Natural substances can treat cancer, prolong life and trigger amazing hallucinations.
But although nature can make a remarkably wide variety of chemicals — far more than the best molecule-making robots — it does not always deliver them in bulk. Drug companies and medical researchers often turn to organic chemists when they need something that is too rare or too difficult to harvest from the wild.

The main reason nature produces these chemicals is that nature controls the balance of the system here on the planet..humans reproduce these chemicals in bulk for a Monetry profit and so de stabilise an existing balanced ecology...If people lived in balance with this system...then they would not need so many drugs to cure them of Twentieth century cultural defects..and so live in harmony within the system...
