All I said is the government should leave people alone. Harmless or not, do you really believe people should do time for possessing and using a plant? Let’s not discuss the other substance, alcohol , which is responsible for more death and misery than weed ever will.
Many morning glory species have LSA in their seeds (lysergic acid amide), a precursor to LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide). For that and because of being classified as noxious weeds, possession of such plants and their seeds is quite heavily regulated.
Same goes for the peyote cactus, which produces mescaline.
BTW, drinking alcohol is not produced industrially, but from plants itself. I have never seen people who abuse alcohol go to heavy downers as I’ve seen those who abuse cannabis, although they might tend towards stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines.
The scotch drinkers never want to talk about alcohol.
