Depends what you mean by "massive" - last time I looked, percentages as low as 13% were being legally sold.
It is comparable to only being able to buy hard, distilled, alcohol. Some people prefer wine and beer to whiskey.
If there's a demand, the market will respond - again, it's only been a few years.
it is reasonable to assume that 40% THC might be harmful.
No, it's not - hard liquor consumed in responsible quantities is not alarmingly harmful.
Also, I wonder if the pot growers and producers have gone on record as stating that the massive amounts of THC, in the product that they sell, is harmless.
I have encountered no such statements - and I strongly doubt they've been made.
Plus, the producers are using nasty chemicals (fertilizers, etc.) to increase their yields. Requires a hazmat suit to apply the chemicals. That stuff is being ingested too.
I doubt they're using anything not also used on some other crops.
naturally grown pot with (<1% THC).
That's called rope - it will give you a headache long before a high.
I wonder if customers know that the amount of THC in legal pot is at potentially harmful levels. Anyway, I predict that doctors in the future will conclude that too much THC is harmful and all of the so called health benefits are overwhelmed by the massive amounts of the drug THC. Hindsight will be 20/20 and those of us will be saying “I told you so.”
Hey, I smoked the “rope” and it was sufficient to get a very good high. Scary to think that modern legal weed is massively stronger. I feel sorry for the users because the don't know.
