Marijuana

[theVOID]

Drug: a substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

That's what i would have thought Adrian meant when he said

A "drug" is a substance that affects the human body.

For those who don't know, physiological effect = affects the normal function of living organisms and their parts.

If your food is affecting the 'normal function' of your body: I'd say you've got a serious problem

Or the chance to get wasted from a toasted sandwich - sounds like it would be awesome

Are you sure?? IF a "drug" is something that affects the Human body then all FOODS should be included as "drugs"?

"affect" as in changes your normal bodily function.

Substances such as caffeine are drugs, as well as alcohol. Marijuana is a drug because it has medical benefits, same with paracetamol, aspirin, etc. Drugs simply have an affect on the human body; the name is a very broad and general term.

You have this delusion that "drug" mean an addictive substance, and to be quite honest that is a very immature and uneducated attitude. Stop lecturing me on what you clearly do not understand.

So enlighten us !!

How do you want to me enlightened? Do you want me to explain how Marijuana, Ecstasy, and LSD are less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco? Do you want me to explain how governments are so blinded by their control of drugs that they fire drug experts who tell the truth: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/...utt-sacked

I feel like all I have done so far is correct you meatball.... but here is all I have to say

(only read first post, sorry if someone said this)

Obama gave a directory command to all federal law officials. It stated that any federal drug laws are not to be enforced if it is not against the law of the state that the infraction resides.

He also stated the "[Obama] will not veto a law supporting the medicinal use of marijuana.

There is your high ranking public official, the president

They announced a federal policy change so federal agents won't override state laws regarding medicinal marijuana. They never said anything about recreational possession.

If I'm wrong, feel free to provide a link. I personally was unable to find anything other than the Attorney General announcing the shift in medicinal marijuana enforcement.
