> I have nothing in particular against pot, but the fact that humans have THC receptors doesn't necessarily mean that people were "intended" to use it.
Yea, I winced when I saw I posted that !
Should of read:
So it follows THC like actives are important to function.The point I was trying to make was that we need to be careful when we make across the board statements like "XTC will fry you or LSD is bad for you" because substances much like them are endogenous. Many neurotransmitters are very very slightly different from psychedelics. Many NT's are indole based, as are many psychedelics. DMT is endogenous AND a psychedelic.
LSD and 5HT are only slightly different.Nature is telling us something, I don't know what. But I don't thing we should be banning these substances and conducting scare studies on them.
Given that people have been taking them for
centuries without major problems in a large number of people I find that my tax $$ going to produce studies where huge doses are given to rats
just to prove something is absurd.
