So if cannabis is a “drug” because it’s illegal and alcohol is “alcohol” because it’s legal, why is ibuprofen a “drug” and not “alcohol”? Or maybe, did you misunderstand something, and the condescending tone is not only embarrassing, but completely unwarranted?
This is so dumb, and both of you are very obviously 'Murica brained where you just can’t think of any difference there is oitside the US.
Both Alcohol and Nicotine are drugs, and so are medications, they’re just legal drugs. It’s not “not a drug” and “drug (meaning illegal”, it’s “legal drug” and “illegal drug”.
Another thing to note is that fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine are all legal for medical purposes, but are considered “drugs” in the illicit sense.
Realistically, there was a girl at our town fair in my middle school who offered to do that. I think she just wanted a way to get with a guy though? And secondarily weed. Not sure.
If you’re gonna do a quote, the use quotation marks. It doesn’t matter if it’s old or recent, just saves everyone time and effort by not misunderstanding you.
It goes along with how they categorize cannabis as “drug” while alcohol for some reason gets it’s own special category.
DARE programs referring to “drugs, alcohol, and tobacco,” and middle school me thinking “I’m pretty sure those are all drugs…”
Because one is legal and one isn’t…
If alcohol or tobacco was illegal, they’d be treated like illegal drugs
Laws aren’t always correct.
Do you understand it now?
That’s circular reasoning. “It’s considered a drug because it’s illegal, and it’s illegal because it’s considered a drug.”
It hard to start somewhere. Look back in history and see where it started.

No, not really.
Both alcohol and cannabis are legal.
But they are still treated very differently legally despite both being drugs.

Alcohol isn’t a drug, it’s a drink.
Edit: I guess the niche 90s British comedy references don’t fly too well on the fediverse.

“Marijuana is not a drug. It’s a plant; it just grows that way! Drugs you gotta do shit chemically to it.”
Marijuana is not a drug. I sucked dick for coke. You ever suck dick for some marijuana? Didn’t think so.

“Lean isn’t a drug, it’s a drink”
Drug: a substance other than food intended to affect the structure or function of the body
