Weed is not also a drug or a plant, but a medicine used to cure your thoughts and clear your mind.

[QUOTE=Misael;20199999]That's why there are more than one definition to the word, so it can fit all... I guess.
And it's not different... but lets put it with other plants that are also drugs, Cannabis, Coca, Coffee, Tobacco, Salvia, Intoxica Mint... among others, none of those are drugs? Because they come from the ground?[/QUOTE]
Not what I was getting at, but I wouldn't expect you to understand my logic.
Turn out we're not all born equal.

Yeah, as much fun as it's been pushing your buttons, I'm getting bored of this as well.

How about not only a drug or a plant but a medicine used to cure your thoughts and clear your mind.[/QUOTE]
Doh'!!!!!!!
THC is a drug, Marijuana is a plant that contains the chemical THC.
It's a plant that contains a drug.
Some drugs need to have their active chemical extracted and processed to be drugs, while some don't, Cannabis happens to be the latter.

I disagree on the basis that simply consuming marijuana does not get you high. It needs to either be smoked or the active chemicals need to be extracted in order for it to work.

Yeah, because a typo, a simple one-letter mistake, is the same as a poorly phrased description.

[url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict/drug]What defines a drug[/url]
Weed is both a plant and a drug.
The phrase "weed is a plant not a drug" is false because weed is a drug.
Anything can be a drug, but everything is not a drug. There are certain things defined as drugs and certain things that are not. Food is a nutrient not a drug because its effects on the body are mostly beneficial, natural, and not significant. Although I think common sense would have told you this.
/discussion
Of course it's a drug.
Unfortunately, the majority of people who call it a drug do so using the common connotation of drug, and that's bothersome.

Who cares mon, enlighten them.
[QUOTE=Misael;20197304]Yeah, I understand it's both but I hate the phrase "It's a plant not a drug"[/QUOTE]
I've never ever heard anyone say that.

"Drug" is just such an ambiguous term, carrying heavy connotations and a very negative social stigma.
Thanks for a being a good sport, though. I was bored :geno:

The word "drug" has been abused so much by propaganda and shit that PE teachers make up.
"DRUGS ARE BAD" is what most people will tell you, which in fact, most drugs have a purpose to do something.
[QUOTE=Anubis678;20198086]
Or, rather, marijuana is a drug in the same way that tobacco is a drug.[/QUOTE]
this is the answer to the thread
its a plant the has spectacular side effects when you smoke it
anyways what makes something a "drug?"
Cannabis is a drug? Yeah right. That statement is as false as "the sky is blue."

Anything that have noticeable effect on CNS or PNS. (Central Nervous system, Peripheral nervous system)

I'm not sure that all drugs affect the nervous system significantly. Drugs that affect your GABA receptors, for example, are unlikely to make a change to your vital signs.

Yeah that is true.
Sup guys oranges are drugs because they give you vitamin C and you eat them.
Seriously, you could call anything edible a drug.

No, not really. I can call potato a drug but it will make me an idiot.
Shut the fuck up, already.
nobody really gives a flying fuck what it is in the end, it's all about what it does.
