It do be strong as fuck tho.
Even flower is more potent than it was in the 70's. It's been widely cultivated specifically for higher THC. I remember when someone bred a 30% THC concentration strain was a big deal when I was still subscribed to High Times in the late 90's/early 2000's. Now 35% THC is pretty common in cheap weed at a dispensary.
35%? For real? I never see anything higher than 22%ish.
I have heard of some places fudging the numbers because a lot of people just buy whatever has the highest THC%.
I'm sure it is getting stronger, because when there's money to be made, nature, it, uh, finds a way.
But this pastor was talking like a first timer could die by hitting a 90% vape. Total nonsense.
I would say that it is stronger.
I used to get trashy Mexican dirt weed as a teenager in a state that did not approve of it and apparently all of the heat of transport and terrible conditions and time between harvesting and actually making it to the consumer dramatically decreased the amount of THC and other turpenes in the weed.
I could smoke half a joint and be a decent amount of buzzed and enjoy my time with my friends.
Now I can take like accidentally too large of a single puff and be blitzed out of my mind for like six fucking hours.
Of course, my tolerance has gone down dramatically because I do not frequently consume, but even with that this stuff is super strong in my opinion.
I miss those days. 😂 Up until a few years ago, I rarely smoked, but I had friends who smoked daily. Of course, when I was hanging out with them I would partake, and just like you said, I'd take one hit and be good for hours.
Takes a lot more than that now, but I quit drinking and lost a lot of weight, and spend less money.
Seriously Id buy 5-10%
