Why are people so stupid (natural drugs)?

Question

What’s a drug you ask? In chemistry a drug is a compound. For example the compound of water is H20. When molecules come together they create a compound, for example water is H2O (2 Hydrogen molecules, 1 oxygen molecule) I know water isn’t a drug but it’s the same way drugs are made.

So my question is why do people say only use natural drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, even legal drugs that increase energy Ginseng, things like that are accepted more than unnatural drugs? You always hear people say "oh this stuff is great its 100% natural gives me great energy and its wonderful" When its Exactly the same thing?

For instance:
Methamphetmine is C10H15N
THC is C21H30O2
water is H2O
Ginseng is don’t know off the top of my head actually.

As you can see all they are is arrangements of molecules, it doesn’t matter where the **** they came from their all the same (in a way)Morphine is 100% natural and is considered the second most addicting drug on the planet next to heroin (near the same drug

NO... morphine is 100% natural it comes from opium on average opium is 14% pure morphine. Opium is the latex(White milky stuff) that comes off of Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) Cut the BUlb after the flowers fall off and you will see

Answer 1

The pharmacutical corporations are some of the wealthiest in the world. They would like us all to believe that manufactured and altered products are safer and more effective than natural ones. and if you think morphine is a natural product you are mistaken.

Answer 2

Good question. Excellent question. I'm glad you asked!

Allow me to talk to you from the eastern medicine point of view.
The methodology used in eastern medicine is different than western medicine, it's more focused on maintaining the balance inside a person(i'm sure you've heard of the five elements). A person gets a sickness either because they lost their balance or a certain body function is too weak. It works by strengthening your immune system or your body functions first in order to fight the disease. One rule is that no matter what it does it should strengthen your inner functions first and then fight the whatever disease/symptoms you have. Interms of Antibiotics yes, western synthesized drugs are better, it should seek out to destroy the virus there is. but it left out the principle of strengthening your body. ** Plus natural herbs are easier to be absorbed by the body as a whole with much less side effects as composed to synthesized drugs.

When you're talking about those chemical symbols, they are "active ingredients" of what works inside a drug, like when you have a headache you take panadol and it's active ingredient "paracetamol" is what helps ease your headache.

Take Ginseng for example, if you were just looking to boost energy and that's your sole purpose you can isolate the "active ingredient" for boosting energy into a " single chemical". But the benefits of ginseng actually involves alot more and goes more long term then a quick fix " energy boost ". The Ginseng as a whole, a plant, is what gives the person all the benefits(strengthening immune system) instead of if you were to take a "energy boost" pill synthesized from ginseng. BECAUSE THERE ARE ALSO OTHER "MICRO-CHEMICAL" ELEMENTS IN THE GINSENG AND REQUIRE A CERTAIN COMPOSITION AND COMPLEX ANRANGEMENTS for the entire benefits of Ginseng to work. In the past some scientist have tried to isolate the "active ingredient" of certain herbal plants and tried clinically testing it on patients but it proves less effective(and sometimes lost it's effectiveness completely) then if the original plant was consumed. This is due to those many hundreds or thousands of micro elements being left out. Of course you can go hardcore and synthesize a "ginseng" pill that works exactly the same as original but that would require alot of unnecessary money and hassle when you can just consume the original plant.

So this is the small picture, and if you see the bigger picture, combining one herb with another herb under a certain carefully prescribed dose, it works as a whole to attain the functions and approach eastern medicine is supposed to carry out. A prominent example is when they treat people with cancer. Western medicine uses synthesized pills(chemicals in your case) and chemotherapy and radiotherapy which drastically damages the patient's health and body functions even though you kill the cancer. Eastern medicine's approach is strengthening your body function/immune system and maintaining the balance of the five elements so that your body is strong enough to fight the cancer.

*even ma-huang, the plant containing morphine, is used in eastern medicine to cure accute pain or sometimes arthritis but they're usually combined with other herbs to counteract the side effects(addictiveness, vomit).

Dont denounce eastern medicine as non-scientific or pseudoscience which some of the people are doing, it have existed for thousands of years, it's just that the methodology used is different then western medicine.

DAMNNN I WROTE TOO MUCH, SORRY BUD.

summary:
western pills : good for killing and nailing down the virus straight away, but sometimes have side effects.
natural herbs(eastern medicine): easier to absorb, with less side effects, and strengthens your bodily functions/immune system, so it is true.

Answer 3

Ginseng is a plant. Not sure what your question is - but all natural doesn't mean it's safe. Hemlock was the poison used in the middle ages. Foxglove grows in your yard and is used for digitalis, but it can kill you if you think it's okay because it's natural.
Funny - did you ever realize that the things we can't live without are things that can kill you? Have to have water - but you can drown. Must have air - but in the form of tornado or hurricane, it can kill you -

Answer 4

You could say that about dirt too everything in the universe comes from the same DNA, and so forth, but it is the structure of how they were arranged. Ginseng doesn't get you high and many natural herbs are things your body produces anyway, like melatonin.

Answer 5

HO HO HO, well, the Gov't. begins grooming us from the beginning First we snort Talc, in the form of Baby Powder, then drink milk intended for Baby Cows, then we graduate to sugar, caffeine, raped grains, and so on. People are not stupid, just programmed. Then shove Christianity down their throats.
From the Womb to the Tomb.... Oh, however, if on the battlefield, and a leg is blown off, I suggest Morphine is the drug of choice.
Great question.

Answer 6

I was weaned on natural drugs,in the early 70s.took them and used them for many years. don't take them now,except lortab for severe pain. I have read about 3000 books, university. IQ about 170.No problems associated with drug use. ,they really did help to make me into the person I am, and I absolutely love myself, and even you as I am spiritual person, but have your opinions. Yes people can over do anything, you can drink to much water and die. you can drink to much liquor,to much of anything will hurt you. so use the brain and spirit God gave you, have balance in your life.

Answer 7

Hemlock and belladonna are also natural drugs. I don't think they are too good for you either. :)

In order to make a lot of information easier to handle, people try to make generalizations. One of the commonly held "generalizations" is that if something is natural, it is good for you. A lot of things that are natural are actually good for you, but you can't take a rule of thumb and expect it to always be true.

Answer 8
