    That’s not really that accurate. The article explicitly says that much of the waste is caused by growers who overproduced low quality weed, when most of the market is focused on really high potency cannabis.

        There was a giggle quality to that old nineties brick weed that the modern stuff just doesn’t have.

        The experience went from, “that stain in the carpet is hilarious. Who threw my burrito against the wall?” to, “the cosmic, like, existence, is, whoa, did I think that? I can’t find my face.”

        Modern stuff is so potent that I can’t stay conscious on even the smallest of hits. Great for sleep aid, useless for doing anything.

        Sometimes I just wanna laugh at Ren and Stimpy while I’ve got a pile of cheeseburgers in a feed bag strapped around my neck, you know?

          Helps to mix with CBD at whatever ratio you may need. A good mellow CBD like Charlotte’s Angel is nice.

          Edibles, particularly gummies. I get a couple oz and make my own oil. Then use that to make my own gummies. You can really dial in how much you want/need if you use gummy molds (i.e. 2.5 bears = chill; 5= moon; 10=fucking Pluto, Andromeda, I don’t know…what the fuck is happening?)

          Shit also GREATLY extends your weed as well. I went from smoking 2oz over like 4 months, the 2oz lasting a whole year because gummies are more potent. It also helps your lungs and doesn’t make you feel like shit afterwards. Veeeery clean highs.
