Super High: Best Weed Ever

weed.jpg

Back in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, weed was nothing much more than some funky grass that made you feel chill, silly and hungry. But today, the US government’s Office of National Drug Control Policy has announced that the average percentage of THC, the psychoactive ingredient, in the currently available marijuana has risen to 9.6-percent, up from 1983’s report of just under 4-percent.

The study was done by the University of Mississippi’s Potency Monitoring Project (how do we join?), which tested 62,797 cannabis samples, 1,302 hashish samples, and 468 hash oil samples, confiscated by law enforcement. “The increases in marijuana potency are of concern since they increase the likelihood of acute toxicity, including mental impairment,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Increased mental impairment a concern? Well, our only concern is getting our hands on some of that bud.

    you can od from smoking, but you have to smoke as much as your own body weight, thats damn near impossible. Heres a fact though:studies show that when smoking pot then getting behind the wheel you actually drove better! More cautious, and not as much road rage, interesting isnt it? so my finding from this is FACT:ALCOHOL IS EXTEMELY MORE DANGEROUS THAN POT. Why does it get such a bad rap?????????

    Give ME some of that!!!!!

    TRULY!!! Alcohol is 100x’s more dangerous!!!

    P.S.: Jose, if it holds together and neither too tight (or worse) loose IT IS smokeable; for me any how.

    According to Marijuana Myths on drugtext.org:

    The researchers who made the claim of increased potency used as their baseline the THC content of marijuana seized by police in the early 1970s. Poor storage of this marijuana in un-air conditioned evidence rooms caused it to deteriorate and decline in potency before any chemical assay was performed. Contemporaneous, independent assays of unseized “street” marijuana from the early 1970s showed a potency equivalent to that of modern “street” marijuana. Actually, the most potent form of this drug that was generally available was sold legally in the 1920s and 1930s by the pharmaceutical company Smith-Klein under the name, “American Cannabis”.

    You cannot od on weed, god. Also, you don’t trip on weed, hallucinate when you have good shit, but never trip. Marijuana should NOT be illegal anywhere. Who is going to go kill some one or vandalize public property after hitting the bong or smoking a bone? Okay, same question, only replace any reference to weed with alcohol or coke. Exactly. Also, the only permanent physical affect of weed is on your lungs, and thats only if you smoke it. Actually a recent documentary, super high me, shows that weed can higher your IQ and if you’re a guy, sperm count. It is a genius plant, not a drug! Adios.

    lets face it, if every one social smoked weed, there would be no barfights or street brawls, when your half baked, the most your gonna argue over is what pizza topping too get???

    althought i do both agree and disagree with on comment with reguards to Driving on weed, yes some tests do show that one or 2 joints in moderation and the driving was safer, as people were more relaxed and drove slower. but you have to account that there will be somone will end up ripping a couple bongs and fall asleep at the wheel??? then somone Is gonna get hurt???

    just been reading all your comments guys and thought i shud add my opinion, weed never harms anyone… except the person using it.. u dont go round killing people on weed i agree thats because u dont go around anywhere at all. it relaxes your mind to the state where ur a walking vegetable you cannot attain aspirations or can u achieve goals…apart from when u need to score. i wos smoking it for a number of years taking hits from that boredom relieveing bong.. or what i thought to be..untill oneday i hit my head really hard and woke up. i dont critisize i sympathize with the addicts.. peace friends

    Shit, I know whenever I smoke some weed I get smart as shit. I’ve taken tests while baked that i could never get the same score while sober.

    God wants me to smoke weed, everytime I say: “Nah, I’m gonna stop smoking” there is instantly weed on the ground in a bag usually a quarter sack or so.

    Doesn’t work when i just “Say” it I have to actually mean I’m gonna quit.

    That or i’ll be driving to a drug dealer I don’t know and there will be a picture of Jesus giving me the thumbs up…only when I go to get weed…weird shit.
