"The marijuana out there today is 20 times more potent than in the 60’s"

And this qualitative improvement happened while pot was illegal.

American agriculture..the world standard. The ag college majors at Colorado State and Washington State are probably more popular these days.

This country also somehow survived and flourished with EVERYTHING ELSE LEGAL until the 1920s.

You used to be able to buy morphine and syringes in the Sears Catalog for pete’s sake.

I can drink a beer that is 4 times more powerful than was allowed in my state for most of its existence, too. Guess what, society hasn’t crumbled because of barleywine either.

“The marijuana out there today is 20 times more potent than in the 60’s”

That’s a myth, which came from comparing THC content in the strongest strains available today with the weakest strains available in the 60’s. On average, potency has increased some, but nowhere near “20 times.”
