I have heard that weed from the 70s era only had ~2% THC where now at least dispensary grade can hit 20% to 25% THC. That could well be due to the drug war selecting for more powerful highs in smaller packages, but i would think that would also reduce the quantity needed to get the high you want.
I started smoking in the mid-80s. It’s true that what we would call “homegrown” wasn’t super potent, but it gave a nice mellow buzz. And yes, we’d often roll bigger spliffs with it. But you could get very potent weed if you had a good contact. Maybe not as potent as now but pretty potent.
Where I grew up, though, we all smoked hash. We’d use weed or tobacco to roll hash joints or just pipe it, etc.
It’s so wonderful to have made it to legalization. No stress when buying and having a choice of what to buy is really nice.
Exactly. I am hoping the era of mass inprisonment is coming to an end.
