Drugs is a Human Construct

The human body is an assembly of chemicals, as is all food & all medicine. So what we label as a drug is a social construct.

Lifting weights changes your bio-physiology in a way that creates performance-enhancing effects on your body.

Drinking coffee changes your metabolism in a way that creates performance-enhancing effects on your body.

Eating breakfast changes your biochemstry in a way that creates performance-enhancing effects on your body.

Practicing in your sport of choice creates performance enhancing changes in your timing & reflexes.

Cardio exercise alters your biochemistry in ways that create performance enhancing changes in your body's stamina.

Getting a good night's sleep alters your brain function in a way that creates performance enhancing changes in your mind.

Yes, some of your best friends are made of 100% chemicals, whether or not their moniker is @ARod

Notes:

Everyone and every substance is chemicals and molecules. How we classify them is purely a social construct.
