Non-consensually tripping, confused and frightened. Physically affected to the point the adults called 999. EMTs took one to hospital “due to a pre-existing condition,” but it was triggered by consuming the edibles. The others were termed “stable” which is not the same as “fine.” We don’t have much data on how psilocybin affects children’s minds and bodies, although I guess we have a little more now.
“A drug is any chemical substance other than a nutrient or an essential dietary ingredient, which, when administered to a living organism, produces a biological effect.”
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.
Tabers was the first proper medical dictionary I found on DDG search. It is one I have a physical copy of on the shelf in the room behind me. I merely copied the definition, and gave examples of substances (“any substance”). U/cattywampus, have I upset some sort of applecart that you were holding onto? I once had a lawyer attempt to impune my credentials in a depostion, by asking if I prescribed drugs. He wouldn’t define the term. In that case it’s best to find an accepted reference, and submit that definition. In the moment I did not, alas. All the same my client won their case. Moral: Don’t let lawyers play word games with you; call them on that immediately and with references.
Fallen ill, or, got high?

Drugged.
Drug: Any substance that, when taken into a living organism, may modify one or more of its functions.

E.G. - acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin), vitamin C, water, oxygen, apples etc.
I.E - we’re all drugged.
EDIT: added apples.
Since we’re being pedantic:
Not that you really needed the clarification, since you obviously just want to be obnoxious for no real reason.
That’s not a useful definition of drugs and you know it
I want to hear your definition of drugs.

edited for clarity.
Got a little bit high.
This was my thought. Not saying that there is any justification, but the phrasing is very leading.
Exactly what I was thinking. Bullshit headline. They were just pickled.
