Drugs

[SuN]

So, going by the average interpretation of a drug and the way govy's utilize teh definitions; I do find it lulzy that the tobacco and various concoctions of sugar and molasses used with hooka/nargilleh/argilleh/sheesha tobacco has totally slipped regulation nazi's.
Don't get me wrong, this is a grand thing and should not be changed; but I get fucking wasted on these pipes, with different tobacco's having varying effects.
An arab I know told me they are the best thing to give menstruating women, makes them happy he said Happy b/c they are off thar faces; not to mention the awesome use for hashishi consumption.

So ignoring that tobacco is a drug in itself, anyone think the sweet flavorsome argilleh tobacco could be sub-classed as a drug?

Taken from crapopedia:

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.

In pharmacology, a drug is "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being." Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.

There's a difference between things that meet the definition of "drug" and things that meet the definition of "scheduled drug."

Yes, I am referring to the broad definition; being a substance that produces an altered state.
Its not liek sugar or molasses can be regulated in its use.

Interesting how differing substances are demonized while others are upheld, and users excused or criminalized depending on popularity, social class, medicinal value etc

Well, yeah.
