I think we are all on the same page here. No offense was intended. I was just trying to be supportive of Eve in cutting the pharmaceutical umbilical cord.
Sometimes we do get blind-sided by plants, take lavender for example. Turns out that compounds in lavender oil mimic estrogen and, in a few cases, little boys have started growing breasts.
Speaking of dats. My brother had a drop of dew from a brugmansia flower fall in his eye. His wife had to take him to the hospital when he started feeling dizzy and his vision blurred. They gave him a shot of something and, he was soon back up on his feet. He was a bit shaken by the experience but, otherwise fine.
Marijuana has been illegal since 1933, when Elliot Ness & Co. suddenly needed a "raison d'etre" due to the legalization of booze. No doubt about it though, marijuana can definitely be hazardous to your freedom. Smoking anything (combustion products), can't be good for you.
And I see that that popular populist, Evo Morales, is about to legalize, to some degree, coca in Bolivia.
That said, a person would be a fool to recreationally use amphetamines. Everybody but "tweekers" know their mind-eating and, physically punishing side-effects.
My favorite irritation is treating the dandelion as a weed when it is really a great diuretic that provides potassium, which most diuretics leach from your body.
