There have been 60 years of selective breeding and genetic engineering aimed at making the plants more potent and engineering the high producing Cannabinoids for greater psychoactive and psychedelic effects. If you have ever seen a modern pot plant they are really amazing.
They are literally designer drug plants so loaded with THC that they are dripping.
The plants are loaded with novel engineered high potency strains of Cannabinoids that affect the body in ways much different than the Maui Wowie and Acapulco Gold so users are getting much higher doses of much more potent variants of THC that affect the body in novel ways.
Agree. Yet in the 90’s there was what was called ‘kind bud’-Hydroponically grown cannabis that was exceptionally strong. None of friends indulging in this for years suffered a heart attack in their 20’s. I know this is just ancedotal.
On average 3-4 times higher THC
Few things more exaggerated than thc potency of weed except penis girth
Impartial assays I’ve trusted consider 25-33 super high
Most is 16-24 honestly deduced
1980 sense or Jamaican was 8-12 average
Now edibles and particularly concentrates are as high as possible
Live resin concentrate is 90%
One lung full is oven baked stone that last
But cheefs can even acclimate to that trust me
I’ve had to leave a study office clouded with that shit folks ripping 8-10 hits in a row
Booze addicts conversely get sloshed on less and less as the condition worsens over the years
Pot is a strange intoxicant I’m ambivalent about it
But like psychedelics I give cautionary advice
Don’t go post toastie on it and couch surf your best years away
