A drug is anything that alters your soul through matter. Sugar is a drug. You can't peddle sugar unless you're a horse though- or 5 years old. For conversation's sake though.. And to further delve in the illusion that human beings can communicate with one another on an abstract level- .. I think anything society has a fit about is likely what we call a drug. For conversation's sake. Alcohol, caffeine, all of the fed restrictred substances- everything from tobacco to heroin and ibuprofen. I don't think wether it's a legal or unrestricted substance really defines something to be a drug or not. Look at the history of cocaine, opium- Was cocaine not a drug until societies regulated it? :) MDMA (ecstasy, i believe) was entirely fine a few decades ago. Would we say it's not a drug? If it became deregulated, would we no longer call it a drug? :) I don't think this topic is off the realm of coding. Maybe it's just me who's a dirty ba5+ard whose friends are all ex junkies and social deviants, hermits and computer n3rds and wh0r35. It seems to me that if you look at a chunk of the geek population, there are a lot of eccentrics and extremists- die hard religious gurus and or paper clip snorting addicts.
