All good, ‘Botany’ is the book I was thinking of anyway.

We are doing it all the time we may be aware of only a fraction of what we do

Plants probably dont think like us but they are aware even if that seems amazing

Telephatic?? that seems fantastic but these experiment say that plants pick up on our thoughts and intentions....

Harvard has done studies, as have many others, and the info is available in this database, which happens to be one of my alma matters (and it is a quality database).

It requires reading comprehension and novice search skills.

Denial is powerful.

LOL, you gave me a list of hundreds of studies from CalPoly's main data base, that have nothing to do with the topic on hand. Give me one study please...... Super lame dude

If that's true than potatoes secretly conquered Ireland. Lol, Rice rules Asia and corn controls America. I believe more corn is grown than cannabis worldwide everyone I know who doesn't smoke weed still eats corn, then we have vegans.

Of course cannabis is great, I just happen to eat more weight in corn.

This is a weird conversation. It's all about perception. I've been 'addicted' to both coke and heroin, but have beaten both so does the mean I was really addicted to them? There are physical elements to both the aforementioned substances, but through determination and dedication people overcome that shit so perhaps it's up to self control?

I don't believe anything has power over us, at least in the way those in the AA spectrum believe, however everything has an intelligence. And, as touched on in the 'Botany of Desire' (there's also a video documentary for those short on time), Cannabis has this intelligence, that's why it's still here, pretty much indispensable to us, and why some of us find it hard to not abuse it. Many plants have this, cannabis is just one of the only ones that's not socially accepted.

I'm not saying that people with abuse issues shouldn't find ways to help themselves, more that you shouldn't blame a living element that is simply trying to live for your own issues. We as humans can only really control ourselves, so maybe we should focus on that instead.

Just remember that without plants.....none of us would be here.

.....but without humans, plants still flourish.
