I am done with anti-medicine nuts who are like “God gave us all we need in nature” yup he sure did. wtf do you think scientists use to make their medicines? where do you think they got all those chemicals. they didn’t summon them from the void. we haven’t outsourced to alien planets. everything came from this earth. we just tweaked them into something more effective. taking a long walk in the woods and chewing on plants never made me feel less like dying but taking prozac sure fucking did.

when people are like “medicine has all those NASTY CHEMICALS” it makes me genuinely concerned that they dont know herbalism is literally those same ‘nasty’ chemicals, just less precise/concentrated/helpful
