It has to be, the best PR Spin, in History ?
A Marketing Genius', crowning Achievement !
It happened, well before my Generation, of being a late stage Baby-Boomer ?
But, how did big Tobacco, and Alcohol manage to spin Themselves off as not being considered a Drug ?
They're Tobacco, and Alcohol !
Somehow, not a Drug ?
IMHO, It's really just, orchestrated Semantics ?
What is a Drug ?
drug
/drəɡ/
noun
1. a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.
"a new drug aimed at sufferers from Parkinson's disease"
synonyms:medicine,*medication,*medicament,*pharmaceutical;More
verb
1. administer a drug to (someone) in order to induce stupor or insensibility.
"they were drugged to keep them quiet"
synonyms:anesthetize, narcotize;
The most common Drug, the majority of Us use Daily, is a cup of Coffee !
Good old Caffeine .
Nicotine( Tobacco ) IMO, is one of the most addictive Drugs commonly used, and accepted as socially Ok !
And Alcohol too, is somehow, not a Drug ?
Yet, can be as addictive, as any known to Mankind ?
And, completely accepted by our Society, as a socially used Drug for any Occasion .
About now, You're probably asking Yourself, where's He going with this ?
I'm curious, how long will it take Marijuana, to lose the Societal Stigma, of being considered a detrimental notorious Drug ?
Nobody has ever Overdosed, or compromised their ability to recognize the difference between Right, and Wrong while being under the influence of Marijuana ?
Yet Marijuana, is still considered by many, as a bad gateway Drug ?
With all the attached, negative Stigma !
Cheers
P.S. It would have been nice, to get a Clarification, before this Thread got Locked down ?
