Comment on Sagan, you look high.

this isnt exactly true. (my instinct is to say it’s completely false but i could be wrong!) in many states, it’s medical marijuana that is >20% THC and the cheap public stuff is unregulated below that amount. so you have people getting a bogus medical card, buying up 30% strands, and smoking an ounce a week and going into psychosis. source: drug counselor
just guessing here, but I’d think it’s getting perpetuated, as people expect or are used to the potent stuff.
Also not sure if the price is adjusted to strength, but I’d also suspect that people would buy stronger stuff and use less of it, so it lasts longer
(pure speculation on my end)
I’m sure many do but unfortunately i haven’t met or heard about any of it… whether it’s in the world or on r/trees or wherever. People rolling up giant blunts, etc. it’s crazy the way people overindulge! they say it’s spiritual and then binge on it… it’s like downing an entire bottle of communion wine lol
I was taught alcohol consumption where I grew up the same way. Consume as much as possible.
It’s lame.

It’s mainly just a talking point to get weed money out of the black market.
