Wait ...

... what?

[BenLurkin]

Give it away free at the mosques.

OMG! Drugs could lead to brain damage and mental health issues????!!!!

They should immediately spend a billion dollars of tax revenue to study this shocking potential!

[kaehurowing]

Yep, we get these psychotic marijuana users on the streets here—usually you can smell them from 50 feet away but they can be extremely violent plus they are so stoned they wander out across traffic.

[KC_Lion]

For your interest.

‘The increase of high-potency cannabis on the streets poses a significant hazard to users’ mental health, and reduces their ability to choose more benign types,’

That's what prohibitions always do: increase potency in order to increase portability and hide-ability. Same thing during alcohol Prohibition, when the supply swung toward hard liquior.

Garbage. The author has no idea what she is talking about. All pot is sinsemilla unless it’s ditch weed. Sinsemilla simply means it is from a female plant that wasn’t pollinated. That’s how you always grow pot commercially.

[dainbramaged]

14 percent THC is kid stuff, really. Indica buds sporting 25-30 percent THC content go for 30-40 dollars an eighth ounce at the local bud shop in these parts.

[Tailback]

Good grief, the absolute stupidity of journalists. Bunch of click whores.

Sinsemilla means “without seeds”. It is the buds of the female cannabis plant that was not allowed to be fertilized by the pollen of a male cannabis plant. This allows all the plants focus to be on flower or “bud” production instead of seed production.

Skunk, or more appropriately Skunk #1 is an old stabilized strain created by Dutch marijuana growers back in the 1970’s or 80’s. It’s been used as a strain since then to breed with other strains to get the desired results of the grower.

I went through a 6 month phase after I got out of the Army. Then I had to get a job. Haven’t touched the stuff since 1994. At one point prior to 2008, I was in the random drug screening pool for 4 different government entities. My employer, national guard, US Coast Guard (Merchant Mariner’s license) and DOT (commercial truck drivers license).

Interesting the CBD to THC ratio issue link to toxicity.

[steve86]

The concentrates available around here often test in the low 80s (percent of THC) according to state testing labs. I’m told that a single puff/toke is sometimes more than enough for a novice user (depending on other characteristics of the strain). Some of the strains are over 20% in the raw flower (not concentrate) form.

[TigersEye]

If cannabis causes you mental health problems you already had mental health problems.

[Chuckster]

14% THC? Lightweights.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Dang. So much for legalization. If you legalize it, you’ll have to cut the crap out of it with inert substances to keep the using population from becoming deranged.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Don’t worry, it’s harmless and probably better than eating Tide Pods or bath salts.

[kingu]

The marijana intentionally increased the hallucinogenic content in the weed they sell, fostering it on an unsuspecting public. A class action lawsuit should be filed against this practice...

Oh, look, the anti-smoking mafia is yet again too stoned to bother going after this.

[Garth Tater]

"the powerful drug placed Britain’s 2.1 million cannabis users at risk of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, psychosis, delusions and hallucinations."

So what? They'll fit right in with the rest of the delusional progs over there.

[Mariner]

This is amusing sensationalism and some folks on FR are ignorant enough to fall for it.

99% of weed produced in America in the last 30 years is sinsemilla.

And the average top shelf pot in the store runs 18-20% THC.

Why is it the MILLIONS now smoking weed aren’t dead or in the funny farm with such SEVERE numbers as that!?!?!?!?!

[TheStickman]

What a hilarious “article”.
