False distinction. If you consume it its a drug. I don't make up the definitions, argue it with Webster and the other dictionary folks.

..."false distinction"?...what does that even mean in reference to calling something that grow out of the ground 'a plant'?...you say it's a drug; i say it's a plant...that's a 'disagreement'...nothing false at all about what i posted...

We're discussing the use of cannabis. We're therefore talking about it as a drug, or medicinal substance if you prefer, not its taxonomic placement or ecological attributes.



Anyway I'm not interested in minimizing its useful properties, because they are real. I just like to see recognition that like all drugs it has some drawbacks and adverse effects too. Its not only "fantastic amazing wonderful" etc. A more balanced perspective is all I was advocating.

Aspirin is an NSAID, a NonSteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug



But its not addictive.

Of course. Plants are the original drug/medicine.
