Consider...a proper diet, with essential minerals, and compounds, keeps the body in a healthy state. Able to fend off both disease as well as wear and tear.

Consider, the human body has cannabinoid receptors in both the brain and throughout the central nervous system. Actual, tailored made receptors...that are present for one purpose and one purpose only. Cannabinoids, don't just happen to stick to human cells...they've their own welcome mat in all of us.

Consider...any compound or substance with a natural fit to human physiology, does the body good.

Leading me to wonder...is nature's finest a true drug? Or a nutritional substance the body renders into keeping itself fit and healthy?

I was gonna say the same thing, isnt that why drugs do what they do, bind to certain receptors and therefore create the effect?

Hey, I have nicotinic receptors too! Does that mean cigarettes are like vitamins?

The body doesn't have receptors for cannabis or opiods - it has these receptors for chemical messengers that it produces internally. No external compounds necessary. The receptors are named after the external chemicals because the use of these compounds (that mimic the body's own endorphins or endocannabinoids) made scientists look for how and where they have their effect in the human body.

Yes you could although opiods are only bad when abused just as many things considered nutritional can also be bad when abused. For example a number of the vitamins and minerals essential to healthy functioning of the body have levels that are toxic and cause harm if those levels are reached.

Just because something can be abused doesn't automatically make it bad.
