RE: Naturally Infused Canna-Honey.
The honey bee does not process the actual cannabinoids or Thc. As for exploiting their work, if that is what you are reffering too, all bee farmers love bees, as dog lovers love dogs.
They take pride in them and many have very strict guidelines for how to handle them. Food is provided in the winter and a safe controlled shelter is available to them.
As far as I can see it's a mutual relationship between bees and people.
I do have a quick question for you... Would you consider bacteria as part of a food chain that could be exploited but should not be?
No the love between a farm and bee or dog is not any different then a farmer saying they love the cow or pig or chicken they smack around and then send to slaughter.
Do bee farmer kill the bee no but they still exploit the bee. No animal's or insect is here for us to exploit for any reason.
Bacteria These organisms are all fine to consume. The reasoning behind this is that these things lack nervous systems and thus are almost certainly not sentient (the ability to suffer or experience pain) in any way. They're pretty much in the same league as plants really.

Plants may not experience pain, but they are concious to the environment around them in more ways then just photosynthesis. They communicate not only among themselves but with animals as well.

Please excuse my forwardness, I don't wish to be offensive, but rather honest in our open dialoge.
I find that reasoning to be limited by knowledge that we hold on our hands. We learn so much everyday, and much of what we thought we knew, turns out to be entirely wrong.
I think there are things that may have yet to be discovered based on probability alone. I am excited by what we discover.
However, I think by not having a nervous system that does not make them unaware. I find it only reasonable to assume that all living organisms react to harmful inflictions based on ones subconscious will to survive.
Our "nervous system" is our specified layout for the transfer of data. Pain is only a description of our sensors transferring data to a motherboard. Not all organisms are built the same but all do respond to inflictions and almost every species on the world known so far communicates. Just because we don't understand their languages doesn't mean we can't see that it exists.
In fact here is another great article on the communication that occurs between bacteria.

To communicate could suggest consiousness in all reality. Which would mean that, as I utilize a honey bee, you utilize beneficial bacteria that process the salts that feed our plants.
I presume that based on the idea that consiousness is the basis for the description of life. At least that is the argument for my description of life for why I support pro choice.
