Meanings of elements

PLANTS and HAPPY
…or: EMERGING SHAFTS and RELIEF
…or: PLANTS for WOOD CONSPICUOUSLY SPURTING IN ALL DIRECTIONS

Related glyph (﨔) tells the story, and not coincidentally also uses the same Unicode page as 藥. That glyph as 'woodies, grasping a godsend' describes the rapid rise of businesses offering service providers with no-longer-integrated feet for short-term rentals, which subsequently caused the rapid spread of infections (among other effects on society). Hence, a need for MEDICINE.「Plants, emerging shafts」with「emissions in all directions」of「conspicuous schmutz」from「woody, or screwing emissions」describes the relentless dripping of gonorrhea and other disease requiring some sort of treatment as grasping a godsend, and not simply semen ejaculations that would not need medicine.
Based upon herbal remedies,「plants」that make one「happy」(or, happy again) are MEDICINES, HERBS. Formerly, elements as「plants profound and sticky, stinky conspicuous, hemp」(藥) may have been referring to the many「whitish, fine, fiber-like」structures covering a mature cannabis flower and which any cannabis user can tell you quite obviously means「happy, ease, comfort, relief, pleasure, joy, fun, bliss, musical.」Time-tested over many millennia,「plants」and「mature cannabis flowertops」can make humans「happy」—even laugh out loud. That said, some scholars argue this glyph refers to unripe female flower clusters of the mulberry tree, which are reputedly a bit toxic and hallucinogenic if eaten and with some nasty side effects:「Although humans may consume ripe mulberry fruit, ingestion of unripe fruit can result in stomach upset, stimulation of the nervous system and hallucinations.」

Doesn't sound like much fun, bliss, happiness, ease, comfort or pleasure. Nevertheless,「In traditional Chinese medicine, mulberry has a long history of therapeutic use and almost all the parts of the plant are used in some way or the other to treat a variety of health conditions.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
