I don't want to take on or two hits then find out I'm in way over my head...leaving my heart racing (which I'm too old for now). I get the impression that only buds are sold, and not leaves...the later being what we use to smoke.

Is it no longer possible to get pot that is like it use to be?

all the stuff you hear in the media is bullshit, especially concerning drugs, people 'in the know' about what _ really happens in drugs _ don't get airtime or a chance to explain to people, skunk isn't _THAT_ much stronger. Maybe twice as strong, and only in some varieties.

The thing is the 'drug' hasn't got stronger. The quality of the import and the popularity of skunk and cannabis varieties is very different nowadays.

I could talk about this forever. I don't think you're as in over you're head as you thought anyway, and that can't be a bad thing :-)

Right?
