I'm not a drug user, I'm a cannabis user

[wonderbear]

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
