4. Interesting indeed!
The argument makes a lot of sense.

Robert Graves had similar ideas. He thought that nectar and ambrosia were "intoxicant mushrooms".

"The "gods" for whom, in the myths, ambrosia and nectar were reserved, will have been sacred kings and queens of the pre-Classical era."

5. There were no drugs in those days. There were plants.
Nobody had gone into the chemistry lab -- like Big Pharma -- to create synthetic shit.

If they used anything, they used plants from nature.

10. Yes, because anything that emerges from the earth is safe to eat. Like lead, arsenic and magma. n/t

15. Looking past Reuters' bias
The intentional slant by Reuters is highly unprofessional and just what I've come to expect of the corporate media. However, there's more than one way to read the article.

1) Only liberals are crazy enough to vote for something like this.

2) Only liberals are willing to act to defend the Constitution.

Too bad for them that by inserting their own bias, they left the door open for interpretation number 2.
