there are a myriad substances in the animal and vegetal world that mimic the function of elements of our neural system. the fact that there are endocannabinoids in the human body is enough reason not to fuck with them with external ingestions, just like it's better to exercise and generate your own endorphins than to consume opiates.

First, yes endorphins imply that human evolution and morphine are interconnected. what makes more sense, that human brains evolved and produced by coincidence neurochemicals, that are nearly identical to other naturally occurring opiates, that work in a complicated neurological system controlling emotion and physical pain, or that that human during the process of evolution, came in contact with these naturally occurring opiates which, contact over time with these opiates, evolved their neurochemistry? It’s not like I made this up, I don’t necessarily believe in evolution the way it is presently explained...
secondly, I believe you are ignorant to the importance of the endocannaninoid system. its function in the body is threefold:
moderate pain supression, mood regulation, and the most important, triggering immuno-responses to cancer cell growth.
