[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been involved in the legal marijuana business from the business side.  The biggest issue for older folks is that today’s crops are much much stronger (with THC) than from “back in the day”.  But - a continuing issue is that the “strength” of a given plant can substantially differ from the plant 5 feet away in a grow facility.  So you have to mix and test but many places do not mix and test.  This is also why personal growing of today’s plants is NOT a good thing for teens.  The “dime bag” from the 80s/90s is a small fraction of strength of what you get today.

Frankly, our friends who partake now (in our 50s and 60s) do so with THC pills so they can control the dose.  Not much “fun” but easier on the lungs and more controlled.  This is a different way to get high though, and one that also is very different for older folks.  Pills to get high back 15 years ago were not THC and very often not safely made.  [/quote]

Former medical cannabis patient here. It's not even just that weed is being bred for high-THC. The fertilizers, sprays, growth hormones, etc. are also contributing to illness, and there's mold, pesticides, and other things you don't want to smoke in most of the available weed, even "medical" from a dispensary.

As for the pills, or those godforsaken "gummies" that sound so cute and taste like candy, these are a largely unregulated industry. You don't really know what you're getting, even if it comes from the dispensary.

Think of a dispensary as a corner shop where all the dealers meet up to sell their wares. It's not like a pharmacy, where you would reasonably expect to find regulated goods.
