Weed has gotten several times stronger over the past 50 years. What are your thoughts?

One guy even was brazen enough to smoke what was left of a joint out the fire exit door [the tutors used to dissappear for long periods of time] he was caught ,joint seized but nothing came of it as the college was worried about the impact it might have on them

Man we use to be fearless dumb smoking - Smoked a full blunt at "Dawn of the Dead" theatre full of ppl, skipping one day we ended up in an empty church on campus smoking (That time someone walked in and we just walked out as if nothing happened, use to smoke a joint every time I was on the chairlift unless the folks behind were in uniforms, --- Worst of all the damn Secret Service got us at OUR WOOD SPOT; apparently bush was touching down in a helicopter across the street from where 'the woodspot' was. -----BTW all "no harm no foul" --- "You kids get out of here" type situations if confronted at all --- once smoking in the shileigh? warmed hut halfway down the hill we got shook down for a joint "Give me all the pot you have" --- This is it. "Sure it is get the hell out of here"

I did not use to be great at identifying hash either -- here are the stories I've been dying to tell kids and you aren't exactly kids so you may relate -- The waiting in strangers basements in Detroit and shit well under 18, being naive enough to tell them "Nah you don't try anything we have your house as collateral" (Just some wow moments in there)

knew a girl that insisted on making a bong in ceramics in HS -- of course they seen that shit before she got caught (as warned). That counselor that snitched her out ended up with no windows on his house the next day. (or so is local legend...)

Someone also stole they logo, mowed the flowers and gassed where they grow, broke the principles window out. I see both sides of this frankly -- that counselor was a dick though I promise that; didn't even get his insurance money I guess bitched about it for awhile.

The college is worried (Fck them) with all (if any) due respect.

The community would lose it's shit if they found out there was some pot smoking going on at college? Surprised they don't have a BS cannabis growing degree program yet (Ours got one and it worries me that ppl with actual knowledge will no longer be allowed on the field when/if this degree becomes a qualification. As only real idiots seem to take it lol.
 
I grew up in a grim area ,training centres were notorious for drugs,it wasn't uncommon for other trainees to fall asleep during class and the tutor just left them be all the while their employer was paying the trainee their wages .Good Times though .we used to take buckets at lunch time ,that's a glass bottle with the bottom knocked out then put inside a 2 litre plastic Coke bottle with water,a tinfoil gause on top then burn it remove gause then breath in copious amounts of hash all at once .mad times .the water pulled down the smoke while lifting the glass bottle then you just sunk it .First time you'd cough and be sick after that it was sweet
 
^ You remind me Alot of me -- for a bit the HS (It traveled like a damn carnival: true story) was about a block away from my house and I would have a 3.8 liter (Gallon I think not to dicksize really) and 10 little gbong piles lined up. Lunch 10 gbongs and back.

When they finally got a building it was kitty corner from another buddies house and I'd roll up an 1 1/4'th and wed do four shots of brandy and chase each one with an annexia; than this crazy fucker would bring the bottle to school and hide it in the desk for days at a time. (They still have the black desks with the hollow spot that like a drawer should go? Someone who been to HS recently)

we all shared the same you can walk around smoking a joint as long as you can swallow it if they pull up on you theory too. Got a lot of double takes in a small town.

Yeh I smoked even before I hit high school .it's all me and my buddies ever thought about, once I was a little older like 16 I could get it on tap lol .one time me and my mate burned a full score of hash in butter then splitt it into yoghurts .it was fun for 20 minutes then we both had to go to bed lol.seperate beds 🛌
 
^Same --- my pops was a prof at that university and grew some killer blueberry whiterhino (If I recall correctly) --- lol about 7th grade but not on a daily basis till about 8th. ( I have insomnia, always had and when I smoked I slept which was a damn godsend *still is*)

So eventually the house gets raided (Damn snitches; wasn't even selling some kid broke in) and in about 9th grade I gotta start finding connects going from primo hydro to brown brick and now paying an amount an 8th grader couldn't swing without making some money. It was all we thought about too --- in our friend group we knew what everyone was getting paid which day and keeping tabs of who threw in on pot pretty viciously tbh.

In one of the Cheech and chong albums there is a giant paper (I think the one he is seen smokin dog shit outta but not sure) at any rate we had a get together where we filled it with 1/4 lb, started with 10 ppl, 3 finished. One was my gf at the time (She lived with me and had nowhere to go), the other ended up shooting himself in the head --- Still was awesome lol.
 
Yeah I hate it. It's basically impossible to find weed that doesn't give me panic attacks. 30% THC is just unnecessary for flower. Just get oil at that point. I've basically given up on weed. Everything is a hybrid so its impossible to find indicas and all of the weed gives me anxiety. Sometimes I'll pick some up if it's less than 10% THC and at least a 1:1 THC/CBD ratio, although I prefer 1:2 THC/CBD
 
Cannabis was never meant to be used at the strengths and ratios that are popular today. It’s not a miracle drug with no harm. Too much THC is genuinely no good.
 
For factual reason's such as 42% increase of stroke. Of course that is smoking it (If I recall the study correctly).

