A drug is, in the broadest of terms, a chemical substance that has known biological effects on humans or other animals.
In pharmacology, a drug is "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being."Drugs may be used for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.
Recreational drugs are chemical substances that affect the central nervous system, such as opioids or hallucinogens. Alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine are the most widely consumed psychotropic drugs worldwide.

It mentions nothing about a drug being manufactured.
To be fair to the site, Freeborn, I think that the ownership have attempted in previous times, to allow a certain level of reasonable discussion on this topic before, beyond the current standard, and have had to deal with the most sophomoric blather from the less restrained members, an abundance of personal use descriptions, and basically the wrong kind of discussion for this site for their trouble.
That and the site has to keep certain talk away so that they can maintain a favorable status among advertisers.
Promoting a sober approach to discussion is a good thing, and I for one am happy about the current direction of discussion on the topic, despite what my own habits may or may not be.
I really think the 3 amigos need to make a formal, logical and reasonable statement on where we stand on the issue.

My worry though is that people who advocate seem to get incredibly annoying when the topic is brought up or allowed to be discussed.
