Several months back, when I told my sister that one of the reasons I’m planning on moving out of South Carolina is because where I’m moving to (Puerto Rico) has a medical weed program that I’m eligible for since I have Autism and ADHD, she told me that medical weed was laced with fentanyl.
It do be strong as fuck tho.
Even flower is more potent than it was in the 70’s. It’s been widely cultivated specifically for higher THC. I remember when someone bred a 30% THC concentration strain was a big deal when I was still subscribed to High Times in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Now 35% THC is pretty common in cheap weed at a dispensary.
35%? For real? I never see anything higher than 22%ish.
I have heard of some places fudging the numbers because a lot of people just buy whatever has the highest THC%.
I’m sure it is getting stronger, because when there’s money to be made, nature, it, uh, finds a way.
But this pastor was talking like a first timer could die by hitting a 90% vape. Total nonsense.
I would say that it is stronger.
I used to get trashy Mexican dirt weed as a teenager in a state that did not approve of it and apparently all of the heat of transport and terrible conditions and time between harvesting and actually making it to the consumer dramatically decreased the amount of THC and other turpenes in the weed.
I could smoke half a joint and be a decent amount of buzzed and enjoy my time with my friends.
Now I can take like accidentally too large of a single puff and be blitzed out of my mind for like six fucking hours.
Of course, my tolerance has gone down dramatically because I do not frequently consume, but even with that this stuff is super strong in my opinion.
Seems like your opinion on it is based around you not having a good contact back then. For example here in the UK I’ve never seen brick weed, the closest is Jamaican sess and that was very rare too.
Weed isn’t that much stronger, people just have better access to good weed and people know how to grow it better. I was smoking what would be considered top shelf today, almost 20 years ago.
The one thing that has changed a lot is genetic diversity in regards to terpene expressions.
Maybe, but at the same time there is a certain amount of strength I can tolerate and that I can enjoy and most of the stuff they sell today is well above that.
It’s not as fun for me to get incredibly stoned. I just want the occasional light buzz.
I miss those days. 😂 Up until a few years ago, I rarely smoked, but I had friends who smoked daily. Of course, when I was hanging out with them I would partake, and just like you said, I’d take one hit and be good for hours.
Takes a lot more than that now, but I quit drinking and lost a lot of weight, and spend less money.
Seriously Id buy 5-10%
