No! It is a matter of intent. If you partake of substances with the intent to get high or intoxicated, it is a completely different thing from inadvertently consuming a small amount of vanilla extract or alcohol in a medicine. Now, if you drink 17 bottles of vanilla extract with the intent of getting stoned, then you have a problem.
Our Guru didn't want us to get attached to any substance that changes our consciousness. Only Naam.
