What's a drug?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, July 05 2012 @ 11:06 AM EDT
Now we can get into a discussion of what a drug is.

Alcohol is a drug.
So's tobacco.

They're both at least as addictive as some of the commonly illegal ones.


Do you smoke? Drink?

Number 1 drug in terms of personal and societal damage -
alcohol. Currently legal for anyone over the drinking age
(21 in the US).

Don't forget the pharmaceuticals

After all... something that's illegal on the street is not necessarily illegal when used by pharmaceuticals.

Do pharmaceuticals still produce drugs with morphine?
