It is a self defense mechanism to make animals which eat them stop eating them and go away. Along comes stupid humans who like the disorienting effect of the plant toxins, and decide to tamper with their nervous system on a regular basis.
Beyond that, Marijuana is continuously being hybrid into varieties with nearly deadly concentrations of THC. How do you put that into your philosophical "nature is good" pipe and smoke it?
“Marijuana is continuously being hybrid into varieties with nearly deadly concentrations of THC”
Nearly deadly?!? Are you serious? How could you even quantify a deadly dose of THC, seeing as nobody has ever overdosed on it?
Well philosophically I agree with the Bible:
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
Genesis 1:29
Note God didn’t say SOME he said EVERY.
Words matter.
Works for me.
If you drink too much water it will kill you.
