That's exactly what I meant. In a literal sense, pretty much any substance/chemical is a drug (like sugar). Yet, since the 80s, the word "drug" means something very different.
In that sense, I wouldn't call SWEs a "drug using group."
We all know the pedantic meaning of the word "drug" - in that case, the whole humanity is a drug-taking species, since we prefer drug-altered consciousness to our natural one (e.g. by caffeine).
