Thats the point being made.....it hasn't gotten more potent. It's just that cultivation techniques have gotten more refined and allowed a greater ratio of the pot sold to be of high quality. In the distant past there were still very potent strains of bud, but people didn't have such ready access to them due to poor cultivation techniques. As I said before....most growers did not apply good horticulture techiniques to their grows since they were usually grown out of the modernized countries and were grown just as cash crops. If in doubt ask some old timers about the Jamaican Lambsbread that use to be around in the early eighties. Shit would knock you on your ass if you were lucky to get it. Also, do you see the dates that alot of the orginal strains like Afghani, skink #1 etc originated? They were like around in the seventies. Through crossbreeding, and selective breeding we have gotten more stabalized strains, but genetics does not change that fast that all of a sudden those strains are a 1000 x more potent now.
