Drug
I wrote a sentence and I want to mean that marijuana was made as a medicine for medical treat, but now it is being used more as a drug by addicts.
Doctor said, 'These days marijuana is being used more as a kind of drug than what it was actually made for.'
Is the sentence grammatically correct?
