Is weed a drug?

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by J E D I, May 5, 2011.

  1. No, it's a plant.
     
  2. Marijuana is a plant that has active drugs in it.
     
  3. " A substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body"


    Yes.


    Caffeine is a drug as well.
     
  4. drug
    noun 
    1. A substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body

    Yup...
     
  5. Of course it is...

    Why the hell would someone say it isn't?
     
  6. its a herbal medicine
     
  7. This.

    THC is a drug, not marijuana.
     
  8. It alters your mind therefore it is a drug. Not all drugs are bad. Please don't make us stoners look bad by saying it's not a drug.
     
  9. That's nit-picking. We all know what he's talking about.
     
  10. A drug is broadly defined as a substance that when absorbed into the body of a living organism alters body function. I'm pretty sure that weed does that.

    Weed is technically a drug, but 'drug' has such a bad connotation that most advocates don't associate weed with. Just because something is a plant, it doesn't mean that it's not a drug. Most other drugs are extracted from a plant, but they're still drugs.
     
  11. I voted no because of what "drug" means in our society. Technically, by definition, it is a drug. Just like caffeine.
     
  12. The Herb is a drug. It is, however, one of the safest.
     
  13. Yes.
    Thats all that needs to be said, not some example of another harmless drug.

    Or some kid saying NO MAN ITS A PLANT..

    Pot is a DRUG. Its as simple as that. We are drug users, NOT ABUSERS........... some are xD
     
  14. I don't think it can hurt to mention other substances that get labeled as "drugs". Bottom line is the word "drug" has a real negative connotation to it in the general public and believe it or not, a lot of people don't know the true definition of a drug or that (as mentioned before) caffeine is a drug.
     
  15. I voted before I read anything, I said Nope, but I thought you referring to an actual drug.. i mean hell everything is a drug in one way or another, i don't think it should be classified that way.

    Duhh? It's a mind-altering substance meant to be enjoyed responsibility. Same as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and many others.
     
  17. to society's definition...no its not a drug....to the real specification of a drug...yes it is....hell in that definition its also addictive
     
  18. Yes, yes it is. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
