Yes. I'm not surprised, to be honest. There is so much propoganda on this subject that most people are completely unaware of this plant's historical significance.

I apologize about the appeal to ridicule statement, your initial reply was unclear as to what you were implying.

I'll link some wikipedia articles to point you in the general direction, but do your own research.

I'd like someone to point out how this isn't true.
