now that's where you're wrong mister! practically everything we put in ourselves is a drug. definition of drug = anything that changes bodily functions except food or water lmao. herb = drug

I don't know if such a loose definition is practical. Things that I put into my body that isn't food or water, but changes my bodily functions include:sunlight, knowledge, air, love, divine energies; when I was in kindergarten I ate clay, playdough, glue, etc. Just a couple thoughts.

also, i consume addictive things that have overwhelmingly good health benefits, and I believe that labeling them as drugs has given them a bad name. Take coffee for instance. if you have heart disease or diabetes, it could potentially be bad for you (although most of that is hypothetical information that is not entirely proven). On the other hand, it is a legitimate and extremely effective way to counter Anthrax poisoning. One 20oz cup of coffee has more antioxidants in it that most westerners get in the rest of their daily diet COMBINED. it is a powerful anti-carcinogen therefore proven to fight and prevent many types of cancers especially skin cancer. It improves memory, analytical and creative thinking, motor function (including sports performance). it is a great way to fight headaches...the best anti-headache medications on the market all have lots of caffeine in them. Of course, it can cause some terrible headaches (if you miss your caffeine dose

Anyway, i'm sorry for ranting. I know that your definition is historically valid and i'm not disputing that, i'm just saying that for practical purposes, i try to draw some distinctions.
