Is ganja a drug

Answer 1

whether or not marijuana is a drug depends on your definition of a drug.

if the word 'drug' comes from German 'trogen', dried plant material, it is as much a drug as dried grass, or salvia divinorum leaves. it sure is plant material.

if by drug you mean a substance that elicits a (psycho)pharmacological response in man, such as acetaminophen, Tylenol, Ritalin, mdma... yeah it does something to you alright.

if, at last by drug you mean something destructive to the body like as crack cocaine or physiologically addictive like alcohol, then it is not.

everything depends on context.
