of course its altered but manufacturers put on labels "natural" or "Organic" yet they have cross pollinated plants fruits and vegetables in them. same thing with different strains of weed. cross pollination also happens in nature, this isnt a recent man made thing. and i dont think it was stated it was the only naturally based drug in this thread at all. if it is please correct me but most of the weed grown is natural. it may have some nutrients added to the soil to improve overall health of the plant but whats so wrong about that? many things we consume on a daily basis are altered in some way. the milk you drink every day (assuming your not lactose intolerant) is pasteurised which alters the milk. yet people say drinking milk is natural. i dont get why you are making this point. i get the point but i dont know why your making it. thats all im tryin to say.
