Tend to agree. I go by smoke reports. I don't care what the listed THC level is, if a lot of people are swearing that a strain is fire, that's good enough for me.
Highest THC Content?

I got a 100 mesh section of stainless steel screen and created a system where I can strain the pot for the strong white powder. If you do this with mediocre weed, the resulting white/yellow powder can be really strong. One toke stuff that will knock your socks off. This is kind of like hash. So my point is you don't necessarily need super high potency pot. I had some Nirvana Blackjack which was kind of shitty pot. It just never turned into hard bud, just kind of tall and rangy with airy bud. I grew it out and instead of harvesting with scissors or a knife, I simply got a nice branch and scraped all the leaves and bud off with my hand, creating a huge pile. The resulting weed was not real strong, but it did have a real nice sativa high. But if I strained this same pot with the 100 mesh screen, the resulting white powder was super strong.

Exactly! See, most (if anyone at all) don't understand a few things. If you are looking for the affect you could look at the low THC content in White Rhino and watch on youtube the Greenhouse Seeds White Rhino video, and they will even get confused trying to explain that even tho it is low in THC content, it is the Cannabanoids in Synergy that make it way more powerful than Strains with a MUCH higher THC content. So, in fact you can get a 60% THC strain and feel what you would out of the best & correctly focused 20% THC Strain.
As far as Curing cancer and other diseases go... from what I understand the benefit (medicine) is THC alone, but I would be very curious to see what something less concentrated than what Rick Simpson uses to make his weed oil (but with stronger effects) would do in the healing territory.
I would be interested in him to test his White Widow against AK-47 oil and see if AK-47 does the brain tumor curing 10X more efficiently than WW because of the simple fact that the THC concentration does seem to bring blood and oxygen to the brain, but at the same time this could inflame the brain and further cause damage.
Anyways, my point is that the THC content is proven that it is not what gives you the exact effects you may be looking for. Depending on cannabanoids in synergy that are most active within the given THC is what is going to determine intensity. As far as me running my mouth about the oil (LOL!) I was merely explaining that there may be a point in searching for the very highest THC if fighting cancer, BUT it seems there has not been enough time to test strains against different diseases to see what strain would best suit you if you were in search for a cure, and going to turn it into oil.
I will admit, I look at high THC levels, but I also go to a medical mj site to see MMJ patient reviews on strains to get opinions, and see exactly what they help, medically. For Example: If you are looking for the highest THC content because you believe the higher the THC content the happier you will be, then you may end up with an extremely high THC plant that makes you feel extremely bluh, or maybe make your heart so racy that you want to run through the walls where you live, and just be freaked out. Its all about the quality and not the quantity. Just like weed quality/quantity comparison. If I can feel great & relaxed off of 1 to 3 pulls of AK-47, why would I want to buy Skywalker which the Kief wont even hardly give me a buzz? If it takes you 4X more hits to get where you want to be then you spent 4X times the money, or the amount of time and effort to grow those entire 4 plants that could be so strong as 1 X AK-47.
^^^That's not all fact about AK being stronger than a 25+% content plant. I have no experience. I just know I tried AK 8 years ago & was happy before I was half way inhaled. I have never to this day found a true 1 hitter quitter like that, but if someone else knows of some real 1 hitter quitters, please let me know. I HAVE to have that strong of medicine to battle what I am. The pain and other things are so bad that I normally never notice a high, and thats why I really need to go on only strong indicas, and non-racy Sativas.

I've just started getting curious about it as well, and it's medicinal benefits. You should see the youtube video when the guy from Barney's had 2 little stalks of Tangerine Dream in his hand, and he was so happy about the strain and positive that it would win the cup he attended, and it did.
It should do GREAT on the medicinal side, and I believe a 1 Meter tall plant producing up to 500Gr is good... I think that if the description is correct it would be very good to make into an oil for people fighting disease etc... It seems to not be too heart racy (by description), or too sleepy. So, someone could use it for treatment.

I find that unlikely. Link?
I've got trust issues with AN. Hard to believe as well.

WTH!! I'm a simple man but if I have a OZ of bud with a %25 THC content than I'm really looking at 7 grams of pure THC?
I can see why hash making is becoming so popular even for sticks and stems but it just don't seem plausible that somewhere along the line there will be buds that are HALF THC!! I'm almost afraid!!

They are not talking about 25% thc by volume. Just look at Deep Chunk, frosty as hell and only 15% thc on average. THC percentage relates to how much THC is in the resin not how much resin is on a plant.WTH!!

Thank You metalhead!! Now that makes sense and I can't believe I was thinking otherwise. Freakin brain fart.

exactly. My super frosty blackberry kush tested over 16%, my not-so frosty green crack tested 19%.

THC Bomb, didn't get it done in a lab or anything but quite confident it was well over 20%. Also has CBD up around the 4% mark so the stone is a real deep body buzz with a nice cerebral hit.

I was told a local Black Domina getting tested right now should range 25-28... or more.

I've never ever EVER seen a strain test higher than ~25%. I'd really like to see some proof that bud exists that tests at 27% or higher before I believe stuff like this.
I don't think people understand what 20%+ bud really is. It's not as common as people seem to think it is. It's mind blowing exceptional bud, not standard top shelf.

They are talking about thc by volume, or mass. Concentrates measure much higher. check this out. http://fullspectrumlabs.com/featured/

not sure if it was mentioned here , but herijuana is about 25% thc and will flat out knock ur ass out. Got mine from Sannies and if it isnt 25%, nothing is

25% Bud is extremely rare. Most people have never seen it. 18% bud will knock most people on their ass. It's entirely possible you had 25% bud, but who knows.
People who don't get their bud tested usually have no perspective on the topic. I've had some AK that I thought was the most epic bud on the planet. Everyone was drooling over it. Let all my friends try it, many of them who are heavy smokers all from NorCal said it was the best bud they've ever had. Tested at 19.45%.

When that company measures the levels they use a mass specrometer - gas chromatography which burns a sample and gives the levels by analyzing the gasses. The resin tests higher because there is no plant matter but they are not saying that 25 percent of the plant is THC. They are saying 25% of the gasses from the combustion is THC. That is just their method, there are others.

I still disagree! it is a percent of the weight of the sample.
from the lab:
Cannabinoid Profiling
Cannabinoid Profiling gives a quantitative analysis (% weight of sample) for the following cannabinoids:
CBD
CBN
THCV
CBC
THC
We will offer quantitative analysis of THCV, CBC, and CBG, and other minor cannabinoids as standards become available. Our fully validated High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method is the most accurate and comprehensive way to measure cannabinoids.
