"A drug is any substance that can be used to modify a chemical process or processes in the body, for example to treat an illness, relieve a symptom, enhance a performance or ability, or to alter states of mind. The word "drug" is etymologically derived from the Dutch/Low German word "droog", which means "dry", since in the past, most drugs were dried plant parts. "
By that definition, yes, marijuana is a drug.

well, I'd have to say it depends on the definition you use for "drug"
according to yahoo dictionary, a drug is "A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction."
Now, Marijuana, is known to be "A preparation made from the dried flower clusters and leaves of the cannabis plant, usually smoked or eaten to induce euphoria.", meaning that, by inducing euphoria, it should be affecting the central nervous system. So, I guess yes, it must be labled as a drug

of course it is. Sugar can technically be considered a drug. Anything that alters the human brain in any way is considered a drug. Alcohol could be considered a drug, as well as cigs :-)

yes it is a drug and illegal in the US to use, possess or distribute. The only time you can use it legally is if prescribed by a doctor.
