word. thats my point above about defining drugs as pharmaceutical or synthetic.
this does not IMPLY SAFETY or SIMPLICITY, it just implies naturalness.
A plant can be dangerous. It can kill you in seconds. It can get you pleasantly high, or it can destroy your mind in a psychotic wasteland. Alcohol is perhaps the most dangerous substance we have ever devised, it kills tens of thousands of people a year through disease, accidents etc etc. Half of all shootings in America are alcohol related.. it is a terrible substance, but it plant based, it is relatively natural, and therefore it has its purpose. DRUGS on the other hand, tend to be man-made, synthetic and have no necessary purpose with a WICKED amount of side-effects.
I don't recommend people get out of their envelope with anything, plant or drug or otherwise, but I DEFINITELY do not promote drug use. Its just not my thing (this includes heroin, cocaine, vicodin, xanax, valium, etc etc)
These things are EVEN MORE DANGEROUS when used as a supposed medicine. I don't trust any substance that I can't just stop taking. With anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs you CAN'T just STOP taking them, you have to gradually step down. That shit is scary. And its similar with many pharmaceuticals.. they are mind-altering in a FAR more sinister way.. plus who sells this shit to us? I'll take a street pusher over a big rx company salesman any day of the week!
