A drug is a substance that alters normal bodily functions. So caffeine is a drug, but a banana is not. Buzzes from things like sex or spicy food come from chemicals already in the body.[/QUOTE]
Um many drugs simply just unleash massive amounts of the neurotransmitter serotonin which is produced in your body.

Even so, sex isn't a drug. It's not a substance that altars your behavior. It's just something people do.
[QUOTE=drive_the_hive;16281056]Um many drugs simply just unleash massive amounts of the neurotransmitter serotonin which is produced in your body.[/QUOTE]
But things like sex spicy foods trigger those chemicals direct through stimulation/pain. Drugs do those things chemically, not stimulus response.

Yes, but it still triggers neurotransmitters which will alter your behaviour/mindset. Evolutionary thing. If we didn't enjoy sex, we'd probably all be dead /extinct. We don't like women because we [I]simply do[/I] we like them because once our brains (eyes) see them, they unleash neurotransmitters which alter our behaviour and the result is: a normal, neutral person suddenly wants SEX.

But food/sex aren't drugs, as they're not directly caused by chemicals. Neither are the neurotransmitters for that matter, was they're part of normal bodily function and wouldn't do anything if you tried to consume them.

Wait.
Marijuana is a green, brown, or gray mixture of dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the hemp plant. Marijuana has a chemical in it called tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC. All forms of marijuana are mind-altering (psychoactive). In other words, they change how the brain works. A lot of other chemicals are found in marijuana, too — about 400 of them, some of which are carcinogenic. Marijuana is addictive with more teens in treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined.
Using marijuana can also lead to disturbed perceptions and thoughts, and marijuana use can worsen psychotic symptoms in people who have schizophrenia.
Additionally, there are higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thinking among people who use marijuana when compared to people who don't use. Teens who started using marijuana before age 15 are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression in early adulthood. A new study shows that smoking marijuana is associated with a 40% increase risk of psychosis, and the risk is greater among regular and frequent users.
Ahahahah fuckin hilarious how all of a sudden this got turned into another drug debate

Marijuana isn't physically addictive. Coffee has over 1,000 chemicals in it, does that make it evil?
You are stupid.

That first part is a knee slapper. The reason there are so many teens in rehab is because they're given the choice to either go to jail, or go to rehab. It is not addictive. I've smoke a bunch of weed. Some days I'll do it up to three times, other days just once, but I don't do it every day. There are spans of time where a month or more will go by before I smoke again. And yes, I have weed in my possession during that time. I simply don't feel like it.
The second part can be true. I know a friend who was fucked up and then he started smoking weed three times a day and it messed him up even more because of the way he would think while alone and high. He turned to an a much more dangerous drug to escape reality: christianity.

That's Why I liked it when GD was called "General Cocksplat"
Now I'm goint to contribute to the horrible derailed subject of weedz
From what Ive seen weed effects everyone differently. Some of them can smoke a few a night and be perfectly fine while one other girl actually throws up when she smokes but yet she still smokes it (*cough* what a loser) Then Ive had several friends that actually moved on to more hardcore drugs like Shrooms luckily they all got off them. I would never actually try weed since I want a career as an ATC and for that you can't have a history of drugs for 10 years so I don't bother to even take a risk
