> Its unfortunate receptors in the brain were named “nicotinic” or “cannabinoid”… Just imagine if the major categories of dopamine receptors were called “cocaine receptors”
>Our bodies have an entire system that uses similar compounds to those found in cannabis
Our bodies also have an entire system the uses opioids -- which is precisely why opioids are so risky.
It seems like cannabis must have been a domesticated crop that was shaped by humans for a long time before rewilding. The probability of a wild plant hitting the right chemical formula seems way too low. Probably started with something roughly adjacent and then humans took it from there. Weird that we have no idea who did it.

Sorry I thought the term was self explanatory. Like, the domesticated plant became reestablished in the wild.
