More weed now? or in the 1960's

Mmmm thai stick.
The opiated kind.

There was a lot of good smoke throughout the 60's and a lot of junk, just like to-day.

 

If you listen to the gurus of ganja like eddy lepp, smoke is no better or worse today.

and i'd like to point out that these "highly potent hybrids that have been around for ten years" you're talking about mui nearly led to the nearly complete inbreeding of commercial pot which would've hurt potency a lot.

Read a book about it jackass

 

OK so I'm not mui so maybe no bones on this but.....
Yeah there's guys like that have a public name and there's folks in the wind, the invisible world so to speak. I know what you're saying about the inbreeding but some folk have better sense than that. Not everyone is motivated by creating bulk/profit. Matter of fact I know some folk who would freak at the idea of their shit getting mixed into some kind of commercial breeding. But, I think geck, joker etc... are about 95% right when it comes to something that's accessable (sp?) to the general public. Even the 'leet might have a hard time, but, it's out there, really.

edt: and for goodness sake, if you're looking to trip, got get some damn shrooms or as mentioned try a salvia flight. Herb is herb, shrooms are shroooms, know what I mean?

christ, I'm baked.

 

I disagree with you on the NOW. You see woodstock? Are you fucking kidding me? EVERYONE, loads of people there, just there to smoke pot. People in the suburbs, everyone toked up then. Shit... 6/8 of the world hates the shit now...DARE fags.

And yeah, a hell of alot better now. Weed then only had like 2%thc or sumthin like that, its up to like 30-50% now.

 

What? First of all, people weren't at woodstock just to smoke pot. That statement would be a little more true if you said LSD instead of pot, even still, it was a MUSIC festival, and music was a big part of the lifestyle. Over the years marijuana has become more popular, and more people smoke because of it. I think it's estimated in the US that 45-55 percent of the population smokes weed. The end of your post is ridiculous; there was good weed then too, just not as abundant as it is now.... And BTW, good nugs are like 6-12 percent THC. 30-50% THC is more along the lines of hashish products. Bubble is somewhere around 50-60%, and Jellyhash (the most potent THC product on earth) is in the 70 percent range...

 

Weed prices have changed obviously, has anyone ever heard of inflation? It's a really advanced concept.. rofl...

 

I guess I'm wrong... Eh, t hought I heard somewhere about a strain the government developed a lil bit ago that was the most potent to this day... maybe they were just researching it or its some sort of project, i dont know...

I should have asked my father, he would've known better than any damn teacher I ask.

You know I never really trusted that teacher anyway...

 

people may say weed was much more potent 30 years ago, but it is likely she just didnt know about dank stuff until later. I believe the government statistic on weed potency are rigged.

I know some retired growers who quit growing sometime around 1984. They grew high quality sensi and harvested the strongest weed they ever smoked in 1979.

 

u misquoted that... maybe 45% of the population has at one time or another tried weed... and even that is a very liberal estimate.. NORML says about 80 Million ppl have tried weed at least once... that does not equal 45-55 percent of the US population

 

i would say there is prolley the same percentage of the population smoke weed regularly, and there is prolley the same amount of weed per capita... the prices have rose dramaticly tho... not even with normal inflation
like willie nelson on half baked "i remember when a dime cost a dime"

 

Not everybody who smokes weed will admit it on a survey, so the stats will never be accurate enough.

 

thats true... there is no real way of knowing wats true and not so stats are almost pointless... obviously some ppl lie to make themselves feel cool that they say they do it and other stoners who are paranoid will not admit to it, so who knos really.. u have a point

 

i agree the quality is better if you have the right conections "but this really have not change much" as far popular not really Pot was smoked more often in the late 60s and 70s places like Florida a ounce of pot was only $25.00 even in late 1970s . you dont find a ounce of pot for $25.00 in florida regardless of the quality today . also getting busted in the 60s and 70s with pot was not much of a crime . now you are screw . in the 60s and 70s in Florida it was standard to have a ounce of pot at a rock concert. Cops minded theyr bissnes outside the concert . NOT ANYMORE!! .

 

thats called inflation

 

my friends mom said back in the day in the 70's, she could get 4 fingers high in a plastic bag for 20 bucks, thats like what, an ounce and a half? two? damn thats a lot for 20 bucks, and no weed is not better or worse now, it's all relative, maybe back in the day there wasn't dank bud just floating aorund everywhere like now, but yea it was for sure there

 

depends on whtas your vieuw on popular...

now its more normal, back then i think it was more unusual to use it so in some people's eyes it was more populair than it is now. know what i mean? it was more special to use it i think, more normal now

 

$10 an OZ in so.cal in the '70s.

$15 for top stuff.

OZs of gold were still $30 in FL through at least '82.

 

yes and no, now a days you have these big importers that just want a quick buck and buy the shittyest shit from mexico..... though weed has gotten better the whole nation hasn't necessarly gotten better weed.

 

same ammount, but we have much better weed as far as i know.

also inflation does cover the cost difference, because as i understood it they only had regs

 

i think we have more and better weed due to cross-pollinization
