that was actually pretty interesting, but i'm curious about the methodology used in that driving impairment test...not doubting the results, just curious.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing it. I think that many properties of marijuana and its effects on the brain are not yet known to us. But its medicinal properties have long been known to our ancestors. Now it is widely used in the treatment of many diseases, including the brain. I read a study that some nootropics are being developed with cannabis. The body's cannabinoid system is as much of a mystery as the human brain. People have only looked behind the scenes a little bit, and by researching these issues, we may learn to use the full potential of the brain in the near future.
Pretty much kinda just like how with depression they throw ssris at the problem despite it recently been proven that serotonin and depression arent linked as much as we thought and despite them not knowing the full mechanism of action of the ssris to even begin with it is like you said mate we got more to learn than what we know when it comes to the human brain and everything that goes along with it

Interesting, but kind of brings it in to question when there are quite afew cuttings around from the late 80s and 90s that are highly respected for their potency and effects. Is it really that weed is getting stronger or good growers can operate in some areas more freely and have their products more easily tested. I remember in Europe(think near Germany or Russia) in from 90s to 2000s weed was being seized hitting 35%-40%, same in Australia. So it kind of throws the study off a bit.
Is it actually lots of stuff is being reversed and feminised causing certain traits to double stack like percived potency with little regard for other traits that could be the issue as these types have flooded the market for years and are heavily incorporated into breeding(just to clarify im not saying that is the issue but in testing all variables need to be looked at). I dont think science fully knows all the cannabinoids yet and how everything equates to what the human body perceives as potency. The only really instrument right now that can measure that is the human body.

I think its mainly cos knowledge and equipment has improved i agree obviously selection plays some part but potency is capped by what genes you have in the first place its never gonna be higher than what those genetics can produce in a perfect environment i call bs for the most part on the claim its just increased more in modern times man has been with this plant so damn long already plus thc aint everything its just one part of what makes the magic as well its like that is the fuel the rest of the cannabinoids terps thiols fatty acids and everything else is the ones driving

I thought THC can only hit if lucky on good day 25% high. How can that be. Hash 65%, concentrate dabs and distillate 80 to 92% off subject, just asking you just cause you seem to know your stuff.

The testing methods for thc are different than they were in the 80's/90s too. It's now a business, and the lab that gives you the best results will ultimately be what gets printed on the labels for the customers to see. It's mostly marketing imo. Higher thc % moves product better.
Weed isn't any strong than it's ever been, but it's far easier for the average person to get consistently good dope these days. 80's/90's were very hit or miss in terms of flower quality back then.

I can believe thc content into the 30s anything claimed over 35% i really question ive even seen some try and claim upto 42%thc well i wouldnt believe it unless i saw it from multiple tests from multiple labs so thats a nah and even to get the top end of that takes good genetics the right pheno and a good environment i think alot of labs these days inflate there numbers tbh plus thc isnt so important its everything working together and the effects that matter
Definitely just more consistent for sure plus theres more knowledge available to your average grower too

It's just this stupid thing that just happened here in the states in California, this twenty something old girl stabbed and killed a guy literally over 100 times. She's blaming it's from just two bong hits she took and her lawyer said it caused temporary insanity disorder. Judge agreed and gave two years probation no jail. Now all these idiots who no nothing of cannabis saying it's because back in 1970 it was 5% now people are smoking weed that's 80%. Then starts saying and they want to federal legalize with this stuff. Can't be saying this crap on real TV. Obviously had nothing to do with two bong hits. Crazy

If they’d apply the same logic to alcohol they’d realize how easily their position falls apart.
Drink, smoke responsibly. Just remember, there’s no warning label for idiots lol.

Wow, I wonder how they proved in court the cannabis caused it ? Or could it be the defense lawyer took advantage of how still uneducated people are on cannabis and all the propaganda put out for years and years saying it makes you mad. Bet it wasn't the first time she smoked it, and I guess she never attacked anyone before (or has she). An I wonder were the knife suddenly came from into her hands. And now the girl is walking free, I think the judge is off his rocker.

Ah alcohol agreed by numerous reputable doctors that alcohol is the most destructive substance out of the other drugs. Not only is it self destructive it kills others more than any other substance being that opioids kill just consumer. Alcohol you can black out kill your self and whole family in car you dont even remember hitting. Also biggest leading cause to domestic violence.
Everyone needs to realize though WEED is not a medicine. It is actually a mild toxicant and has 2x carcinogenic build up of nicotine act increasing cancer chances. However it contains cbd that helps restore your cannabinoid receptors which are what help tell white blood cells what is good and bad where as Cancer confuses white blood cells to attack eachother. So CBD has its benefits but best thing you could do is take care of what you eat and nutrition intake, exercise, etc. also go see a medical professional as well. Weed is fucking awesome but in no way whatsoever a miracle medicine.

Also my bad another reply lol but yea man they did back in 1910-1920s times are not correct my bad but they put into effect prohibition which didnt work at all. Literally everyone was just buying it from mafia which grew their power to almost match the government's lol. But was the same issues we have today with it and not a single positive.
Its cos she a woman too they go well easy on women these days ime even when they shouldnt ime anyway fuck if it made you a killer id be in jail decades ago if anything its proly saved a few lifes in my case lol judge must be a fool blaming it on weed and he buying it
Its a hard drug i like a whisky but im not going to pretend its not it is i disagree with you saying cannabis isnt medicine to some it is tho bud like it or not
Anything over 30% I automatically assume is bs. Maybe your top cola of your best plant iyou sent to the lab of a 100+ plant commercial grow hit 31 or 32. But there is no way in hell the bag I'm getting is that high. Inflated lab numbers is well documented
I think some stuff can but its few and far between im with you i agree most numbers are inflated and yes most test the top of the bud only to skew the results further regardless to me the only true test is the smoke test numbers dont matter much when comes to effects ime
On a side note im sure certain batches of strong indian hash oil seized by customs tested at about 70 or 80% thc over here and that is in the 80s sure most would be testing in the 50s but even back then you got some batches stronger than others i remember reading a thing over in icmag i think it was a while ago when the subject of todays cannabis and potency came up so its worth remembering that
