- If a drug is defined as "something which you take into your body
- which causes a physical change within some part of the body" then a liposuction
- hose would be a drug (introduced through a hole at waist-level) which removes
- fat.
-
- However, the only magical properties associated with any drugs are
- those associated with various psychedelics and such, or with certain
- opiates. As it is unknown whether anything resembling the legendary magic
- in fact exists, no legitimate studies have been done to attempt to categorize
- the magical effects of drugs.
- However, no reported alleged magic is known to directly to effect the
- number OR size of existing fat cells in the body.
- On the other hand, the infamous magical drug "Belladona Flying
- Ointment" IS known to leave fat cells ON the body.
- Thank You.
