– I read an article about the dangers of high THC weed. It interviewed a few people affected by high THC weed. Now a few people are not enough to conclude that today’s potent weed is dangerous
– I won’t go Reefer Madness on you. I haven’t seen that movie, which was released in 1936. I want to watch it. I will give you my review of that movie on this pod
– Back to the article, the most convincing thing I found was that weed was not as strong as it was in the past. From the ’60s to the ’80s, the THC in weed was less than 2%. In the ’90s, it was 4%
– Which I think is true. I started smoking weed in the ‘90s, and it was known, at the time, that you didn’t get high until the 3rd time you smoked it
– Now, it averages about 17% THC. That is a huge jump
– I don’t think high THC weed is good for you from an evolutionary perspective. If weed was mainly used for celebratory purposes and mostly low THC, then maybe that is what it is supposed to be
– It makes me think that I am glad that I quit weed
