  >Fluoride is a mineral.
Even noble gases can be psychoactive.

Fluoride and fluorine are not the same thing, and fluorine is not a noble gas

The implication to be thwarted was of "mineral" vs "hormone"; the distinction was moot, as there is no such real thing as a "drug" - all things are chemicals, and can be psychoactive to humans in either their presence or absence.

Most notably (in the context of un-intuitiveness), is Xenon - it is't even a chemical, but an element - a noble one, which is almost nonsensical given most's flawed intuition.

  > fluorine is not a noble gas
Correct, although ironically it wasn't much use in direct chemical-warfare, it was used more as a pre-cursor to enrich Uranium.

…what?

I haven’t the faintest clue what you’re talking about. I don’t think you know what the word “psychoactive” means, either. By your definition, water is psychoactive too. Is that what you’re suggesting?
