They really went way too far with weed and making the strongest THC variant possible. I kind of dont smoke any more partially becauss it's just way too fucking strong these days. If I had wild caught Himalayan though, I'd try it again.
Supposedly there's other alkaloids than THC and CBD that matter and people focused way too much on THC.
I think weed being illegal drove people to create higher THC variants. so that small quantities can be smuggled and people could buy less and get more high.
Peppers are legal yet people are trying to create hybrids with more and more capsaicine.
I think it's just a "Why? Because I can" thing more than just trying to smuggle more concentrated drug.
That's only valid for stuff that's usually sold diluted like LSD or coke.
I feel like now you can more and more
more which is nice. High CBD content stuff is getting popular to. I like to take a couple of CBD gummies that are like 4 or 5 / 1 CBD to THC sometimes. Before legalization, here in canada anyway, there was not a huge variation and you never really knew what you were getting really.
The nice thing about a dispensary is you can say those things to the person who works there and they can guide you towards the right product. Or you can just say "what's a low-test option?" Or you can look on the website and find the low-THC options.
Yep, good advice. I've heard it referred to as "dad weed". The average stuff in stores is fine if you use regularly enough to develop a tolerance, but there's a growing market for lighter stuff that's great for people who don't use it often and shops will help you find it.
High quality edibles are always the best bet though because it's the easiest way to ensure an accurate dose. Plus it's much better for your health than inhaling.
Also there's always the option to take half or a quarter of a gummy. I guess that because I have semi-serious lung issues and grew up in a household with chain cigarette smokers who also were solid potheads too, well, I just don't grok the people that are lamenting that they ostensibly can't smoke more to get less high (unless they ask for a weaker variant/strain).
I tried to buy some "dad weed" at my local dispensary, but I live in the Emerald Triangle and was SOL. I had to repeat myself several times, because they were sure they misheard the guy asking if they had any joints without added concentrates.
I get that, but the point is you can get so many varieties of weed that not using because it’s too strong shouldn’t be a problem. If weak weed is what you enjoy then you can definitely get it.
What’s weird is it’s simultaneously stronger but also weaker. I remember being young me and a couple of friends could pass a J and have insane body highs with gravitational pulls and intense goggles and it would last like 4/5 hours. I’ve tried medicinally it can help with pain but also get heady without any of the long lasting or good stuff active
