witchcraft-changing a person's mind without discussion or consent, by some other outside force, generally denoted "for evil" or "for the worse," as by certain drugs or foods.
do try not to be insulting... okay?
witchcraft~magik: using spiritual power other than God's to cause things
to happen in the physical realm.
Forgive formatting and spelling etc... I never went back to edit it.
You stole my thought before I could think it!
I was going to say that we were discussing the spiritual/supernatural side of witchcraft. However, I have heard that illegal drugs are also used to acheive 'altered states of consciousness'.

Well, I am sorry, I meant no insult; I have just always accepted the def of "pharmacy" as one def of "witchcraft," a common interpretation? I am not yet persuaded differently, although I might be; but I find your "Bewitched" def kind of irrelevant, to a believer? At least it seems like.
My experiences with Meth are going to make it hard for anyone to alter "pharmacea" for me to any other def, which I note hasn't been extended here, yet...
"witchcraft~magik: using spiritual power other than God's to cause things

I find inadequate because 1) These things are irrelevant to a believer, and 2) "born again" defines as "change your mind" to many Christians, and I'm convinced that this is the witchcraft we need to consider; something that changes your mind (to say, thinking it is ok to use "magic" to alter the physical world, ok). Bewitched is a lie.

So.....

Like I have said more than once.....
Huh? There are a number of irrelevant and just strange things said here.
I feel like if a doctor prescribes a medication to a person that doesn't need it, they're practicing a form of witchcraft. I also feel like if someone takes an herbal medicine or prescription drug they don't need, they're practicing a form of witchcraft.
