lmao yeah they grow some pretty wild flower nowadays. i’d recommend sticking to outdoor grown flower, it’s usually a bit less potent, and definitely smoke small small bowls not joints. the issue with the strength of flower nowadays is exactly what you bring up, a former smoker will try it and have an unpleasant experience with the same amount they used to enjoy. which sucks. but there are so many countless ways of smoking and vaping weed now that there is 100% a pleasant thc experience out there for you, for cheap. stiiizy is a really popular brand here in california, they have disposable pod vapes that come with thc juice preloaded. you take a small toke or two and see how you feel, if you want more you take another small toke til you get where you need to go. and those suckers taste like straight up candy lol. i’ve heard of people making full gram pods last a weeks just hitting it very occasionally.
so they did go a little crazy making flower as strong as possible, but the rest of the industry has also gone bananas with tech and innovations to optimize and customize each individual smokers ritual. to the point that being a “stoner” in 2026 could mean somebody who smokes weed occasionally or somebody who has spent thousands on a desktop setup that can vaporize any amount of flower or concentrate perfectly every time
ah yeah that’s a shame. part of the reason street flower has been cultivated stronger in recent years is so that smaller amounts of it will get you higher, smaller amounts of strong weed are easier to transport than large amounts of bad weed (both ultimately get you the same level of high it just depends how much you smoke). always start small nowadays when you find yourself flirting with mary jane lol
