THC Content has Increased 5X in Cannabis Since 2000

[save the frogs]

Not sure if this applies to Thailand cannabis ... 

 

But a brain researcher warning about cannabis here ..

This brain researcher warns that daily use of cannabis or use of high potency cannabis can cause serious problems

Sometimes this Thai weed hits me like Acid or mushrooms.

As much as I tried before having bong after huge bong I could never get as high as on this current stuff.

 

They really have done an excellent job improving it so much.

Like forgetting where I put my keys.

Sometimes I walk to another room and by the time I get there I have forgotten why I did. 

Also I find it hard recognizing Thai people and where I know them from. They sort of all look the same anyway but after a puff I can’t remember who is who or even if I know them. Luckily I just give them a smile which works ok in the Land of Smiles.

It would be hard to pull it off in Russia

Like so many things, this too is being ruined by the overzealous user/grower. Where years ago you could smoke a joint, get a healthy fit of laughter, feel completely relaxed, and then enjoy a good meal and sleep, the stuff nowadays has been bred to such extremes that it completely knocks you out of this world. I can imagine this leads to many problems, putting the legitimacy of the substance under pressure, turning public opinion against it, and forcing governments to step in by enforcing stricter regulations or even a total ban.

Would never have thought that 😁 try explaining that to the users

[bamnutsak]

Incorrect, or at the very least inaccurate and uninformed.

 

Makes folks who repost this sort of fake research look very stoopid.

 

Cannabis, very generally speaking - and I refer to flower not extract-related products, which get up to 90% THC - has been in the 20% THC range for three or more decades.

 

And most folks just smoke less to achieve the same high.

 

I mean you don't drink the same amounts of spirits as wine or beer do you?

It's already been legalized, so not sure why any scientist would make up that THC content has increased and they are seeing higher incidents of szhizophrenia.

 

Maybe some users who have been smoking it for decades will adjust the amounts, but maybe new users have no point of comparison.

 

If it's fake research, then I do apologize. There's no way for me to know if it's fake or not.

All the genetic engineering has made it worse. It mostly just creates a cloudy mind now.

Maybe it's age, but I can remember it being just perfect for going to concerts and live bands... and then afterwards, 2am in some persons garage always with a sofa, black-lights, chilling, listening to tunes, drinking and playing cards.

 

Not a big "couch lock" fan.

You can find sativa-dominant strains which allow for more focus, energy, clear-headedness, and with lower THC content, 15% - 20 %.

 

And you can smoke less, I'd submit that makes it healthier as you are consuming less burned plant matter in your throat and lungs.

 

If I drink 2 pints of ale, that doesn't mean I'm going to drink two pints of wine, or two pints of vodka. After an experience or two we learn to regulate. Same same for cannabis.

This is a bit off-topic, but another post from the same Dr.

 

Should we be taking Psylicybin instead of smoking weed?

 

What's all that red and green?

Holy Cr*p.  I could have had an IQ of 180 instead of 125!  Gawd.  

Away, Away With Weed - Indeed, The Song Of Reefer Madness
(sung to The Song Of The Temperance Union)

We're marching, we're marching, our staunch little crew,
Against that green ganja, we know what to do.
No spliffs or no reefer, we stand up and shout,
It fries up your brain and it burns your cash out!

Away, away with weed - indeed,
With weed - indeed, with weed - indeed,
Away, away with weed - indeed,
The song of Reefer Madness!

We shun Mary Jane, like we shun ugly bugs,
One little puff turns a man to a slug!
Oh, picture the shame of a stoner’s sad fate,
Sprawled out on the couch with some chips on his plate!

Away, away with weed - indeed,
With weed - indeed, with weed - indeed,
Away, away with weed - indeed,
The song of Reefer Madness!

No bongs and no blunts, they just cloud up your mind,
They make you see visions of the silliest kind.
Oh, dodge that dank haze, it’s a devilish trap,
You’ll giggle, then stumble, and land in a nap!

Away, away with weed - indeed,
With weed - indeed, with weed - indeed,
Away, away with weed - indeed,
The song of Reefer Madness!

No kush and no chronic, they lead to despair,
Your morals will tumble, your soul left threadbare.
It drags you to ruin, that devilish green,
So join our crusade, keep your conscience serene!

Away, away with weed - indeed,
With weed - indeed, with weed - indeed,
Away, away with weed - indeed,
The song of Reefer Madness!

So rise up, good people, and fight the good fight,
No pot, no more toking, we’ll stand for what’s right!
No spliffs, no more reefer, no haze to consume,
With the Temperance Union, we’ll banish the fume!

Doubt there's anything in Thailand over 16%

 

If you look at the testing report it says 16% and 17% in two different tests, but the shop adds the two tests together and advertise it as 32%.

 

Nothing has changed except the marketing.

Certainly not the effect on me.

There is, but it's expensive. I come from California where weed has been legal medically and then recreationally since the '90's so I know what good weed is. I smoked some 600 baht a gram flower from a Pattaya dispensary, it was true 2 hit sh*t, must have been about 30% thc, so it's around if you want to pay for it.
