From what I can tell all this talk of stronger weed is mostly bullshit hype meant to be used as propaganda in the "war on drugs". One of the primary sources I've heard it from is in DEA press releases and in popular media outlets... and we all know how accurate both those sources are. I even watched a foxnews story about a grow bust in Florida, and they interviewed a DEA agent who said "This isn't the marijuana we grew up with... this is 10 times strong... this stuff will kill you." :wtf: Foxnews didn't even fact check his words or clarify the story in any way (like mentioning there is not one documented death from cannabis overdose... ever).

I believe Northern Lights was first bread in the 1920's. Weed is no stronger today then it ever has been. However, stronger weed might be just be more common nowadays. I won't deny that. And it seems pretty obvious why. No longer do you have to risk revealing your identity by purchasing a book to learn about growing. You can just go online and all the info is there... you can even order seeds! So more and more people know how to get a hold of quality seeds and grow sensimilla. It isn't that we've managed to create stronger plants, its just that more people have access to the information needed to grow good weed.

Anyone who thinks higher quality marijuana is somehow more dangerous then lower quality marijuana was probably too stupid to get a hold of a decent bag of bud 20 years ago and is still too stupid to think for themselves for even a split second. God help them.

jsn9333 Reviewed by jsn9333 on . Is there a difference? I have heard numerous people say that the bud nowadays is blah blah times stronger than it was 40-50 years ago. Are there any older members out there that can shed some light on this? People I know, and even just on The Daily Show, talk about it being like grass clippings. I have been victim to a shitty bag of shake in my younger days, don't get me wrong :jointsmile:... but there is a difference between all bud being crap, and a lot of ignorant people getting ripped the hell off. :stoned: I Rating: 5
