I recently met a professional grower of marijuana. I really learned a lot about it.
Its something of a competitive arms race in the industry to breed varieties that yield much higher CBD and THC content.
He said the difference over the decades is comparable to the power of your first Atari Computer in 1980, vs. your MacBook today.
PLEASE! People learned from others, even way back then!
Thailand's Legendary Marijuana
The first Thai marijuana to reach the United States came in the 1960s via the Army Post Office. The difference between Thai marijuana and most Vietnamese and Cambodian cannabis, was the difference between bathtub corn whiskey and single malt scotch. In 1967, one amazed DEA agent to called it “the Cuban cigar of the marijuana world.”
“Who can forget the first strange-looking Thai Sticks a decade ago! Dense, seedless, stronger than a bull elephant. Years before sophisticated sinsemilla techniques were incorporated into the crop management of U.S. growers,” wrote High Times magazine, the journal of record for pot connoisseurs, “the Thais were, without effort, turning out a superior product.” What sold for $3 per kilo at the farm in Isan, easily fetched $4,000 a kilo in any city in the United States in the early 1970s.
By a certain threshold the question of potency becomes moot.
Just smoke or ingest more.
Of course Marijuana addled minds arent really equipped for intricate discernment
And that’s just how the Pusher Man likes it.
In retrospect I wish I’d never touched the stuff.
Ironically, the people so worked up about GMO don’t ever talk about the fact that modern marijuana has been heavily modified by GMO to be more powerful.
