Is our herb really multiple times more potent than 70s ganj?

besides, increased strength means less needs to be smoked = better lung health

The only information I can give you on this topic is personal accounts. My friend likes to pick up a lot of bud at once, so his room tends to reak. His mother, unhappy with this, decides to raid his room one day. When he gets home, she asks him, what the fuck is on this and why does it smell so good ? Apparently, according to her, the weed has gotten much more potent. Also, I feel like the bud from the 60's and 70's was mostly regs and today we've evolved into better growing techniques and new strains, which are obviously better than regs since it costs more and (for me at least) gets you way higher.

When the media claims that the cannabis is 20x or even 30x stronger, it's just sensational propaganda. Thc can't be over 100 %, so if it was roughly 12 percent in the 60's, 10x more potent, so 10 x 12 = 120 = over 100% =/

Strains are different, some are more potent then others. I'm sure gorwers in the 60's could grow very potent strains. However, i believe with the advancing technology and strain crosses and licensed medical cannabis, it is more potent on a regular basis then it would've been in the past.

We got pretty stoned on the Colombian and Mexican mersh back in the 70's but when Acapulco Gold or Panama Red got into our bowls we really got stoned because it was grown with great care.
Good ole "Thai Stick" would give any of todays properly grown indoor weed a run for it's money when it comes to getting high.
But I gotta say that the weed I smoke today in general is stronger than the weed I smoked in the 70s:stoned:

I recall the Acapulco gold we used to get back in them days.....I'd put that up against any strain grown today. There's just more good shit around these days with a greater variety.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Bingo!!!
