You say "it doesn't mean it's a drug" even though pangolin scales are a very coveted and expensive item. What are these people paying for and why would they be willing to take risks to have it? Maybe they know something you are unwilling to admit, that it is used as a drug.

Or they're from a superstitious culture who believes keratin (the same thing that makes up your toenails) has magical medicinal powers. Diamonds are also very coveted and expensive items that is smuggled, does that make them a drug?

I have never used pangolin scales and I have never tried meth, and do not intend to do so. I have no personal experience how either act like a drug, but the people who have seem convinced that it is a drug. I will not talk to you about this any more. You are free to argue with those that have personal experience with these substances and you can try to convince them that they are wrong.
