It's Official... Marijuana is 114 times less deadly than

You always bring up this nonsense. The reefer was plenty good back in the 60s and early 70s if you were in the right area. Like next to an Air Force Base. Those guys were bringing it in by the ton from southeast Asia. The GI-imported thai stick was as good as any of today's stuff.

"The average potency of pot has more than tripled in the past two decades, according to testing done for the federal government. This comes just over a year after Colorado and Washington legalized the drug and as many other states consider making it legal for medical or recreational use.

Scientists determine potency by measuring levels of THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive ingredient that gives marijuana its “high.” And data from the University of Mississippi’s Potency Monitoring program found that the average potency of marijuana has jumped from 3.4 percent THC in 1993 to 12.3 percent THC in 2012. Scientists at the lab say they’ve seen samples as high as 36 percent.

This month’s “High Times” magazine, with a cover promoting “The Strongest Strains on Earth,” claims to have analyzed 15 strains of pot with potencies ranging between 25 to 28 percent THC. Marijuana near that strength can be bought at many legal retail shops and medical dispensaries across the U.S....."

I still don't get why people that support legalization, keep comparing pot to alcohol, when the affect of THC is more like what you feel when you have sleep apnea or when a sugar high wears off. No reason pot should not be legal.

We're not talking about your parent's THC they smoked in the 60s-70s, or even sh*t smoked in the 90s..

You can only get "so" stoned and the effects of even high quality weed is still less than booze. Plus, once it's legalized and more research is completed it can be sold by THC level. You really should stop posting here, you're looking silly.

You just fall to sleep sooner if the THC level is higher.
