I love it. Instead of using portion control like filling smaller bowls, smaller joints, or one-hitter pipes, everyone needs to change.
Talk about entitlement.

For me it means it's easier to smoke too much accidentally. If I'm alone that's fine I guess but socially it's a problem. I prefer gummies or drinks now.
Know what's really fucking annoying? People whose whole personality revolves around weed.
You talking to me?
Not at all, Smokey McBongwater.
It's almost like it was illegal to do any research on cross breeding strains for potency for a long time.
Sorry our science got better while cannabis was prohibited over some racial bs for 80+ years.
The same story with psychedelic research, the promising results of the years leading up to prohibition were terminated from one day to the next.
We know that these substances are the only medication that is efficacious for treatment resistant depression and indicated for many other disorders.
The problem, as ever, is conservatives making choices they don't understand for everyone else.
The stuff I'm getting on Ontario ain't strong enough. Where can I find this super weed????
West Coast USA
Always been the spot...I remember when I left the west coast hitchhiking my first time and got to the Midwest and saw my first bag of shwag like pressed brick weed with seeds...oof it was a shock to say the least
If you can't handle your weed it's a skill issue.
It's really not. Most strains you get, even ones claiming to be landrace strains ARE NO LONG what they claim to be.
Most stains are hybrids, focusing on high THC and because of this, they don't work on as wide a spectrum of receptors.
You, and all weed users should be worried about the homogenization of weed strains. It comes from commercialization and Capitalism. Capitalism aims for fast growth and high THC claims, rather than quality of the character or purity of heritage. It's not good, because we lose out on less well studied effects, and weed that works with specific states and conditions.
You're being scammed out of the variety of highs your parents and ancestors had access to. We need to protect the landrace stains against Capitalism and the homogenization and false advertising of Capitalism is doing.
I'm pretty strongly anti-capitalist and have talked many times about how commodification is ruining cannabis. Saying that today weed is worse because it's stronger is asinine though. It sounds like the ramblings of someone that got way too high with too little tolerance and wants to ruin it for everyone.
Nobody said you can't have 1billion stoner scoville units if you want it. The issue is that its increasingly the only option. Some people want lower THC weed, for any number of reasons.
The bleeding and hybridization programs aimed at high THC and fast growth is exactly what's damaging to traditional strains purity.
I heard it on a podcast from a guy who just made a show interviewing farmers, and it's one thing a lot of them said. Dudes a comedian, Billy Wayne Davis, and it was just at the end of a Behind The Bastards episode.
Canadian here. Yeah this is such bullshit.
I’m not a heavy smoker, I can still get 15%ish weed easy. It’s the same quality that I was getting pre-legalization and costs less than half of what I was paying before.
Have at it super stoners, but I still got shit to do.
Do any of these journalists realize you can just smoke less?
Potent weed is better for you, because you have to inhale less plant matter for the same effect.
If I have to smoke a whole blunt of 15% weed to get high I am doing way more damage than a single hit of 35% weed from a bong.
The issue is that it's not the same high.
Right, you don't get that nice carbon monoxide head buzz
Agree to disagree, especially if you tried the synthetic shit back before the analog law came into effect (don't try the stuff that bypasses the laws; you will have a bad time). It made THC feel like coffee, and permanently wrecked my tolerance. It's been 10 years and I still need 500mg+ of pure THC distillate to feel anything. I need stronger weed.
And those “legal” xHC vape pens just don’t do it for me. Feels way different - not in the good way, though.
What you need is to pause your consumption for at least a couple of weeks.
Tolerance you need to build up, but you can also build it down
I would but I have a job and can't sleep without it. I've been a chronic insomniac my entire life. I literally never had a good night's sleep before I discover the wonders of cannabis indica in my 20s.
Maybe during a vacation?
Bastards always trying to see "how far can we take this thing?", always "chasing that demon". The same as with spicy food, once they got their hands on ghost peppers, scotch bonnets and moruga scorpions, doing hybrids, looking to break the 2 million Scoville Units barrier and above... for some reason that's beyond my comprehension.
This is good, IMO. People don't have to smoke as much, so less damage is done to their lungs. Vapes, edibles, and concentrates that are not combusted are probably even less damaging.
Don't do serial vodka shots if you don't want to get drunk in a hurry. Don't smoke a bunch of 30% weed if you don't want to get way too high.
The point they're trying to make is that it's pretty fucking hard finding anything below 20% these days.
Yep. When I used to smoke I could ENJOY a whole joint. If I still smoked I doubt I could do a single hit without tapping out.
Isn't it better to smoke less? Think about how much less tar you are inhaling by getting higher off less puffs
Eh part of being a smoker is enjoying the act of smoking. I very much miss the old potencies and cannot handle the new stuff in any amount.
At my local weed store this afternoon, they had a special: 2 cent joints. 16.5%. They also have a grandma tier that's just lower concentrations and CBD heavy strains. It sucks that apparently isn't universal.

Yeah I mean just this is a utopia in most places
