    It’s also easier to make than cannabis. Alcohol will ferment in nature, you literally don’t have to do anything to make (crappy) alcohol. Good luck banning that, we tried once, went even worse than the war on drugs.

      Marijuana grows in nature and you just need to dry it out and light it on fire.

        But you need a very specific plant, dry-it, and burn-it. Just let some fruit ripe and you’ll get alcohol. The ability to digest alcohol (rather than being poisoned) is one of the evolutionary advantage of some “great apes” including humans. It’s pretty great because it give us access to more food. Look how fruits into alcohol (wine, cider and more) is a great way to preserve them for the winter

        Kinda. IIRC, if it is fertilized it doesn’t really work as a drug.

        • Works fine as a drug if fertilized…

          To quote afroman:

          So roll, roll, roll my joint, pick out the seeds and stems

          Feelin’ high as hell, flyin’ through Palmdale, skatin’ on Dayton rims

          Back in the day most weed came with seeds. Doesn’t really change the THC content, just means you gotta pick them out before hand, hence sinsemilla, which is preferable, because it has denser buds, and no seeds.

      You are aware that Cannabis is a plant, and therefore naturally occurring, yes? It was literally on the planet for hundreds of millions of years before modern homosapiens.
