Is Cannabis a drug?

[*hydro*]

Wikipedia thinks it is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_%28drug%29



I thought it was a plant yielding heavenly herbzzz

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I think wikipedia is full of shit.

I challenge wikipedia to a showdown at recess.



Under the monkey bars!

wikipedia isn't reliable. oohh- Yes, it's a medicinal drug.

 

[medmaker420]

its a drug sure why not

if it is the WORD that scares people then they have bigger things to deal with.

I am a drug to the ladies, they tend to get addicted all the time.

 

[dongle69]

If it isn't a drug, what have I been getting high from?
Maybe it is psychosomatic haha.

 

[TrichyTrichy]

Yes!! it is a great one too.

 

[FRANKENBLUNT420]

wikipedia can kiss my ass and so can bloomberg!!!! had no clue they were banning flavored rolling papers!!

man this shit really sucks donkey cock!!!

and what morons run this wikipedia crap anyway?! they can kiss my ass as well! what DO they know?!?!

EDIT: IMO cannabis is of course a plant thats for sure but i would say that it has medicinal properties rather than saying its any/a specific drug. for me, drugs mean the different mixing/extracting/processing of chemicals in order to produce medicinal like qualities reason being that drugs dont cure they just assist or alleviate and honestly do more harm than good but that's on a "in the long run" basis.

maybe im "over respecting" the plant, but i really have a hard time considering cannabis a drug in terms of what drugs are termed/deemed as in these days and times

why cant it be both?

 

[SuperConductor]

It is. No wait, going by the everything-on-wikipedia-is-lies rule then it's neither a plant nor a drug and it doesn't get me high. I'm skeptical as to wether it exists at all tbh.

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

imo, this poll is in error from the start, it assumes that a plant cannot be a drug, so it asks whether it is a drug or a plant assuming that it is has to be either of the two, and this is wrong, because a plant can be both a plant (duh!) and a drug/medicine at the same time.

some plants are drugs/medicines/nutrients, like the unprocessed coca leaf, or Mate.

so this poll is pointless basically.

maybe the OP meant by 'drug' the word 'synthetic' and/or 'artificial' instead?

 

[MarquisBlack]

Absolutely a drug. A psychoactive plant, sure, but Cannabis is the way it is because of human intervention. So to use the naturally occurring argument is a tad faulty.

 

[Hal]

this is a stupid question.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

So does that mean wikipedia isn't showing up at recess?

I'm ready and waiting... and I packed a lunch.

 

[JamieShoes]

I personally describe a drug as any substance, man made or natural, that I might ingest with the "intention" of changing my physiological or mental state...



so ermm "yes" then

 

[cashmunny]

What else could it possibly be besides a drug? A magic spell?

 

[JamieShoes]

my Patronus is a ganja plant

I think that your poll is missing an option. It is clearly both.
