Cannabis is a plant and a flower. It grows naturally, therefore its classification can not be lumped in the "drug" category. I, for one, focus more, my attention span improves and I'm a lot wittier. Couple that with the Adderall XR I take for ADHD and I don't get the munchies. It has relieved the migraine headaches I often get and it helps with the pain of the herniated discs in my back. It's a total win-win.
All seriousness aside though, yes, I do feel a lot better after I have used cannabis. I'm looking forward to it being legalized here in PA.
The definition of "drug" has nothing to do with a substance's qualities beyond its physiological effects when ingested. The fact that marijuana is a plant merely makes it a natural drug, as opposed to a synthetic one.
