I was just thinking about evolution in general and it leads me to wonder about the evolution of marijuana. I ask this because I think about how the teeth of different animals develop over thousands of years in response to diet. I think about how that plant that flowers every 10 years smells like dead, rotting bodies. All of these developments in all life on this planet have occurred for some reason or the other.
So with that in mind, what do you guys think is the reason marijuana started producing THC? Was it a defensive response like the bright colors of a poisonous toad (you know what I mean lol)? I simply couldn't think of a good reason as to what benefits the plant got out of producing THC. Is it like some weird mutation that simply stuck?
Anyway, I can't think of it. It's one of those questions I prefer to chalk up to God but I've never liked going that route. Anyway, any ideas?
