You're like a guy I know who feels it necessary to prove himself right about every little thing. It's really annoying. I do understand your argument, but it's the fact that it's more of an argument than a discussion that's killing the chill
Personally I can't believe how touchy people have gotten over semantics. Technically weed is not a drug. THC is. However you don't see smokers saying "I'm going to go and inhale some Nicotine" when they go for a cigarette.
"Drug" has negative connotations but so what. We're smoking weed, we've already defied the government, who gives a shit if we call it a drug. THEY need to change, not us.

This sums up my view completely.
[QUOTE=Misael;20265960]So holding somewhat of a discussion is a chill-kill?[/QUOTE]
Weed is weed, no matter what you call it, in much the same way as calling you a chill-kill wont effect the fact that you are a huge arse, as well.
Guess what i'm doing.

Every chemical that have an effect on "anything" in the body is a drug.
There are different types of drugs. some may alter ones physcial state and some alters the chemical releases in the brain producing a psychoactive effect. Some drugs alters certian kinds of neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine.
The drugs that alters the dopamine release are drugs like meth, coke, sugar, alcohol and many more. Constant drug induced dopamine release leads to addiction and therefor these drugs have addictive propeties.
Drugs like LSD, DMT, Shrooms and Cannabis (psychedelics) releases the neurotransmitter serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin leads to a strong altered state of mind (Mind Expansion). Sensory input are felt stronger and you go deeper into the subconsious part of your mind and this allows you to think and about the world from a new perspective. With the mind expansion and the increased sensory input and feelings you will have a good and enlightening time.
The drugs that relase serotonin does not have addictive propeties and often do not cause physical damage to the brain or body.
The drugs that should be legal are the classic psychedelics like the ones i named above. They can cause some mental damage depening from what perspective the user sees the world from and if he is in the riskzone to get mental diseases like schizophrenia. Avoding such diseases can easily be prevented by simply knowing yourself and to research if there is any evidence of mental disease in your family. For the majority of psychedelic users these drugs actually improves life quality due to their good enlightening effects. The argumentation about psychoactive drugs should not be wherever the drug is a natural drug or a synthethic one but instead what we should argue about is if the drug have good positive effects and how those effects can be implemented in society and in peoples lives in a safe and effective manner in order to improve life quality in general.
Marijuana (or THC if you want to be a technical ass about it) is, by scientific standards, a drug. And that is a fact.
However so is caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and many prescribed/over the counter medicines.
It is given the wrong impression when people say "you're doing drugs". You don't say you're doing drugs when you're drinking alcohol, having a cup of coffee, taking aspirin for your headache, or smoking a cigarette, [b]so it should be the same for weed.[/b]
Wisdom.

Neither did I.

Misael, no one cares. Yes, it is a drug, people only say it's "Not" a drug to avoid the negative connotation. We've been over this. Get the fucking point.
no shit op, you god damned private investigator
If weed is a drug then ice cream isn't delicious.
​
here's the important distinction: marijuana is the plant, and THC is the drug
my opinion is that a drug is any chemical that has a direct influence on your brain chemistry
What's the matter? Does it make you sleep better when we say it's a drug?
Let's not dwell in this useless subject concerning if it is a plant or a drug.
The answer is: It's both a plant and a drug. The plant is the drug; the drug is the plant. Without the plant there would be no drug and without the drug the plant would not simply be our beloved gift from nature.
Everybody precives this concept in a different way depending on what you have been learned and what you believe in. No one truly shares the same kind of thought patterns and therefor reality is precived from different perspectives.

cocaine is a drug and it comes from coco plants or what ever they are called :downs:
All drugs and chemicals are from nature. Either you consume the plant as a whole to get high, extract the chemicals or manipulate the chemicals to create synthethic drugs.
All drugs are from from nature and no drug is more drugish than the other. Only the molecule itself decides what effect it got on the human body and brain.
Don't put your focus on wherever it is a plant or a drug. Because everybody got different opinions and you will never agree with eachother (thats how our ego works without you even knowing it). Focus on how we can make some of these useful and good chemicals legal. We must study the effects and see how we can make use of the chemicals to make life better for all of us.

We haven't been over this. We just went over it.

You're comparing a fact to an opinion.[/QUOTE]
And yet you still don't get it. That's the problem. Don't act like you're special or understand anything anyone else doesn't.
​
[QUOTE=Misael;20422741]I suggest you re-read the OP and from there on. You're making no sense. How am I acting like I'm special? lol.[/QUOTE]
Because you've said some several times now how weed is a drug, and we've all acknowledged that, we all knew that. You weren't, and aren't educating anyone of anything. I'm fairly sure from reading this thread, you've missed the point of people saying "It's not a drug, it's a plant".

I don't think you can actually grow down. Though, saying "Grow" makes it sound like you want him to grow weed.
