The Chili plant produces toxin to make itself taste repulsive to most diners, but we humans have a strange way of liking things that have a kick to them so to speak, so we sort of take advantage of this fact. The thing is toxins are not good, but we can tolerate them in small doses.

I really missed your point there sorry :/

The first sentence was the point, nothing more really.

Nature is like a medicine cabinet. When you know what you eat from it, you'll be fine, but when you assume that everything inside is safe to eat just because it says medicine on the cover, there will be some really unpleasant ramifications.

Why would I have to do it? There are better ways to get a good sensation, imo.

There's a big difference between a physical addiction and a psychological addiction. Just because you were addicted to it does not mean it is an addictive substance. I smoked for about five months and then my pipe broke in June. I still haven't gotten another one yet, but I never had any feelings of addiction whatsoever. Sure, I liked it and have fond memories of it, but I don't feel a craving. I think you might just have an addictive personality

I think people are more likely to get addicted to the smoking related activities rather than the substance itself.

That's a good point that you brought up Andi.

That's ridiculous to use as a negative argument - it can be grown perfectly well in the open, but doing so is obviously dangerous. Any non-modified plant grown indoors will create similar energy bills.

yep exactly, but the truth is we live in a world where weed is a "bad thing" so growing outdoors would most likely get you into trouble because of snitch neighbours or helicopters that pass by

That's a great point Aquaplant, I think way too many people will just go for something because it says "natural" or "organic" these days. Shows who's really ignorant and who really knows what it means to be healthy.

Got it now Aquaplant.

We gonna get high, or what?

[Pa'li Makto]

Just ask Andi. XD

Grow them amongst some palm trees or ferns. Just so they get enough light.
