It goes along with how they categorize cannabis as "drug" while alcohol for some reason gets it's own special category.

    Alcohol isn't a drug, it's a drink.

    Edit: I guess the niche 90s British comedy references don't fly too well on the fediverse.

    Because one is legal and one isn't...

    If alcohol or tobacco was illegal, they'd be treated like illegal drugs

    Laws aren't always correct.

    Do you understand it now?

    So if cannabis is a "drug" because it's illegal and alcohol is "alcohol" because it's legal, why is ibuprofen a "drug" and not "alcohol"? Or maybe, did you misunderstand something, and the condescending tone is not only embarrassing, but completely unwarranted?

    This is so dumb, and both of you are very obviously 'Murica brained where you just can't think of any difference there is oitside the US. Both Alcohol and Nicotine are drugs, and so are medications, they're just legal drugs. It's not "not a drug" and "drug (meaning illegal", it's "legal drug" and "illegal drug".