Any other factual reasons?

Cannabis isnt actually any stronger today on average. Quality control today is far better though which is partially why some weed may test hgher today. You dont have dealers scraping up al the kief for themselves after they sell you weed thats already busted up. You also dont get shitty hash anymore made from butane. do not miss the good ol days at all when it comes to weed and hash

While concentrates like shatter and such are certainly stronger weed is pretty much the same. While there are some strains now that are in the 30% range that is not the norm. I had a few of these 30% strains and i was very unimpressed. Also THC is not everything when it comes to how strong weed is. Ive had strains like golden pineapple that where only about 15% and where way better then any 30% weed.

Landrace strans like Durban poison, red congo, Malawi and Acacapulco gold always existed and all of them are in the 25% thc range and the African landrace strans are also high in thcv
 
^ Hmm I would tend to disagree with you. (Other than the part marijuana is more dangerous I kinda tend to believe less smoke inhaled is better) I remember in the early 2000's 23% was the record high THC in a lab in alaska matanuska aka alaskan thunderfuck.

I keep hearing of these magical strains that are better than dispensary weed but everytime I actually run up against one I find myself unimpressed and in an awkward spot I either gotta pretend I'm amazed or hurt someones feelings with what should be a compliment. "Damn fine weed; stacks up against the dispo" So how much you want --- shit man gotta call me on that!

THCV hey that is of some relevance -- what is the average amount of thcv% and what does it look like potency and binding wise compared to THC? Are in such #'s in existence?

I think weed is pretty much the same now as it used to be. Back in the 90's i used to get white rhino, white widow and northern lights which where all in the 20% plus thc range. All those strans are still popular today actually. Landrace sativas have also always been around and so have landrace indicas.

Im not sure how high the THCV content is. It's hard to get info on that. I love the strains high in THCV though red congo, durban poison and Malawi are the best weed strains in my opinion. Pineapple purps reportedly has the highest THCV content but thats really hard to get. Ive never even seen the seeds for sale anywhere.

THCV is actually a stimulant and helps weight loss and may also help diabetes.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again. In the day, even going pretty far back in the day, good strong weed was available. There was also lot's of commercial brown and/or regs for the "great unwashed" going out to the bars drinking and having a joint or two. That was the norm... commercial pot. Probably where this myth came from. It was what casual smokers usually smoked. Good pot wasn't around all the time and the potheads had to search and stock up when it was available.

Now, you can get good pot (potent, anyway) pretty much all the time. It's not even hard to come by in non-legal states.

So, yeah, pot is stronger on average. But saying "the pot of today is way stronger than anything y'all OG's had in the day" just ain't true.
There's also some uber strong pot around now but it's not the norm. And, you can also get extracts which are freaking strong. (Back in the day, I made my own hash oil, though.)
How many people really pay for the 30% pot. They likely just dab at that point.

All that said, just to pick a more "quintessential" example for lack of a better word. I would pick some Jamaican Lamb's Bread over about any dispensary pot nowadays. It was likely only maybe 15% THC, but the high was so clear headed, euphoric, psychedelic and up. You'd pay premium prices for a light bag and there was surely stronger stuff, but Lamb's Bread was highly regarded.

Sleepy headed pot ain't necessarily stronger pot. People think there's no difference between Indica and Sativa because it all has Indica in it now. Cannabis americanis var. dispo

Lotta cheap edibles around now. Gotta use up the trim, maybe. Anyway, that's kinda cool.

Damn you hit a heartstring there. My pops was growing a blueberry white rhino hybrid of some sorts in the mid late 90s and it was fire --- but I had NOTHING to compare it to until we got raided and I had to start buying weed as a HS'er ---- I remember being particularly offended when one friend who I use to be very generous with told me he could find blueberry but 60$ per eigth -- ma'fucker!

Do you have any citations that they were above 20% in the 90's. (Obviously we never sent any in for testing.) I just remember 23% being the tippity top THC content into the early 2000's -- I would love to see some citation that proves me wrong

Pineapple purps I think I have seen -- durban poison as well. Ooh stimulant that is bad news for me -- but not for all.

I pay for the 30% pot it isn't a lot more expensive than the 20% (If any) -- But I also grab extracts so fair enough. --- Veganic weed was kind of different did feel a bit smoother - not stronger though.
 
As someone who doesn't smoke regularly I wish I could get something that doesn't get me unbelievably high after only just a few puffs :ROFLMAO:. When I'm in a blunt rotation I can never take more than a few puffs :(
 
As a grower who started in the mid 1980's my experience is that the genetics have improved but the lion's share of the improvement was not as much genetic as the knowledge of growing the plants to allow them to express their ability to produce higher potency. Commercial cannabis was grown the same way corn is to a large extent. The cannabis community shared with each other to develop growing techniques that allow them (the plants) to thrive, where previous to that time males were not culled and the plants were not cultivated to the extent they are now.

I dont have the lab tests or anything but those strains today are all above 20% thc

Blueberry white rhino cross? That sounds awesome. Blueberry and white rhino are such good strains. White rhino is one of my fav strains and so is blueberry
