Why do people think marijuana is a drug?

It’s totally natural…

Answer #1

If you can get high off of it then it’s considered a drug, whether it’s natural or not.

Answer #2

actual drug s are supposed to be combined with things like chemicals. they’re altered…

Answer #3

No not really. Anything you get high off of is a drug, if people couldn’t get high then it isn’t a drug.

Answer #4

Because it alters the state of mind, makes folks think and act different. I might share that it is definatley not the worst of things, there are much more powerful and destructive ones out there. I haven’t smoked grass in 25 years, but when I did, I never did anything bad or even close to what meth heads or other “hard” substance users seem to do, and I never became addicted. On the other hand, some don’t know how to handle it, so it is in the category.

Answer #5

. I agree with Kayla, . ….. and so does the dictionary:

Drüg (noun)

  1. pharmacology substance given as medicine: a natural or artificial substance that is given to treat, prevent, or diagnose a disease or to lessen pain
  2. drügs illegal substance: an often illegal and sometimes addictive substance that causes changes in behaviour and perception and is taken for the effects
  3. pharmacology medical substance: a substance given to treat or prevent illness that is officially listed in a medical pharmacopoeia

Marijuana (thc, cbd, etc…) is definitely a drug, but it is outstanding from the common negative associations with other phsychoactive chemicals.
