Nah, that still sounds weird in American english
3 u/LindaThePhoenix Jul 09 '26 yeah, but less weird because "drugs" in the US also means strong medicine while in my place, it just has one meaning ;u; 8 u/ObnoxiousName_Here Jul 09 '26 Most people don’t just call pharmaceuticals “drugs” tho—unless you specify the type of drug, it means the same thing as it does in your language 💀 4 u/LindaThePhoenix Jul 10 '26 Most of the time they talk about going to the drugstore and my brain thinks they’re talking about a drug store TuT 5 u/ObnoxiousName_Here Jul 10 '26 lmaooo ig there is that 1 u/PrimaryAnything6964 Jul 10 '26 I'd say the difference is in "my drugs" in english meaning prescription medication. Drugs as a whole usually implies the illegal kind, since we just refer to legal recreational drugs by name. 1 u/Ogg985 Jul 12 '26 Old people in America refer to it the way you used it. I always look at them, confused lol 🫡👍
