Though I am only an amateur horticulturist I both agree and disagree with this statement. Mother nature provides all of the necessary ingredients for plant life to exist, and even thrive in some cases, she allowed cannabis to evolve into the plant it is today, but Mother nature aint got shit on me. I create the perfect photosynthetic acceleration chamber, I create an environment that is perfectly suited to a single type of plant, I don't have to balance an entire ecosystem, and that means that I can adjust every single variable to suit the optimum growth conditions of said plant. Simply stated; I grow better, more potent and flavorful marijuana than mother nature ever could and the reason is that I will not be killing billions of plant and animal species who are dependent on a certain light, or water or nutrient cycles to exist. In my basement I am god, I am mother nature, giver of life and harvester of primo smoke. There are many, many things that simply do not exist in nature, and just because these conditions do not naturally exist does not mean that they are not beneficial to the plant in question. Consider the science of hydroponics, is that natural? Absolutely not, but does it produce results that soil alone cannot? Yes.
