Opinion | It’s Time for America to Admit That It Has a Marijuana Problem

NYT realizes that legalized pot has led to a host of problems. Interestingly it equates “old” pot with a four percent THC content vs. today’ 60-80 on par with drinking whiskey and saying it’s still beer.

It only takes once or twice to figure out that it ain't old school home grown. After that too much is on you, just like drinking.

Reads like percentage but I've never seen thc that high. It said you could buy 90% thc now, I've never seen it and don't look for high percentage product. I want to know the effect and I can figure out the dose pretty easy.

Didn't take much reading to see it's trying to figure out a way to "help" people not abuse weed. We've abused every drug known to man and someone wants to implement more restrictions, higher taxes, more warning labels, etc to prevent people from abusing it. How has that worked with other substances? Higher taxes lead to a bigger black market, more warnings? Get real. Some people are going to abuse substances, hell you can't buy spray paint without getting id'd in some places now. Making it more difficult to get or raising prices ain't the answer, it's like banning "assault " rifles to stop killings, it don't work.

The BEST medical you can find (legal and otherwise) max's at 30. And that's rare. Most of the medical runs 15-20.

The strains which are grown the the northern part of California and bordering Oregon? Let's take a name you'll likely know; Grandaddy Kush. That came out about 25 years ago. It ranges between 17-27 depending on how, where, and who cultivated the crop. That's medical grade, according to his it is "defined."

Oh, it's bullshit if they are saying that's the percentage. Pure bullshit.

It's possible, don't misunderstand me. It's cooked down to liquid (makes the worst cough syrup you had as a kid taste like cotton candy) but that still requires an inactive ingredient.
