I'm looking for 28%-30%... already have 18-19%.. not hard to obtain.

NPR & CNN

So stupid. The only danger with high THC cannabis is through combining it with ignorance, law enforcement or both. The more THC, the fewer terpenes and other cannabinoids. The less entourage you have, the less enjoyable it becomes.

Nothing wrong with 28% THC if it's what works for you. Some of us have much higher tolerances to psychosis than others.

Come visit me, end of October...

Potent? I just tried MAC and GMO for first time. If these are truly the best weeds in the country, America has been truly forgoting what it means to be fuct up on dro. I'd rather smoke Glue.. None of this poly hybrid hybrid stuff is "potent". The marketing behind if is potent. "More thc = more high says your government weeds specialist. Glue you to the couch mayne"

“Based on the advice at a dispensary, David began using a variety of weed with 56.5% THC and says it only "exacerbated the nerve pain." After experimenting with a few other strains, he says, what worked for him was one with low (0.9%) THC, which eased his nerve pain.”

Lol, ill take some of that 56.5% variety. Lol. Im assuming that was probably some concentrate product and not variety of strain with 56%.
Anyhow, tokin on this chem101 with close to 30% , no psychosis to report, but damn its hard to spell rhe simplest words. Lol.

Well that's the only explanation for today's high potency/nothing effect weed that I've ever seen offered up, but it makes sense.

I've been smoking the documented 20%THC stuff from dispensaries that just takes the edge off for 1/2 hr and not much more but vividly remember that 4% no-name Mexican weed that sent you to the moon and back for 2 1/2 hrs. or longer.

 

[White Beard]

Another nail in the coffin of the THC distraction?

We can only hope! Sad to see this this particular line of bullshit being aired on NPR

 

[shaggyballs]

This is just a scam to limit the strength of cannabis.
Like 3.2 beer.

They are trying to impose limits on THC everywher these days.
FLA. was the last state I heard to try this.
They gotta protect us from this new demon weed...LOL

I only vape organic rosin, I’ve never had it tested but I am sure it’s up in the 50-60% thc, been smoking it for years. Before that it was the strongest hash I could make. I have been poked, prodded, had cameras in my heart, up my butt, they have drawn enough blood to satisfy a few vampires. The only thing they can find is high blood pressure which is controlled, and neuropathy. I am 65 have smoked or vaped cannabis for 50 years and have no ill effects, I would gladly take any cognitive test they want, I don’t have any ill effects from high potency Cannabis...

I cannot stand NPR news anymore. Used to listen to them every morning, but they've become DC news just like every other station now. Used to be all these news agencies had foreign offices and reporters exploring stories all over the world, not anymore. The solar system revolves around dumb things like whatever our divisive representatives think is a good offhand idea this week just because they don't know shit about dick. I feel like they pander to politics all the time.

The 1/2 hour high is from chopping early, another reason the effects are greatly reduced. Prohibition is still impacting cultivation heavily, making it a no-brainer for the ethically challenged to chop early.

 

[St. Phatty]

Sure it's more potent. = Progress.

 

[bigAl25]

What I don't understand, and these assholes need to contact me about their concern about high THC cannabis, a cannabis consumer just needs to smoke less of their pipe, vape or joint if it's that good. I've been doing this for over 50 fucking years. Look at Willie Nelson, he's handled it very well. Are the people who write this shit that fucking dumb? Why yes they are.

 

[Fuel]

Regulations always output stupid things ... thinking we are clones made by the same factory. It's like plant's limitations, it have no sense on a massive scale.



Between the stoner forced to constantly smoke weak weed day and night, and the one than is only needing 4-5 cones a day of strong stuff ... i will choose the last to bet on his life insurance ^^



I don't think than they are stupid, i think than they want to produce grey areas to maintain leverages on people if needed. fck them

 

[RandyCalifornia]

They want to maintain the DRUG SCARE instead of letting it be just a plant.

Npr, living up to its acronym, National Propaganda Radio. I still try to listen to it on occasion to hear about the bullshit they spew to my left leaning comrades. Nothing but the neolib n neocon consensus on most issues of importance, especially foreign policy.

 

[yesum]

That reefer madness thing from the 30's was a joke, we know that now. The weed they have today? No joke, this is something to fear!
