Drug- a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being. This is the official definition of "Drug". The "chemical" portion of the definition alone suggests that marajuana is not a drug. Why dont you compare it to this definition and see which one it is closer to.any member of the kingdom Plantae, comprising multicellular organisms that typically produce their own food from inorganic matter by the process of photosynthesis and that have more or less rigid cell walls containing cellulose, including vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, and hornworts: some classification schemes may include fungi, algae, bacteria, blue-green algae, and certain single-celled eukaryotes that have plantlike qualities, as rigid cell walls or photosynthesis. An herb or other small vegetable growth, in contrast with a tree or a shrub. This is the definition of the word "Plant". Last one is Marijuana- the dried leaves and female flowers of the hemp plant.That all being said, Marijuana SHOULD NOT be considered a drug. But, being recognized as a drug by the official pharmacopoeia, I do consider it a drug.I coach D1 college basketball as some of you may know. I also keep apporox an oz. of weed in my appartment at all times. I have this much for 2 reasons. 1. Its cheaper if you buy it in bulk2. I simply hate running out. All of us who indulge in the sweet smoke know how it feels when you are down to your last bit and have to ration it until we find more. I dont have to experience that. Ever.This must sound horrible to those of you opposed to weed. However, I never smoke during the day (unless its a day off), I never smoke when I know I am going to come in contact with any of my players, I only smoke at night approx 2 hours before going to bed. Right before I hop on the 360 or watch a movie. I am with a lot of opposers to weed when they are talking about someone who is basically high all the time. I know some of these people and they are all stuck in dead end jobs because they can do them while high. But this is a small percentage of weed smokers. The majority of people who smoke weed are those like myself. I was dumb with it in high school. Even though it did not effect my grades (3.76 and 30 on my ACT's), it did effect my drive. I played football, basketball and golf in high school and even had a few DII football scholarships. It is my belief that (barring my injury) that I may have been able to go DI and been very successful. However, all I was thinkin about at practice was that I couldnt wait to go home and smoke. I actually have a lot more to say on the subject but I would like to hear more of what you all have to say.

I hope you don't have any pics up here, Becar. It sound like it's some snitches in here that would LOVE to ruin your career.

Completely different types of 'highs.' Actually, don't even consider sugar effect as a high. It's not, more like an energy boost if you have enough of it. Also, you don't smoke it or inhale it. Sugar doesn't. It's just completely different.

Cocaine gives you a similar rush to a large intake of sugar and you dont smoke it. So cocaine isnt a drug either by that standard.

I have never consumed cocaine, but my uncle sure as hell did and now has to get surgery on his brain YEARLY. He got a tumor the size of a baseball at one point. Cocaine fucks you up big time, crack does even more. Which I'm sure you know. That's why it's a drug. It's not a drug because of the effect you get at the moment. It's a schedule I drug because of the after-effects.

Lol yeah really...the way you just put it, that would make weed NOT a drug.

Marijuana kills brain cells just like alcohol would if not more. It fucks you up, not to the extend that cocaine or crack would but it still does. Some people can handle it at small intervals, but many people get their life depended on it.

Some people love marijuana but it is not a physical addiction such as that of mine to newports(if I go 3-4 days without a cig I get badass withdrawal as many people who have smoked for a while do) on the other hand I havent smoked weed in 2 weeks and while when I see people smoking I want to hit it because its fun, it isnt physically forcing me to. I compare it to when you see someone playing Madden, you want to play because its fun but you'll live if you dont. Some people have no reason to quit marijuana and more power to them.

This causes oxygen depletion and that kills brain cells. I am not arguing that it should be illegal...I think it should be legalized. But it is still a drug. Just as much of a drug as cigarettes or alcohol. Both of those can be abused and mess you up. The thing with Marijuana is if abused you become dependent on it over everything else. You might not get withdrawals like you do with newports, but you do become dependant on it. But that what I was talking about with handling it in small intervals.

</div>I have a great idea, I can debate that celery isn't a vegetable, you can, and I will just ignore the fact that celery is a vegetable.

 

[Mobruler]

Celery isn't as nutritious as other vegetables. Plus it's long like a banana which is a fruit. You can say all you want but in the mean streets of Baltimore, celery isn't a vegetable.

[gentile]

Technically, a banana can be considered an herb. They don't grow from trees, but stalks. And the seeds are sterile.
