why do people say weed is a drug?

[notrightquite]

Sadly, no, the mental-spiritual aspect isn't important at all when labeling a substance. It's just not quantifiable.

I say weed is not a drug, it is a herb. It's a no no because people in power are afraid of people who think for themselves on deeper levels.

Herbs are just drugs that the FDA hasn't had time to classify yet.

A drug is any nonfood which changes the way your mind and body work, marijuana is a drug made of a complex of cannaboid derived active chemicals. THC isnt the only active ingredient either, theres tons of different cannaboids in marijuana which make it a very complex and difficult drug to classify. but no matter what marijuana is still a drug.

I think its illegal because too many people are ill-educated by our lying governments who refuse to tell the general public the truth about the many good points to cannabis. The good outwieghs the bad by more than 60% but not many people know this, simply because they are only told about the bad things... Bad things only really being the same as Tobacco and Alcohol. Laws are stupid, and this one is there to be broke.

It's most probably still illegal because there is no way of knowing what someones tollerance is to MJ, what could get one person ripped could just give another a slight buzz, plus MJ is slightly hallucinogenic i personally have never hallucinated but i've heard of people who have

at best i might see something out of the corner of my eye after i've been up for over 24 hrs. non stop smoking (long story, but sometimes i just can't go to sleep, so i don't feel like complete shit durring this i stay as fucked up as possible... becasue wanting/needing to be able to go to sleep and can't is true misery)

lol, most of you are talking about why/how pot is a drug, but my question was why is it an ILLEGAL drug?
