Are you going to call my spinach a drug because it contains certain chemicals necessary for the production of seretonin (and therefore mind-altering)? No. Marijuana is and never was, a drug. If you believe it is, then your mind is posioned by the media, may god save your soul.
Don't be so stupid, dose your brain really have spinach receptors? No? But it dose have canabanoid receptors specifically for chemicals like THC. Spinach is broken down and converted to energy and fat in your body it doesn’t contain chemicals which cross the blood brain barrier and latch on to receptor sites.
By your own definition shrooms wouldn’t be a drug either but they do contain a multitude of psychoactive compounds as dose weed. If you think you could just pop a THC pill and recreate the weed experience or dose up on pure psilocybin psilocin and it would feel exactly like shrooms your wrong. It’s the interaction of many chemicals in these plants and the method of administration (smoking the plant, letting the mushrooms digest in your stomach) that create the intricacies of the high. The same way drinking a peyote cocktail is different from just taking mescaline because of the number of different alkaloids present.
