You’re probably aware that today’s “weed” has THC levels that are jacked-up for profit? Many of the “approved” growers feel that the stronger the buzz the more you’ll come back to purchase. Sound familiar?
“…the overwhelming majority of adults that smoke a little pot once in a while will not become addicted and thus never be at risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms that promote relapse and spur addiction. However, as with every psychoactive drug, for more vulnerable users, such as those with chronic stress management problems, mental illness or a genetic predisposition to addiction, the chance of becoming addicted and experiencing withdrawal is undoubtedly greater.” Link
Who then are the vulnerable users? Who are the ones with stress problems? Who are the ones with a genetic predisposition to addiction? There are those in the marijuana industry who may indeed care about these aspects, but largely the bottom line for others will be sales. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The original “landrace” strains were of lower THC, better quality and rarely did I personally see someone go through withdrawal symptoms. Why don’t we see more of those strains made available? Because they take longer to grow and that means less turnover ($). Ever smoke some real, unhybridized Panama Red? Now that was a legendary high that makes much of what is going around today feel like plain tobacco.
By the way, you know that thing when you go to a dispensary and they ask for your ID? They claim it’s only to check your age and that you’re a resident of the state and how much you can buy?. Next time you visit a dispensary ask to speak with the owner and ask them if the government can request the dispensary’s database of purchasers. If they say no, then they are not being truthful with you. There is no law that says the government can’t do that. “Federal law still classifies marijuana as an illegal drug and there are no current protections for recreational customers.” Link Oh, and say hello and wave to the video cameras if your dispensary has them.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to bum yours or ayone else’s trip or anything like that. And I am certainly glad that the laws have become such that in many states marijuana users are no longer put through the injustice of being arrested and incarcerated. That should have happened decades ago.
So, get yourself some seeds, preferably of the original landrace varieties. Grow your own and don’t advertise you do so. The longer you wait between use, the higher the high. For example, for many years I’ve only used once or twice a year and even at that I would make sure to do in the outdoors doing some camping or daytrip. There’s just nothing like a a real high and enjoying the landscape, sunsets, and dark sky stars whether by yourself or with some good company.
And as with everything, moderation and mindfulness is the key. You got those then you’re doin’ alright - whether you’re high or not.
