The obvious point everyone here is trying to make when they say "weed is not a drug" is that is should not be labeled as a drug in the same way that harder drugs are which is the status quo. Nobody walks around and calls tobacco a drug which really is the closest thing out there to weed. Obviously you wouldn't classify caffeine the same way you would classify crack even though under your handy little checklist they would both be considered addictive.

Very well, then lets play it your way.

Why? Who should weed be exempt, or even reclassified as a food additive (the only currently existing alternative btw, like nicotine and caffeine). You just agreed with the addictive statement by another poster on weed, remember. That i do not agree with myself btw, ONLY the psychological dependence, not physical has been proven.

The argument on people not calling tobacco a drug is also flawed, because I have yet to meet one person who did not in some way acknowledge tobacco and nicotine were a drug.

You also seem to misrepresent the argument at hand, so I ask again why exactly did this touch a cord in you?

Professionally we do not treat nicotine as we do crack, nor caffeine. Are they all addictive? Yes.
But that argument is inherently flawed sir presidente. Is a heart attack as fatal as a gun shot wound? Yes, it can be, circumstances depending im sure. Do you treat them differently? Yes. Yet they both remain medical conditions.

Not sure in the US but isnt there a category for natural/health products?

I mean unless you're making brownies or something... lol Pot really isnt a food additive!

IMHO, that would fit the category much better. They already have medicinal marijuana anyway.


EDIT: a reason why to legalize it? The huge legal cost for folks who get caught with a few doobies. I dont smoke, btw i did long ago. How about kids who have a good future ahead of themselves but happen to be caught smoking? They arent really addicted yet and it screws up their life a fair ammount.

Dont worry, the US probably will never legalize it, Your big Pharma will make sure of that!

Can you please retype this in a fashion that makes any sense so I can respond.

Well maybe you haven't, but to deny there aren't people out there who will look down on you for smoking weed while they take down a pack of cigarettes a day is ignorant.

You also seem to misrepresent the argument at hand, so I ask again why exactly did this touch a cord in you?

Haha.. yes.. Im misrepresenting it..

Professionally we do not treat nicotine as we do crack, nor caffeine. Are they all addictive? Yes.

I wasn't saying we do, you are the person who is only bringing in addiction into the argument when there are many other factors that go into drug classification.


Seriously dude, start making sense.
