quote:The truth is that no single uniform feature is found in all the substances called drugs that differentiates them from all the substances called nondrugs, except that all drugs have been called drugs by somebody. http://knowledge.sagepub.com/view/the-relativity-of-deviance-2e/n9.xml quote:there are no drugs in “nature.”…As with addiction, the concept of drugs supposes an instituted and an institutional definition: a history is required, and a culture, conventions, evaluations, norms, an entire network of intertwining discourses, a rhetoric, whether explicit or elliptical… The concept of drugs is not a scientific concept, but is rather instituted on the basis of moral or political evaluations: it carries in itself both norm and prohibition, allowing no possibility of description or certification – it is a decree, a buzzword. Usually the decree is of a prohibitive nature. - Derrida, J. (1993). The rhetoric of drugs. An interview. Differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies, 5(1): 1-25. quote:we [the FDA] have determined that your walnut products are promoted for conditions that cause them to be drugs http://www.fda.gov/iceci/enforcementactions/warningletters/ucm202825.htm 1. Is cannabis a drug, dietary supplement or simply a leafy green vegetable? Can it be all these things? 2. Is GHB a date rape drug, club drug, dietary supplement and/or a endogenous neurotransmitter? Who gets to decide and why? 3. When does a substance become a drug? 4. Can drugs be categorised as 'hard' or 'soft'; or do these labels violate basic pharmacological precepts? ===== It seems pretty clear to me that few people have thought critically, and perhaps are unable to think critically, about the answer to these questions. To answer question 1, for example, one has to have historical knowledge of the cannabis plant (its wide range of uses) as well as a basic understanding of photochemistry. To answer question 2, people need some rudimentary neurobiology and a familiarity with sociological concepts such as 'moral panics' . To answer question 3 people need an understanding of how drug regulators operate. To answer question 4 (which I will answer for you; NO, the hard drug/soft drug concept is scientific nonsense) people need a basic understanding of pharmacology and an awareness of post-structuralism (which is why I included the quote from Derrida). I'm curious to know how deeply people have thought about these questions, whether they have trouble answering them or have any other thoughts to share on this topic.

A drug is a chemical that interacts with biology in some way. So pretty much everything.

A shart is when you fart and poop comes out. It is a portmanteau of "poo poo" and "fart". HTH

A shart is when you poo poo your pants while farting. Very similar to how you were conceived, OP.

Sharting is a wonderful experience that should be shared with friends and family. If everyone simply shares and exchanged their stories we as a species would have a unifying experience that would serve as a foundation for the free exchange of ideas

Speaking of "hard" and "soft" drugs, can somebody recommend a stool softener? I have tiny hard poops on account of how angry I am all the time.

Your cousin is gross. "Enough to get the job done properly" is enough, even if you have to pulp an entire redwood because your rear end resembles a melted pint of hagen daas.

System Metternich posted:What is a shart? A miserable little I find that men are much more adventurous when letting farts go. I propose that is why we evolved to have anus hair. It is a way to let even the riskiest farts go. The hairs catch the shrapnel. The extra poop-grabbing hairs allow us the time needed to vacate the area and clean our bums without forcing us to hold in farts.
