Let us put this to rest. What exactly is a Rec Drug?

[Times Roman]

I wrote this up in another thread, but wanted to clarify so others will not be confused and violate the rules by discussing.

recreational drug use is, and I will quote from Wiki, so you are not just hearing it from me

Recreational drug use is the use of a drug with the intention of creating or enhancing recreational experience. Drugs commonly considered capable of recreational use include alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and drugs within the scope of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Psychopharmacologist Ronald K. Siegel refers to intoxication as the "fourth drive", arguing that the human instinct to seek mind-altering substances (psychoactive drugs) has so much force and persistence that it functions like the human desire to satisfy hunger, thirst, and the need for shelter

so, to sum it up, recreational drug use is described as partaking for the sole purpose of intoxication.

Taking aas to improve one's body fails as a rec drug.

You are confusing yourself if you think aas is a rec drug.

Rec drugs may or may not be illegal.

Med drugs may or may not be illegal.

Legality really has nothing to do with rec drugs.

The "spirit" of the rule is as follows....

Illegal + rec drug = do not discuss.

Does this clear up the debate?

There are some places though that do welcome recreational drugs...

Pain pills for pain = talk about
Pain pills with alcohol for fun = no talk about

Got it.

Ok I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that a rec drug is a drug that has three letters in it. R and E and C.

Hmmm what if I take pain pills because I enjoy not being in pain or discomfort? Hey wait, you mean it works better with alcohol? ??
