When will they come for our plants? [View all]

I hope it is OK to post this in this forum, not sure where it should go but this came to my mind this morning.

I was looking up a beautiful plant I was not aware of while thinking of my gardens I can have now that all my dear goats have died.

At the bottom of the descriptions they usually tell you what they can be used for if you have a medicinal garden. It said at the end that this particular plant was used for something....and for causing abortions and it hit me. We have not seen anything like this yet but so many plants and combinations of plants would fall into this category.

I do not remember this being a part of our lives in the olden times when we were where we are now. I also do not remember so many people with gardens other than veggie gardens.

I know there are a lot of things more important maybe but to those of us who grow plants that can be used for medical needs this could be an issue. Has this come up anywhere?
