  1. Look up and try kratom. You can get exactly the same feeling of morphine, I've replaced my T3 with it. Marijuana is also proven homeopathy. A lot a lot of homeopathy I'd bs, but there's no denying herbs affect the body dramatically.

  2. I understand that homeopathy requires dilution, my point is taking raw herbs with only small percentages of active ingredients produce dramatic effects, so it stands to reason that there are many herbs that can be diluted and still affect the body to a lesser degree. I apologize if that wasn't clear.

  3. jktomas alright let me make this clearer.... if THC is effective at 13% concentration naturally, a pure extract diluted 100 times will still affect the body measurably. I agree most homeopathy is bs but it's not entirely accurate to say it does nothing physiologically because it just depends on the strength of the active ingredient you're starting with. Like arsenic has been shown to significantly affect mice heart rates diluted over 1000 times. It's not enough to poison them but it's enough to affect the heart rate because of its potency. There are a great many examples of this from cyanide and nicotine to cocaine and poppy opiods, salvia, peyote etc etc etc. They all have empirical effects on the body in extremely low concentrations.  Hopefully that's clearer

  4. jktomas in other words their belief in how it works is irrelevant in cases where low concentrations actually do affect the body. homeopathy is predominantly hokey, but not entirely. it's just promoted as witchcraft, but that doesn't mean it's actually sorcery.
