(Synthetic Marijuana) K2/Spice, Fake weed, real drug

[HK]

I didn't think the word 'drug' was a definition of where the product comes from, so much as it refers to how it affects us? Taken from Wikipedia:

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.

i believe "medicinal use" of marijuana is stupid. Its a drug, you smoke it, get high and have fun. Maybe if you ingest marijuana it has medicinal properties, but anything you smoke is just not good for you.

Stupid? Really? Cancer patients a lot of times can't hold anything down. So, with your theory, ingesting it, doesn't work. There are Marinol prescription pills, (outrageously priced) that might work for some, but, if you vomit everything that you swallow, what's the point?

Alcohol is a drug... sure why not i guess... i am going to be at the bar with the rest of my platoon doing drugs tonight then. LOL

As mentioned, because alcohol is considered "socially acceptable", many don't view it (alcohol) as a drug. Honestly, I would of thought you would of realized that due to your MOS.

There are numerous natural drugs in nature. Problem usually arises when people try to make money on them and the government isn't involved.

I understand, by definition it is. To me though, things like marijuana and alchohol are things humans have been using since the begining of time. Therefore i dont personally view them as 'drugs' because when we think of drugs we think of hard drugs. its not fair to lump alcohol and marijuana in those catagories. Thats just my view. At the end of the day its about moderation though.

Also, my view on Marijuana, which probly wont match any of yall's view because it seems everyones view here is usually opposed to mine... Marijuana isnt a drug, its a fucking plant. I did the research. It grows on its own, even when we dont plant it there. Like all veggies and fruits today, farmers will use different fertilizers and chemicals for a bigger yield so they make more money.. but at the end of the day... its a plant. Pick it, cure it, bag it, smoke it. End of story.

im just curious,...when do you think "Time" actually started?..when was alcohol first fermented/created?...and how long have humans been around?

from wikipedia:

A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.[SUP][3][/SUP] There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.[SUP][4][/SUP]
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."[SUP][4][/SUP] Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.[SUP][5][/SUP]
Recreational drugs are chemical substances that affect the central nervous system, such as opioids or hallucinogens.[SUP][5][/SUP] They may be used for perceived beneficial effects on perception, consciousness, personality, and behavior.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] Some drugs can cause addiction and/or habituation.[SUP][6][/SUP]
Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous biochemicals by being introduced from outside the organism.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] For example, insulin is a hormone that is synthesized in the body; it is called a hormone when it is synthesized by the pancreas inside the body, but if it is introduced into the body from outside, it is called a drug.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] Many natural substances, such as beers, wines, and psychoactive mushrooms, blur the line between food and recreational drugs, as when ingested they affect the functioning of both mind and body and some substances normally considered drugs such as DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) are actually produced by the human body in trace amounts.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

People however have shown that they tend to have some issues with moderation.

I know you'll ONLY drink two beers a night

Always found it somewhat amusing when people who drink alcohol make that statement. Alcohol IS a drug. However, because it's (alcohol) use is accepted in society, most people don't view it as such.

Thanks for saying that. I was going to lol. Drugs may have different levels of harm (of which Alcohol is quite harmful) but the thing that they all have in common is that people form a dependence on them.

from wikipedia:

Since the begining of human recorded time. many civilizations had been fermenting fruit an whatnot. You could get crazy technical with it, but human beings have been using alcohol since before recorded history.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Haha i when I am the DD i stick to 2, last night i got pretty wasted but i had me squad leader to get me home (HHC Medical Platoon bonding night). Normally though, when im with my scouts im usually the DD. Yes, moderation is hard for many people. Beer has actually ruined my perfect 6 pack so right now im trying to cut down on beer, work out more, and watch the diet so i can get it back.

When I got out I could run 10 miles under an hour and still polish off a case that night

Take it from an older, hopefully wiser man. When you get married, have another career trying to make money, have kids and a house payment, there will be more things than just your diet attacking those six pack abs

the reason alot of these kids go to the hospital is they are trying to smoke it like its weed!! it only takes one to two small hits of this stuff and you are damn near trippin!

they are not thinking and go and roll a whole joint or pack a whole bowl not knowing what they are getting into.

the strongest stuff called relaxinol - all it takes is one small toke, hold it for 3 seconds and thats it.

it's serious shit people, you go smokin it like your thinking your top chief iron lung - guess what...it's gonna spank your ass and make you freak out..
