"Weed" is an "herb". The "drugs" in weed are THC and the cannabinols/oids.
> would you not consider modern ayahuasca consumption as a drug
From the context of what I wrote, obviously not. In colloquial usage, I would call it a drug, but I was obviously making a distinction here.
> Plus what's the point of making the distinction?
The context and particularities of what I was saying is the point!!!!!!!!!!
Herbs do not naturally standardize their active compounds. These compounds are subject to variable expression based on the genetics, environmental conditions in which they are grown, and time of harvest. Purified drugs, and even some herb-based supplements, are standardized. Even when they're being debased on the street, they're being debased in the batch in a standard manner (assuming they were well mixed, of course).
> and that's false, there's native tribes that would make powder out of seeds and snort them.
Thanks for letting me know. I don't see that this fact detracts from the larger point I'm making. Please stop nitpicking and try to see the larger point I was trying to make. I'm not trying to have an argument here, I'm trying to have a discussion.
