Exactly what I was going to post :thumbsup: Most people classify something as a "drug" if it alters your mind or causes some sort of addiction.

(from Wikipedia)
A drug is any biological substance, synthetic or non-synthetic, that is taken primarily for non-dietary needs. It is usually synthesized outside of an organism, but introduced into an organism to produce its action. That is, when taken into the organisms body, it will produce some effects or alter some bodily functions (such as relieving symptoms, curing diseases or used as preventive medicine or any other purposes).

Short version, a drug is something either created in a lab or is natural that isn't taken as food. It's made outside of your body but can be injested by many ways. When you take drugs it has some sort of effect on you. Drugs have many varied effects, from curing illness to causing euphoria.

I wouldn't personally call Marijuana a drug (I don't call it 'pot' ever unless im talking to someone who I don't want to know I smoke, saying pot makes you seem more innocent :thumbsup. Although it alters your mind and body I feel that you can't simply lump it in as a drug, it's cannabis, it's own catagory. It can be used medicinally to relieve pain, cure glaucoma, quell nausia, increase appitite, and recently some are saying that it can help cure cancer. Then theres it's recreational use. Blah, blah, blah I can go on about that for hours.

Anyway, it's not a drug to me, but by definition, yes it's a drug.

Actually, a few years ago there was a cannabis reported death that occured after somebody was given some of those THC pills as medicine. She probally died from some sort of allergic reaction to the cannabis though because it's been proven that there is no way to die from cannabis unless you smoke about 15 lbs. in 15 miniutes which is physically impossibe and mentally impossible because you would pass the fuck out after your first ounce.

:hippy:
