It's getting harder and harder to find the regular weed too. But the high thc stuff is too much and too expensive.
It got to the point with me, due to side effects, that I needed a tranquilizer to enjoy even a very small amount - so I pretty much stopped because it defeats the purpose. I don't know if my age has much to do with it, because younger people are getting the same side effects. I just know that this wasn't happening until the past five or ten years - and it became pretty much intolearable for me starting last year. I call these hybrid super-strong varieties "Frankenstein" strains.

Even years ago, few people smoked the strongest stuff all the time. For everyday use Columbian was fine, and before that Mexican or Jamaican. Skunk was a good-enough replacement for these, but that's hard to find now also - probably because the suppliers can't make as much on it. Since they can sell a fraction of the weight of the super-strong designer strains for the same amount of money, why bother to carry milder varieties?

I'd grow my own, indoors, but I have very old electrical wiring and not enough room in my place.
