Grandmas smoking weed for the first time...

36. Its clear 'they' want parents to think today's pot is going to get their kids 400x

More f'ed up than what the seemingly innocuous stuff they tried themselves in the 70's ... did.

While the concentration of THC has undoubtedly gone up dramatically, all this REALLY means is that you don't need to smoke nearly as much to get the same buzz. So, people now take 2 or 3 hits off the bong or atomizer, and they're good instead of needing to blow an entire J to their head like in the 'old days'.

Plus MJ has a distinct ceiling effect where smoking more doesn't really get you any 'more high' anyway, which is why one cannot 'OD' on it. You might get 'higher than the level of highness you enjoy', but its not going to actually put your life in jeopardy no matter much you smoke.

Which means that the higher thc concentration of today's MJ ... is not especially 'relevant'. It's a 'fear tactic'. People who don't know much about the stuff but DO know about alcohol are going to assume that what they know about booze is also applicable to weed. But what's happened with the thc concentration is NOT the same thing as if you replaced everyone's beer ... with Wild Turkey, and everyone still drank a six-pack's worth of liquid. If you know what I'm saying.
