I agree with your reasoning, but you assume that the outcome of the research on a given plant will very quickly lead to a total understanding of its ingredients and effects and that it will always be feasible to develop a technological process to deliver the same complex of ingredients in the form of a pill, neither of which has to be the case.
- Nursie 14y agoFor something to be interesting the outcome of research on a given plant should at the very least be that there is an effect to study, or it's not worthwhile. Nobody says "we don't understand how it works, therefore it doesn't work and we should throw it away".
