How is my response ad hominem, pray tell?

"Ad hominem circumstantial points out that someone is in circumstances such that they are disposed to take a particular position." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem#Circumstantial

Have anything to say about the actual topic of discussion - which, if you've forgotten, is the damaging effects of drugs illegal and legal?

Hmm...I didn't say "ad hominem CIRCUMSTANTIAL." I distinctly said "Ad hominem" without any qualifiers.

Please refrain from attempting to intentionally misinterpret me.

I simply asked a question out of curiosity, and you immediately went on the defensive, assuming I was attacking or maligning you personally in some way.

You know what they always say:

"Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups"
