Thanks, that's a good one one. I was wondering where exactly you disagreed with the previous definition, and that's reasonable.

Not trying to gotcha or anything, I just think it's fun, but niacin is an example of a substance that is a nutrient but can also produce a drug effect ("niacin flush") when taken in large (non-nutritive) quantities.

So for me personally, whether something is a drug or not depends less on the identity of the substance, and more on the specific interaction with the organism, and what effect is most salient to observers. I don't have a pithy definition handy, though.

I want to hear your definition of drugs.

I couldn't tell you about ray tracing, but it's been pretty painless for me to run specific apps on igpu/dgpu using switcheroo-control

Holy moly I didn't believe you until I checked Wikipedia. Was that tweet sent by a human or was it just a scheduled tweet that became unintentionally posthumous?

Thanks for the reply.

Let's do a thought experiment.

Imagine that you enjoy alcohol, as in you like to pair wine with cheese and you like to relax with a beer after work. Now imagine that I tell you that alcohol should be banned, and as evidence I show you a news story of some teenagers who don't know how to control their drinking and drink too much and get into a fight with police and almost die. Not only would you think that I'm hopelessly uninformed about alcohol, but you would also feel vaguely threatened by me because when I say that alcohol should be banned, I'm implying that harmless wine connoisseurs like you should be persecuted and locked in cages. You might point out that the teenagers are actually the victims, and the real perpetrators are the store that sold alcohol to minors, and the parents who failed to teach their children what responsible drinking looks like. You might also say that it's a violation of personal freedom to tell responsible adults what they can and cannot drink in the privacy of their own home.

You would be absolutely right, and all of your arguments would apply equally to psychedelics.
