It is, in fact, the dosage alone that makes a thing itself, not a poison or a poison . Everything in this world is fatal at certain amounts. I honestly think anything can be addictive. Once something kills someone, it has a physiological effect! Everything can be deadly in certain amounts.
On whatever show it's called about crazy addictions, there are folks on there addicted to eating mattress foam materials. Everything is a chemical substance. Yes, according to scientific understanding, everything in the world is constructed of chemical substances; all matter, including living organisms, is composed of various combinations of chemical elements and compounds, making "everything" essentially made of chemicals. Drugs are chemical substances. Is it not safe to say that everything is a drug if we're saying the definition of a drug is a chemical substance?
The definition of a drug is a medicine or other substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body. No, not all chemical substances have a noticeable physiological effect on the body; the degree of effect depends on the chemical itself, the dosage, and the route of exposure, meaning even seemingly harmless substances can become toxic at high enough doses or under certain conditions; essentially, "all chemicals can be toxic at a certain level" is the key concept here which makes everything a drug in my opinion. But not thinking of it that way is like saying caffeine, which is a drug, isn't because it has minimal physiological effects or effects that are unknown or immeasurable to us and/or unnoticeable when it's still not less of a drug than heroin, which does have measurable and noticable physiological effects. We only understand 10% of the brain, anyhow. That proves my point that everything in a broad understanding actually is a drug. The biggest thing that makes something have a physiological effect is the dosage ingested.
Too little, there's no physiological effect and it's not labeled a drug. Just enough or too much, then it's physiological effect are measurable aswell as noticeable regardless of the degree. So, a substance alone having a physiological effect, in my opinion, holds no weight on whether or not a substance is a drug or not.
Everything is a drug, all the way down to even your dogs toe nail clippings. Eat enough, it'll surely have a physiological effect.
Don't let the government catch onto my genius knowledge or soon your dogs toe nails will be prohibited, criminalized, cut with fentanyl and xylazine to increase the physiological effects and you'll catch folks out on the street hustling illicit dog toe nail clippings.
