Bodies use the same chemicals multiple uses

Many chemicals are used multiple times in multiple places to do multiple things in the body.

When we apply them from the outside

Side effects



When we apply a chemical from the outside it is almost

always a broad application that reaches most/ all the body. That means it can affect all the areas where it is normally produced and used by the body in a very targeted and controlled basis.

It makes a lot of sense that this leads to many (unintended) impacts that we often call side effects.

How do they work?

Many affect the digestive tract of insects and animals that may be using the plant as food.

Chemically mimicking the animal's naturally slowing neurotransmitters like opioids, serotonin, & gaba slows feeding.

Growth Mindset

Focus on the process = Satisfaction & reward from working & doing rather than a reward from completing.
