how long has Skunk/Chronic/high grade/ potent shit existed?

[kracks]

you know how everyone says the weed is much more powerful these days...well i was wondering when it all changed from ditch weed to skunk? is this a retarded question?:stoned:

[dryst]

years and years of the professional hortoculturalist breeding and cross breeding the most potent, and slowly guiding the mutation of the plant to make it stronger :D

but where does it stop... the futures bright

It shall never stop! As humans we're too greedy, we all want: faster, stronger, cheaper, longer lasting etc. You know the drill!
I believe there were talks in the UK about whether to reclassify stronger strains of mj if its above a certain percentage of THC. As of yet I don't think any new laws have been passed and hopefully they won't, coz ya can't beat a bit of high grade skunk!

Peace

how would they even attempt to regulate this??? the pigs cant even get to grips with enforcing the current cannabis laws (which is a good thing) so makeing things more complicated would strain there little brains

Indeed, I think that's why there hasn't been any progress on this. Too difficult to control. I've read that alot of imported weed in the 60's was around 3% THC content, now with hydro, new technology etc most seized cannabis in the UK is grown here and has very levels of THC, sometimes know to be as high as 30%.:D Bring that shiiiiit on!:rasta:

i dont think its a good thing if THC levels have risen,

that just fund the mental health link even more.

also i doubt levels are around 30% maybe in amsterdam.

just my 2cents :P

[newbieb]

i think it potent weed came when they started growing sinsemilla around the 1970s

The thc levels haven't risen that much, that's just government propaganda.

[orangeman]

It never changed. It was just all types of marijuana just like theres all types of good and bad cars and houses. Some strains still fuckin suck ass and some strains were always potent. Just years of crossbreading and skillful activities of serious growers brought us more potent strains which probably have some of the same "good weed" that was the shit in the '70's.

[dryst]

wow u guys are very poorly educated...

u know why it was less than 1% in the 60s?...cause they didnt smoke the bud, they smoked the leaves...and while yes due to muatation over the past 40 odd years and breeders doing their thing to breed super thc wielding plants, government propagnda say thc lvl are 30%....i wish dude...its more like 8% or 9%....

[orangeman]

wow u guys are very poorly educated...

Am I one of those very poorly educated people that tried to give my explanation? :p

[dryst]

orangeman :D where u been i havent seen u on in a while

[Skink]

well I was here in the 70's and Thai Stick and Hawaiian were the shit... Chronic today IMO is no better... I've had Jamaican schwag back in the day that would wipe the ass of some chronic today...

[make it legal]

my uncle told me he would smoke like 5 j's to get high. if i smoked 5 now i would be gone

[Cooler Then Jesus]

yeah, my dad has had the same supplier for 34 years, and he says the pot from him has never really changed, but one day, when i saw some of it, it was way schwagg brown, not even buds. "but i smoked it"

[robert42]

lmao ^

[dryst]

hook ur dad up with some dankness man...christ...

[Reefer Rogue]

The higher thc content the better :)

[dryst]

The higher thc content the better :)

lol ya thats already been established...

[LIP]

As far as rising THC levels in Skunk are concerned its actually a good thing, and even the police realise this, i think, or at least i hope. Technically it'd mean you'd have to smoke less to get stoned.

[jamstigator]

There were potent strains in the 60s and 70s, just like there are today. The thing is, most people didn't have access to the good shit back then, but with the advent of seed suppliers on a global stage, now virtually anyone can get access to good strains, so the percentage of the pot in circulation that is very high in quality has increased over the years. The strains themselves aren't massively better than the best of the 60s or 70s, it's just that more people have easy access to good genetics now.
