Actully you are the one who should be reading more critically.

And should follow your own advice. That garbage article you posted was absurd, particularly this tidbit.

The active substance in cannabis, thujone, creates Atrial natriuretic peptides which stimulates the consequent reactions in the body.

You need to do some research on thujone
before you go making ridiculous statements.


Except from link below:

"The toxicity of thujone in the brain is believed to result from its structural similarity to tetrahydrocannibinol, or THC (3) , the active compound in marijuana. ...Thujone and THC have similar shapes, and it is believed that they interact with the same biological receptor to produce their similar psychological effects"

Along with everything else, the Russians now claim to have invented ditchweed.
