Teens have access to vastly more potent cannabis than their parents had at their age. Parents need to understand the risks, including psychosis

    It’s not opinion, you irresponsible doofus, but verifiable fact at this point - hence the article.

    You can’t prevent people from growing it themselves at home no, but selling high grade over the counter? Heeeell no. Not in my country.

    That would get cannabis super banned almost instantly after legalization, which would be dumb, counter productive - and irresponsible.

    And if you went around distributing it without clearly informing of it’s THC/CBD ratio and the implications thereof?

    Straight to jail - because it could be a costly, irresponsible form of stupid, that could cause harm to someone else and lasting damage to them - all because “that shit be hype”?

    One year in prison. Same as when selling ethanol. No exceptions.

    “One hit shit”. You mean noisy, loud, tweak head shit. Why not skip a step and go straight to meth? Maybe synthesize a concentrate you can inject straight into your groin even. Call it groinnabis. Smh.

      Say you’ve never been to a legal dispensary without saying you’ve never been to a legal dispensary.

      I’ve been to cannabis dispensaries in five different states. Never have I ever seen anything sold without clear labeling of the THC/CBD ratio (as well as listing percentages of various other terpenes), but also every container features a warning about health risks. The high potency products I’ve bought all contain labels that specifically highlight their strength, and warn about an increased risk of psychosis.

      Yeah, it would be nice if there could be more specific information on the labels, or a unified authority across the US to enforce standards across states. Unfortunately, anti-cannabis zealots have done well to hold back research by keeping cannabis illegal, while simultaneously using lack of research as a reason for keeping it illegal.

        …can you read? I wasn’t talking about dispensaries. I was talking about home grown high grade - but also: high grade in general would be illegal in my country based on how we already regulate other drugs.

        Not that you give AF about your countrymens well being, which we know you don’t when you intimate that you would actively grow skunk and distribute to people without warning people about the THC content - because you’re an absolute irresponsible sociopath.

        Or, you can’t read.

        Which one is it?

      I said it should be tested and labeled properly so consumers can make their own decisions. The article sucks, it’s not “verifiable fact”. Hit me with those peer reviewed studies in a journal worth a shit if it’s such a fact.

      You can’t prevent people from growing it themselves at home no, but selling high grade over the counter? Heeeell no. Not in my country.

      You want people who would like to use strong cannabis have to go to the black market instead of buying something tested and labeled over the counter and making an informed decision.

        Are you in full honest making the argument equivalent to “people should only drink beer and wine. Even imagining spirits is equivalent to jumping off a bridge”?

        They could grow it themselves and not distribute it without telling people what it contained…

        This is why high grade is bad, because it impedes ones reading retention - apparently.

          Do you realize how complex proper sampling is, or expensive the testing is? Ideally you’re also going to be looking for bacterial and fungal growth as well. I see no reason that high potency cannabis - also the most efficient in terms of energy for light/cooling, water usage, fertilizer usage per quantity THC - shouldn’t be commercially available, tested to pharmaceutical standards, and regulated to permit users to make responsible decisions.

          Arguing for low potency cannabis is forcing others to be wasteful because you can’t regulate your own consumption. I don’t get absolutely stupid with strong weed or extracts, it’s just nice to not have to smoke an entire gram joint before bed. A few hits is all I need.

            Grow… it… yourself… but do not distribute WITHOUT… informing… of THC content…

            Got that, cookie? Does it enter into your skull? Do you understand why? Of course not.

            Do you ignore the article because it doesn’t suit your agenda? Yes. Are you a licensed neurologist? No. Are you a licensed therapist? No. Do you understand why it’s a problem? No. Do you care? No. Are you a selfish little goblin? Yes…

      The anti-weed agents are out in full force these days. Dishonest pieces of shit! “It’s weed, so you might as well do meth.” Get out of here, narc. This is what they have to do to hurt marijuana.

        Not if it’s 60 proof - not in my country anyway. Then you’d go to jail - and I’d say the same should be for high grade.

        My case is still - if you bothered to read - that high grade should remain illegal, but that low to mid grade should be legalized.

        Why bother using words? Maybe I should just smash my face on my phone. Seems to be working for you guys.

          In what country is 60 proof illegal? No vodka, whiskey, rum, basically any spirits? Seems like a nanny state situation, if someone wanted to get drunk they can just drink twice as much sugary liqueur to get there… why should the government term them what form to use.

          That said, I do agree for cannabis. The fact there is no percievable difference when using it makes it dangerous. But with alcohol over 80 proof like most spirits is pretty obvious. In fact I think theres a higher risk with the sweet liqueurs at 23% because theyre easy to drink

            It sort of is a “nanny state”… or a welfare state. In any case, its to prevent deaths caused by dehydration. 60 is allowed, but everything upwards is not.
