Talk:Medication/archive
Does a drug really have to be pharmaceutical to qualify as medication?
Does the current redirect represent a belief that medication is only such if licensed as such?
If unlicensed plumbing is nonetheless plumbing, however poor or undesirable, and unlicensed radio broadcasts are nonetheless radio broadcasts, then unlicensed medication seems to be nonetheless medication

- I happen to agree with you that "medication" should not always mean "pharmaceutical", but it doesn't really matter. For a redirect such as this, what really matters is how it is used. I think it is quite clear that by far the majority of incoming links to this redirect are for the "pharmaceutical" meaning and not the more generic "drug" meaning. The redirect serves a practical purpose and should reflect that. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
