And? What does that have to do with anything? Also semi-synthetic still falls into the non-natural category. Without man, they would not exist. At least not on earth that we've discovered.
Everything is natural, brah.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Yeah but I'm willing to bet you know what I'm talking about when I differentiate between natural and synthetic drugs. It feels different. You're right, I don't know much about pharmacology, but I can still tell the difference, so explain that for me. Psychosomatic? I don't think so. I think it has more to do with the way the drug plays with the neurotransmitters and which ones they do it to. Like CB and THC's high affinity for receptor sites that appear to be designed specifically for those molecules found on marijuana. I see synthetic drugs as molecules designed to fit a receptor, whereas naturally occurring drugs as molecules that already have receptor sites designed for them. Just a guess but I have no other explanation.
