    There's a whole region of Italy that's still disliked because they were the tax collectors for the Vatican.. "better a dead man in the house than a Marchigiano outside".

    If you want to get rid of spider mites, medicinal lavender, rosemary and mint extracts with a little surfactant, or neem extract work very well (although they do require multiple applications) and they are pretty much nontoxic, you could drink the stuff you're spraying.. though you might get a bit of a stomach ache. There are a lot of different natural ways to get rid of insect pests without harming the rest of the ecosystem (us included), they just require a bit more work than the spray and forget crap chemical companies sell.

    So the whole correlation between these attacks happening in places where revolutions have gone down, the abject poverty, the fact that bombs and other attacks mean that very few people can do lots of damage?

    Nothing they told me about drug use in DARE class was true.

    The medical use is actually fairly large, as an appetite stimulant for chemotherapy patients, as a general pain medicine and glaucoma help are not vanishingly small, not matter how much your puritan morals might want it to be so.

    There are many more active ingredients in Weed than just THC, which is why there are not huge amounts of synthetic derivatives, they are not easily extracted or synthesized, and their interactions are not all understood.

    I propose due to generalized ignorance of how science works that posters like petman will evolve to make stupider and stupider claims about what a theory should be able to do. People do predict that something will evolve, but knowing or predicting how nature and evolution will do so exactly is on the same order as picking the right numbers for a lottery, there are simply too many ways that something could evolve, that a latent gene could prove valuable, or that a mutation of any type could provide that edge necessary.
