prepare them yourself so that you know what is in them. This isn't hard, I do it, make my own painkillers, healing potions and skin lotions. The same goes for food... I don't have to shop at scary places and I am rarely ill.

"Weed" just means unwanted plant. If it is a useful herb and someone is harvesting it as an herb it is no longer unwanted and thus not a weed anymore. If one grinds up an herb and the intention is to make a pill out of it the rice fills the need for a carrier and binder.
