Maybe after 40 years of getting high you’ve developed a tolerance for weed that normal people don’t have, but its a simple fact that marijuana has gotten more potent over the years.

Legalizing that crap and letting teen aged kids jump off the THC high board is easily the dumbest idea neo-liberals ever came up with.

I would tend to disagree, but I'm only citing myself as an example, and I was smoking just as potent flower when I first started. Not always that potent, but roughly half the time just as potent as today.

Again, getting more potent is relative. Means little. Instead of us passing around a couple of doobies to get mellow, we just passed around 1, and didn't even have to finish it sometimes if it was just that good!

Legalizing makes it more convenient for adults. Criminalizing it made it attractive to teens and they had absolutely no problems getting it when it was illegal, and I know that fact personally. Until it was legalized, they were getting better flower than I could find!

Legalizing it just let the government finally get their cut because they cannot stop it in the first place. Regulating it may help keep it out of teens hands eventually, but got to get the tax man out of the way first to push it down the path they took Tobacco.

Yes this.

And I bet usage hasn't decreased proportionally to strength increase.

I couldn’t agree more. I can’t stand being around the stuff anymore. I helped my brother clean up some storm damage on his property last month. He took a pot break at the end, and I reeked of the stuff and had to throw my clothes into the wash immediately upon arriving home.
