Some argue that THC in cannabis actually works similarly because when herbivores regularly ingest it, they become lethargic and lazy, causing them struggle to survive in the world. Kinda like my roommate.

Ibotenic acid, muscarine, psilocybin, amanitin, muscimol, THC, caffeine - these all natural pesticides target bugs primarily. Which are the biggest threat. Sort of funny how it also affects people though
I thought it wasn’t generally psychoactive until heated?
But cannabis the needs heat to convert, it’s more likely it evolved with Human influence considering the years of overlapping land races tied to our trade routes
THCa in cannabis plants is unstable. It will slowly convert to THC as it dries even at room temperature.
But CBD does not need heat to convert.
I have a hypothesis that taking cannabis (and especially CBD) out of our food chain may be contributing to the increase¹ in prevalence of chronic pain.

When was cannabis ever in the human food chain?

THC comes in a plant in the THCa form. CBD comes in CBDa form.
Both are not bioactive by default in their natural form.

It's a phytochemical that degrades readily in sunlight, it's likely both a UV protectant and aversive.
That's, like, your opinion, man
your last sentence reminds me of my dorm roommate in college. very standard stoner who was constantly blazing and years later i've never known a lazier dude.
