From Wikipedia: > A drug is any chemical substance that when consumed causes a change in an organism's physiology, including its psychology, if applicable.

Coffee, psychedelics and alcohol are drugs just like heroin. Whether you believe they are useful to consume is a different matter.

That's exactly what I meant. In a literal sense, pretty much any substance/chemical is a drug (like sugar). Yet, since the 80s, the word "drug" means something very different.

In that sense, I wouldn't call SWEs a "drug using group."

We all know the pedantic meaning of the word "drug" - in that case, the whole humanity is a drug-taking species, since we prefer drug-altered consciousness to our natural one (e.g. by caffeine).
