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

[lost weekend]

first time we smoked was out of a bamboo bong. some kinda skunk, as well... not 'headies' but not schwag either (bought it at a church).

we used to make smoking bowls out of soda cans, carrots, apples... definitely have done the waterfall/ gravity bong (called a "g.b." by my bro and bis buddies)... a bread bag version with no water... a hookah with a big wooden bowl and 4 hoses (i always had the stronger lungs muahahaha)... straight up just a rolled up chunk of aluminum foil (not recommended, the can is prolly worse though)...

my favorite is the apple cause it's all natural and bio degradeable... just sucked if the weed got all wet, but anyway...

if we're including bought pieces, best is a simple ten- dollar glass bowl, or a glass bong with an ash- catcher piece.

An irn bru glass bottle is the best and cheapest. It's 750 ml .fuck my first bucket I whiteied when i was 13 , but once you smoke every day I used to be able to sink 5 buckets in a row .with hash .no grass back then

And hash rules .I think

Fuck I miss good hash.im sick of the mind bending grass /engineered plants .I hark back to the fall of the Berlin wall. That was life

I don't smoke that often, so I don't mind it being stronger.
I proactively try to keep my tolerance low because it helps me keep it within a budget.
Another thing I used to do back when I used to drink was I would alternate between the two for budgeting reasonings.
Whenever my tolerance for one or the other would get too high I'd switch off.
Was actually pretty cost efficient.
Only problem is that eventually my tolerance would cap out for both and I'd have to deal with a boring 2 weeks to a month of sobriety to let myself settle back down again.

I typically only smoke in the Autumn - Winter.
Namely between September and Christmas.

My reasoning for that is work-related.
I'm taking an extended vacation time right now.
I'll go looking for a job again later into the new year, after the holiday seasons are over, and after I can pass a drug test again.

But yeah Autumn and Winter are just very sentimental to me, particularly for smoking and reconnecting with nature and my environment.
I live kind of close to the equator, sssooo that's why I favor the cooler months. It never snows here, but it at least cools down to more hospitable temperatures.

That's cool it snows here every year and I think if I've understood you autumn is the best time to go about your buissness, everything looks so natural, not to forget its a good harvest season for foraging lol

It's the most ideal time to be outside here, yeah.
I can smoke a bowl, shower, and go for a walk. ^_^

During the Summer it hits 38 C with 98% Humidity and still no rain.

The accessibility to stronger grass has significantly increased for the traditionally excluded population. But no it has not gotten stronger. When you roll wax you pretty much see a difference though.

That's hot .we get to 18 c and it's s heat wave .but on the flip side it will go down to minus 16 c.we are located somewhat near Braemar, which if I'm nit wrong is the hottest and coldest place in Scotland

My opinion is yes weed has gotten “stronger” in terms of THC% but how enjoyable the high actually is can be argued. Back in the ‘70’s we were seeing a lot more pure sativas than today and there were less hybrids more landrace strains. Some of the highs gotten from the ‘70’s bud are very hard to duplicarte today, one example is the infamous Thai sticks. Even some of the Santa Marta Colombians. THC% does no always coincide with a good enjoyable strong high. If you’ve never lived through the late ‘60’s- ‘70’s it could be easy to dismay my observations and that’s just what they are my personal observations.

I could be wrong and hope I am. Zsittlesz which is 1.5 years old, I saved bc I liked it. Stored in jar

It feels way less potent than it used to. Comparing it to black runtz, icc runtz, red runtz it’s so much less potent so stored in glass seems to do something where it loses stronger effects

From now on i dont think I’ll save it and just get rid of it by date, due to my experience

If you haven't smoked in a while and your tolerance is non-existent, pot can take you to fairyland. (I mean not smoked in at least a year.) Your thoughts last seconds before they move to another thought. It's almost like dreaming or a dissociative, a roller coaster. That's always been the case. If someone in the 70's hadn't smoked in years and you smoked Hawaiian with them, they would get the paranoids. Seen it happen many times. If I had good pot in the 70's and I knew someone hadn't smoked in years, I told them to take one small hit. I didn't want to turn them off to it.

I've smoked modern day pot and had it take me to the moon. If I get paranoid (usually only happens if I'm around people I don't know super well) I know to smoke a bunch more and fall asleep. Next day, I have a tolerance in place to make things more manageable

That's been with just "good pot" for the day. (around 20%?) Not the uber pot. And I don't like how sleepy most all the modern pot makes me.

Not heard that one before - what would Jesus say? Something like "I do hope that deal is a fair price for the quality and weight young man?" maybe

but we used to occasionally attend a psychedelic night in London held under a church, so you can guess what went down there

Never got into the multi-buckets, but we'd do similar with hot-knives of hash back in mid-80's, like 12-15 in a row. Had to be in a row for some reason the get the desired effect, which often culminated in sliding down the wall against which you were inevitably leaning at the time...bottle still in hand...

Fuck I miss good hash.im sick of the mind bending grass /engineered plants .I hark back to the fall of the Berlin wall. That was life

Ahh, there's been a veritable resurgence of high quality hashish in the uk these last years (I guess it's kinda scene-related, a little niche perhaps, from what I gather here anyway)

Yeh but it's who you know I think.most dealers will only have or be able to get bud.the first time I tried grass was wayback and it was exciting cos you could never get it ,hash ruled the waves ,now its turned full circle.i love the smell of hash but I'm getting sick of the smell of grass ,i find it sickly .dosnt stop me smoking it lol.but I miss hash ,squidgy black so so much

3-skinner crew

The kids thesedays (well, mine and their circles anyway) scoff and recoil in disgust at the 3-skinners preferring the single large thin skin. They do have a point though, their spliffs taste better as less paper. I struggle to make a single large skin blunt though sometimes, missing the 'balance' that the third 'lower' skin gives. If I'm on my own then I just use single small thin blue rizz

Also I haven't actually seen anyone make a spliff with tobacco in it for at least a decade now - I struggle to believe I used to do that for about 15 years before I saw the light, nasty!

Yeh but I think the art and ritual has been lost down the line.it used to be if you were in the presence of a total stoner he'd tell you to skin up just to test you lol
