For that to be true it has to be true that being a plant is sufficent evidence that something is safe to consume.
That is not the case, as there are clearly many plants that are not safe.
That's my point, it's a completely invalid argument regardless of what point you're trying to make.

If your objecting to the its a plant argument crowd the shouldnt you also be objecting to the whole concept that their needs to be a justification to make illegal.
The argument is entirely backwards. Anytime a freedom is being removed The burdan of proof should lie on the people taking away a freedom to prove it is harmful and not on the users to prove it is okay. The worst arguments by far are one the anti legalization side which are
Drugs are bad
And
Marijauna is a gateway drug
I would rather here plants are good as a generic argument than drugs are bad mmmkay
