DRUG or PLANT?

[Inferius]

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.

Inferius Reviewed by Inferius on 05-17-2007. 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: Rating: 5

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

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.

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.

[mugen]

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....

[poiuyt]

both plant and drug.

[EbelEyes]

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

Its both.

Its a plant that contains a drug.
