Joss Stone Riffs On Drugs, Amy And Being A “Diva B*tch”

=) No judgement! She is right.
Weed is natural, not a man made chemical like meth or coke.
Keep smokin those bowls. lol

Dog %)^&#`~^&+)&)_^_ is natural. Black widows are natural. Mescaline is natural. Although you could classify weed as a herb, it could also very well be classified as a drug, it is completely based on how you use it. Although there is no definition everybody agrees on, it is generally agreed that any substance that when any exogenous (from outside the body)substance, that when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters functioning. Whether something is toxic or not has nothing to with it being natural. By Katie’s argument morphine would be acceptable, as it is naturally found in nature. Finally, although methamphetamine can do great harm, it is used legally for the treatment of ADHD. Methamphetamine was first thought to be a man made chemical( EVIL!!!!!) but recently it was found to be produced naturally in a tree called Acacia berlandieri,( It’s good for you, it’s all natural). I am not anti-drug, I am just tired of people speaking in ambiguous terms about something they don’t understand.

I am sorry Matt-tardblog is hurt by my comments, but many of his/her comments are simply not true. The fact that you have ADHD does not make you knowledgeable on prescription drugs. Pharmaceutical grade methamphetamine goes by the name Desoxyn, so first off, you are plain wrong. I am aware of dextro-amphetamine such as Dexedrine or a racemic formulation such as adderall being used in much the same way as Desoxyn. Methamphetamine is very powerful, and so a therapeutic dose of meth would be lower than a comparable dose of d-amphetamine. Heroine is a semi-synthetic drug. It is Morphine that has been di-acetylated, this is why I chose to use morphine, something found in a reasonably high percentage in raw opium. I consider the small cut in a poppy pod to be reasonably close to natural. My initial post was simply to comment on Stone’s comment about how she does not consider Marijuana to be a drug, and katie’s post that seemed to imply that synthetic drugs were bad BECAUSE they were synthetic and that natural things could not hurt you, a potentially dangerous presumption. If her argument was valid, methamphetamine would be considered safe since it can be natural. I do not want to take a stance on this one way or another, other than saying that as for toxicity, its a matter of concentration as with all things.
Also, I may not have been clear in my explaining that food is not generally considered a drug simply for simplicity reasons. It is true that such things as nutmeg or psilocybin mushrooms may blur the line between food and drugs. To make the definition more clear I would have to add “with the intention to become intoxicated/intent of using it as drug”. I want to once again state that I am not anti-drug/ anti-marijuana, in fact I am a strong advocate of responsible drug use.
