wtf vitamins are a drug

[Dutch Masta]

Umm, cannabis is a drug.

What everyone should be trying to prove is that its a GOOD drug. The same way millions of people drink coffee to get the effects of caffeine, we all smoke weed to get the effects of the thc in it. Millions of people do each, each day, all the time, and it poses little to no health risks.. even less with marijuana, as there is no dependance.

but cannabis is a drug

the problem is semantics; what is a "drug". well if it's something that affects your physical being than that's just about everything on earth; if it's something that significantly changes your disposition than perhaps cannabis gets in there with other narcotics, but to group all substances that change you physically into ONE GROUP, now that's just fucking stupid

btw: i would personally call it a "drug" in the "it changes you physically/mentally" way, but here's the thing: these folks are saying "i'm not a DRUG USER" the term here is defining DRUG USER not DRUG. "drug user" carries a certain connotation in society and these folks are saying they don't fit that group

[wonderbear]

drugs are something man made like synthetic heroin or pills

and there's another definition

now, an avocado is a FRUIT, actually it's even a BERRY, botanically speaking; but folks don't mean "avocado" when they say "i'm going to buy some fruit"

all a question of defining your terms


and we all need to realize there are MYRIADS of NATURAL things that will kill you, venom, poisinious mushrooms, all sort of various plants.

[wonderbear]

Cannabis has THC in it which is a drug but he doesnt mean it's a drug made in a lab to make people get addicted. (like minorities)

you've got to be kidding me

a drug is something that changes your brain chemistry
