It can lead to anxiety and panic attacks due to the high levels of THC relative to the past.


Agreed. I'm always on the lookout for what are now low percentage strains. Perhaps I'm an odd ball lightweight but the current trend of ingesting as much THC as an possible in as little smoke as possible is not something I look forward to.

20+% come the fuck on...I'm not trying to make hash out of it.


I've been complaining about this for years. Instead of optimizing for a pleasant sensation, growers have been trying to push THC as high as possible (while also pushing CBD to near non-existent levels). This 20%+ THC .5% CBD stuff tends to make me anxious and unhappy to the point that I've almost completely quit smoking.

Not that that's necessarily a bad thing overall. But still, I'd love to see some more moderate options take root in the marketplace. If my state ever legalizes, I think it might be fun to try my hand at breeding a personal strain with better ratios!


It's the same with Wine, once upon a time a bottle was only 9-10% in alcohol volume and now an average bottle in the super market is up in the 13-14% range.
