Excessive pot use damages brain functions but I forget which one.

It only takes the smell of pot today vs.back in the 70s to know this ain’t your mama’s marijuana.

I don’t really know what kind of variety there is out there, but in terms of strength, I get the feeling that it is not a really wide range.

For alcohol:
Everclear (if you want it) 200 proof.
Some rum: 120 proof.
Wild Turkey whiskey: 101 proof.
Many rums or whiskey: 80 proof.
Kahlua: 40 proof.
Wine: much less
Beer: even less

Choose the strength you want — drink for taste only, if you like. Drink a little and drive just fine. Drink some more and decide you shouldn’t drive. Drink even more and pass out. You have options.

All I hear about cannabis is: “Whoa! This stuff is so strong! It wasn’t like this a few decades ago!!”

I don’t know what the companies are thinking, but they seem to want everyone on another planet rather than just mildly chill.

A friend’s 20 something grandson has marijuana induced schizophrenia from smoking it. I smell marijuana everywhere I go in CO. It hasn’t been a good thing for individuals or society. Even prior to my finding out about her grandson, I’ve changed my opinion on it.

If you grow your own, it is less powerful.

Dumbest “argument” against Marijuana that comes around now and then.

I've been smoking this potent stuff for over 4 decades. Those college students back in the day put their knowledge to work and improved the strains. Pretty good job!

In any case, again, this is just a moronic claim, that pot is too potent. Just goofy to put that out there.

Where is it written that thou musteth consumeth thy entire doobie wnen lit?

Consider that very simple question.

I have 99.8% THC extract sitting here next to some good flower. I puff on that on occasion, just a little piece on top of some flower.

One hit stuff. I feel fine for a long while, go off and get creative, and maybe come back later for another puff if I feel like it or maybe not. All up to me, and I'm certainly not driven to smoke it until I pass out and crap all over myself on a sidewalk somewhere in San Francisco.

Just a silly and pointless argument.

Re: "Too strong"

Why is this an issue?

If true, the solution is to take fewer hits, which makes marijuana less expensive.

Hopefully they find away to make pot that doesn’t smell as bad. It stinks up an entire neighborhood when someone smokes some

Drastic strengthening of the effects of marijuana is an inevitable result of the long banning of the drug. Prohibition converted the nation from being mostly a beer drinking population to whiskey because it is easier to smuggle in larger amounts of alcohol as high proof whiskey than as low prof beer. Marijuana, when I was a teenager was not particularly toxic. The concentration of THC has been increased by breeding many many fold. Much more can now be smuggled in a given volume and thus it is much more profitable. My dabbling went away when I realized that I was paranoid as hell after only a couple of hits from a joint being passed around. That stuff is now pure evil.

Pot, booze. To each his own. You play the game you pay the price and you are responsible for your outcomes.

For me, I stopped both because they steered me away from my Lord, they led me into places I should not go. Pot and alcohol both impair judgment and neither gave me anything I didn’t already have while sober.

You'll get no judgement from me of your behavior that is reserved for the Lord.

I used to smoke pot decades ago, but had to stop as I found myself going insane. Also gave up alcohol and other drugs. I have a seizure disorder and I am sure it is doubly good that I quit it all years ago.

I’ve delivered freight to a few of these marijuana processing facilities.

The SMELL is overwhelming. Like a herd of skunks spraying at the same time.

I guess if you work there you get used to it

I remember news reports that MJ was too strong fifty years ago. I have never tried it. Something about being in a situation where I no longer control may actions might be a reason.

It’s also too expensive. The dispensaries can’t compete w/ the local dealers. Not even close.

Can’t figure out if she’s stoned or hammered.

Marijuana Is Too Strong Now

Dried cannabis has increased from an average of 3% THC in the 1980s to around 15% today. Vaping THC concentrate can range from 40% to over 80% THC

When American businessmen drank they took over the world and chewed up the competition.

"Marijuana Is Too Strong Now"

My tolerance giggles at this headline and says NONSENS3.
