And almonds are an abundant nut that can kill you unless it is processed in a treatment plant before consuption. Whats your point. Abudundant doesnt mean good, friend.
It doesnt surprise me that you'd be an advocate with the name Ebonic Plague. Perhaps you should change that name to, Demonic Plague, friend?
can someone else confirm this almond story?

Stop being lazy and inform yourself friend.
As a result of U.S. federal law, California raw almonds must be heated to 150° F. In order to offer you an almond butter that has not been heated at all, we also make this new wild almond butter with Wild harvested certified organic almonds.
Certain Almonds are Highly Poisonous
DAVEN HISKEY MAY 13, 2012 0
You should know almonds come in two varieties, sweet and bitter, and the latter is highly poisonous when raw.
Bitter almonds contain glycoside amygdalin. When eaten, glycoside amygdalin will turn into prussic acid, a.k.a. hydrogen cyanide, which incidentally was the key ingredient to Zyklon B, the pesticide used in the Nazi gas chambers.
So if you’re walking out in the woods and spot and almond tree, don’t just naturally assume it’s safe to eat the almonds. It doesn’t take much hydrogen cyanide to kill you. Specifically, it only takes about 100-200 mg of cyanide, when eaten, to kill you within minutes (about .68 mg per pound of body weight). For reference, each raw bitter almond will produce about 4-9 mg of hydrogen cyanide. So a few handfuls of raw bitter almonds are enough to kill you quite swiftly and lesser amounts may cause you other serious health issues such as kidney failure.
Interestingly, people who can smell cyanide (about 40% of humans can detect an odor when smelling cyanide, for others it’s odorless) say that it smells a bit like almonds.
Processed bitter almonds though can safely be eaten as all the hydrogen cyanide is leached out during the heating process. Due to their toxicity before being processed, in the United States it is illegal to sell bitter almonds that are unrefined.
Apple seeds are just as poisonous as bitter almonds. Go here to find out more about this and why cyanide is poisonous, in terms of what’s going on in your body after you ingest it: Apple Seeds Contain Cyanide
that's not why they're pasteurized though. we don't eat 'bitter' almonds. the issue was people getting salmonella, and that comes from bacteria on the almonds, not cyanide in them

Please dont eat a raw almond off a tree. Your thinking is dangerous.

You didnt think of how many peoples lives that vote potentially ruined. Please dont be proud of yourself.
Yes, think of all those tobacco lobbyists and CEOs of corporations that profit from the prison-industrial complex and its associated slave labor who will lose money and won't be able to exploit people anymore. How noble of you to want to save them.

Yes instead of that, we'll be exploited by hospitals as these friends die slow painful deaths from the ultimate seizure of this industry by tabacco companies.
The demonic, like a bug in a jar, no matter where you go........there you are.

weed isnt causing any deaths. i was about to write off this post as your typical "thats demonic friend" trolling garbage, but youre wrong. legalizing weed isnt going to ruin anyones life.
We dropped the ball in Cali big time, 2010 might have been our best chance
I still don't understand how that failed
