Is it a drug? I've read a lot of people compare it to pot, and cigarettes. Claiming that pot should be legalized, since alcohol is. Citing that both are drug's. I've never considered alcohol a drug, but could that be because I've always known it to be legal? When you hear the term drug's (in America - or for me anyways) I think illegal. And just for arguments sake. I'm not a user of pot (obviously.. I would be unemployed if I were) but I support legalizing the product. |

Yeah it's a drug IMO. It fits in the depressant category of drugs perfectly. |

Drugs as a word has very negative connotations, which is probably why such a beautiful creation is hard to consider in the category. |

Depressant is a chemical agent that diminishes the function or activity of a specific part of the body (see also sedative). The term is used in particular with regard to the central nervous system (CNS). Alcohol is the most common example of a depressant. Many depressants acting on the CNS do so by increasing the activity of a particular neurotransmitter known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). -The most scholarly source on earth, wikipedia. Knowing drugs and neurotransmitters is part of my degree, sry.

Dr Bman hit the nail on the head drugs are chemicals which induce certain effects on receptors in the brain, whether they increase their functioning or decrease their functioning these receptors which are effected are all linked to pathways which ultimately control movement, mood and internal systems regulation Alcohol is a decreasing one, it slows the body down - sluggish reactions, can make a bad mood worse, provoke irrational/violent reactions (but this can also be dependent on the user, a completely different arguement) and also makes you piss more as it is a diuretic (sp?) which means it affects the kidneys and filtration system of your body all other drugs, ranging from caffine to heroin act through the same mechanism - they stimulate a receptor pathway and either increase its functioning, decrease it or inhibit it all together since the only thing i do now is smoke cigarettes (don't drink or smoke green that much anymore as my social life died when i was assaulted and cocaine makes me ill for a week/2 after use) i wouldn't mind a quick legalization of marajuana... then i could actually legitamately hotbox my room... as its been waaaaay too long since i last did it |

I've been thinking of trying it. But none of my friends are interested in doing it with me (fucking pussies). And who really wants to trip by themselves? |

You're just quicker to post than me. I was honestly coming in here both times (and in staff, surely) to post what you posted. Probably with some more profanity thrown in, but yeah. |
