    Marijuana grows in nature and you just need to dry it out and light it on fire.

      But you need a very specific plant, dry-it, and burn-it. Just let some fruit ripe and you’ll get alcohol. The ability to digest alcohol (rather than being poisoned) is one of the evolutionary advantage of some “great apes” including humans. It’s pretty great because it give us access to more food. Look how fruits into alcohol (wine, cider and more) is a great way to preserve them for the winter

        Don’t bother answering here, the THC crowd is downvoting everyone who says alcohol is easier to make. It feels like reddit to be honest.

          You can literally just grow a cannabis plant in your house right now. Buy a seed and let it grow. If you wanted to make alcohol it would be much more involved.

            You buy some fruits (or grow them in the garden) and ferment them… how is that more involved than growing a canabis plant and dry it?

      And hope there’s enough THC in there, because pollination basically ruins the THC content.

        Fertilization does not kill THC. Nobody wants to buy weed full of seeds. Seeds have weight. It’s similar to BBQ rubs. Take out the salt and see what they weigh. Salt is heavy and cheap.

        Works fine as a drug if fertilized…

        To quote afroman:

        So roll, roll, roll my joint, pick out the seeds and stems

        Feelin’ high as hell, flyin’ through Palmdale, skatin’ on Dayton rims

        Back in the day most weed came with seeds. Doesn’t really change the THC content, just means you gotta pick them out before hand, hence sinsemilla, which is preferable, because it has denser buds, and no seeds.
