If you smoked weed in the 70s and think you know what cannabis does to the brain, you need to update your information. That was 3% THC. What's being sold today is 15-20% in flower and up to 90% in concentrates. That is not the same drug. It is not even close to the same drug. The conversation has to change.

Myth: “Weed is more potent today than any other point in history!” Wrong! The trippy, hallucinatory highs people remember from the 70’s/80’s/90’s were a result of the what I’ll call the Potency Bell Curve. Decades of Polyhybridization and inbreeding have left us with an uninteresting and commoditized gene pool. I’ll explain.. 5000 BC to 1960: landraces were dynamic and incredibly variational but wild and non-domesticated so inconsistent in potency/effect 1960-1995: hippies in Amsterdam and Mendo domesticate and hybridize these landraces directly brought back from Asia, Africa and South America. Without regulation or advanced equipment the main criteria is final effect. The golden age of cannabis is born. 1995-2026: legalization and regulation starting with medical in Cali brings testing and equipment. The mission for ever-higher thc and cbd dominates breeding. Most polyphenols and microcannabinoids are bred out of the plant in an effort to make it commercially appealing. Public is left thinking weed is more potent when the opposite is true. We must return to greatness!
