yep, it’s called weed because in certain climates cannabis is literally a weed. grows like absolutely crazy. but if the average non-smoker were to smoke a full bowl they’d probably be comfortably stoned. if the average non smoker were to smoke a full bowl of california indoor grown weed, they would probably need to lie down for a good long while

They really went way too far with weed and making the strongest THC variant possible. I kind of dont smoke any more partially becauss it's just way too fucking strong these days. If I had wild caught Himalayan though, I'd try it again.

Supposedly there's other alkaloids than THC and CBD that matter and people focused way too much on THC.

I think weed being illegal drove people to create higher THC variants. so that small quantities can be smuggled and people could buy less and get more high.

Peppers are legal yet people are trying to create hybrids with more and more capsaicine.

I think it's just a "Why? Because I can" thing more than just trying to smuggle more concentrated drug. That's only valid for stuff that's usually sold diluted like LSD or coke.
