means "dry", since in the past, most drugs were dried plant parts."
Saying it isnt a drug is just ignorant and stupid.
My 2 cents :thumbsup:
it seemed very powerfull when i ate it....considering i couldnt do any normal actions.... :confused:Quote:
