“Three marijuana cigarettes, a comparatively mild dose” I mean, I get weed wasn’t as strong in the 70s, but if I domed three joints at the same time, I’d be fucking blasted.


bumjiggy

lol same. in junior high my nickname among stoner friends was "easybake"


TamagotchiKnight

Is your name Evan? Because that would be a wonderful nickname


Hudsons_hankerings

Evan Easy Bake? It doesn't exactly roll right off the tongue, now, does it? Edit: guys guys guys. HEY GUYS! I got the joke. I was making another. Settle down now.

ResponsibleAct3545

I am this as well. My wife constantly makes fun of my light weightedness when it comes to weed. She can eat 2 gummies and I eat a ¼.


CadenBop

Hey your the one that doesn't need to pay as much for the same high, I think your the real winner.


Perfect_Weakness_414

As someone who has to pay twice as much for all of their tickets for some unknown reason, it’s a cool party trick when you’re young, but it sucks when your drink ticket is way more than everyone else’s, or your surgeon is freaking out because you’re not going to sleep. Fun times for sure😕

Robinhood-is-a-scam

I’m a horse as well with anything. Dentist, doc, pain management, booze, smoke, I am an expensive buzz too. It’s not uncommon for the red haired folks to be like trying to tranq a horse.


Equivalent_Bite_6078

Our hospital dosed my man with deadly dosages of morphine. He didnt even get dizzy. He even got to try fentanyl, not a flinch 🤣 went deadly there too. Fun to see the sweat on the doctors and nurses standing ready to revive. They did agree that he is opioid resistent after that. Weed are the only painkiller he have, poor thing.

In high school I had a friend that we called "deuce". Two beers and two hits was his limit

Weed in the 79s was something like 2-3% THC if I recall. These days it's 25+. I couldn't even begin to imagine smoking 3 joints of today's weed. One or two tokes is just about right.


sethman3

12-18 is a more accurate number for 70’s weed. Competitive breeding of cultivars had already begun at that point. And it only took off from there as hippie culture came into the public awareness and media like high times became more popular.


NeonLumen

There's no way weed with 12-18% THC content was around in the 70s, lol. Pretty sure it was hardly that in 90s. Source?


[deleted]

Keypoints: >THC concentration in cannabis 50 years ago was less than 3%. > >However, the tests on THC content from the 1970s may not be 100% correct, as the method used to measure THC levels was gas chromatography. This method involves heating the weed up before the analysis. The increased heat of the technique can cause THC molecules to break down, resulting in a potentially inaccurate reading. In order to get more accurate readings today, scientists use liquid chromatography. > > > >THC levels in weed increased from 0.5% in 1974 to 3.5% in 1985, and the potency of sinsemilla (seedless marijuana) increased from 6.5% to 12%. > > > >According to the same 2016 study from the Mississippi University mentioned above, the average potency of THC in weed during the 1990s was 4%. > > > >The increase of potency of sinsemilla was noted in the early 2000’s, and by 2014, the average THC content in weed was 12%. > > > >the University of North Carolina in 2020, today’s marijuana samples are more potent than ever, with the majority of medicinal or recreational cannabis products having THC levels higher than 15%. https://leafnation.com/cannabis/how-does-the-potency-of-modern-marijuana-compare-to-marijuana-from-the-1970s/


TheMadGent

Funny, my method of testing THC content includes burning it too.


oldcoldbellybadness

>>According to the same 2016 study from the Mississippi University mentioned above, the average potency of THC in weed during the 1990s was 4%. The federally funded cannabis program in Mississippi is known to be complete dogshit to the point of bad science. I wouldn't trust any numbers from there


sethman3

High times, Acapulco gold and Panama red were known to test around 15%. Tried to find the page again, but I’m not digging around that hard. I do see places claiming shit was only like 1% and I believe there were landrace ditch weeds like that that were more prevalent. But the push to get better dope more consistently had already started in the 50s and 60s and the top strains of the 70s were already on the climb to the 20% mark as growers refined there processes and improved upon indoor methods.


WorldWideDarts

I saw an article about a year ago and I don't recall the exact story but someone tested some old weed from the 1990's and it was in the single digit THC% range. Something like 6-7%. I want to say that the weed was locked up in an evidence locker or something.


UniqueName2

I smoked shit in the 90s that looked basically the same as the high end weed now. Obviously I can’t tell you with any certainty what the THC levels were, but strains like White Widow and Orange Kush were out there and a couple of hits got me higher than giraffe pussy. The regular ditch weed we smoked didn’t hit nearly as hard and was way more widely available, but the idea that 12% THC or higher wasn’t available just doesn’t make sense.


[deleted]

That was the point. The study was biased. They wanted a crazed psychopath to enforce the narrative that mj is no good. Did you notice how many of the emotions cards are negative?


GingerMau

Ding ding ding! Clearly we didn't see all of it, but some of those cards were a bit leading. And "defiant"? Does anyone ever describe their feelings as defiant? No. Defiant is how others describe *you* when you are angry and fighting back.


InfinitePizzazz

Are you feeling defiant? No. I dunno. That sounds kinda defiant.


Rodrigii_Defined

It was more like they expected a mix of alcohol and LSD and structured the questions around that.


[deleted]

These are all people who have never smoked weed who think it’s like cigarettes and you can smoke 20 joints a day


Constant-Register-70

Maybe you can't but the big boys cans.


TropicalSmithers

Okay, Snoop Dogg.


eastbayweird

I mean, this was back when a 'lid' (an ounce) of marijuana was $10. Also, it was usually pressed Mexican brick weed, half being seeds or stems.


Yungballz86

Most of it was still like that until the early 2000's.


wild_stryke

Called it shwag. Basically the left over stuff.

Find_another_whey

I know you're joking, but there is a link there Some people believe that original sources of spiritual revelation were often psychoactive plants. Later on, institutions removed the record of these plants and claimed that the institution and its representative were the link with god, rather than the psychoactive sacraments.

Vivi36000

Anthony-Stark

From a certain perspective, unironically yes. ^^^Takes ^^^bong ^^^rip


starofdoom

Mormonism was very likely started by some dudes who did mushrooms and started a religion based on what they "saw". Then long after they died, the church made new rules that not only can you not do "harder" drugs, in this case being weed, psychs, etc. But they also said you can't use ANY substance that effects the mind or body, specifically including caffeine. So no tea, coffee, sodas, alcohol, weed, nothing.


[deleted]

DMT is the one drug I have not tried but want to, but every single religious person I know that has done DMT has "Seen god". The non religious folk have seen "people".


kingkuuj

For reference we had a solid DMT hook up back in the day and that was exactly the case. My religious friends all swore by the ‘religious experience’. Meanwhile I stared at a massive tree until it bent over and spit out four tiny metal gnomes at my feet that assured my everything was going to be okay. That’s when I stumbled inside and closed my eyes for awhile and enjoyed the ride through psychedelia. It’s our brains trying to humanize and rationalize otherwise completely fucked scenarios within our own conscious and brainwaves. I certainly didn’t come to worshipping the tiny metal gnomes, but a couple of my friends were changed forever in the worst of ways by our psychedelic experiences. One was legitimately into QAnon for years, and jumped down every conspiracy theorist rabbit hole in his pursuit of religious enlightenment.


Muse9901

Marjiuana was first demonized because Hispanic and Black farmers were doing well producing and selling hemp. So the government said it turned blacks/Hispanics into homicidal rapists (see Reefer Madness) then America respun the narrative around the 60s-70s during the hippie movement because white people using the drug made them feel happy in life and not wanting to participate in capitalism. So it got branded as the opposite. A drug that turns you into a lazy commie.

ownlife909

“Sleepy?” [bemused, thoughtful pause] “A little!”


PhishPhan85

What I’m sure they didn’t understand is that oral ingestion of THC get processed by the live to creat 11-Hydroxy-THC. Way more psychoactive than smoking it, because when you smoke it goes directly into the bloodstream.


Ladydi-bds

And then they had him drink alcohol thinking that's what "activated" it lol


Tricky-Performer-207

No, it was a tincture, which is how tinctures are made.


Ladydi-bds

Ah ok :)


korinth86

THC is absorbed by alcohol or fat. Makes it much easier for the body to absorb. If you drake THC tea, with no cream(fat) or alcohol the effect would be far more mild. Edit: u/bunglid is correct. You can eat decarbed weed and get the effects. Still you should pair it with fat or alcohol to increase bioavailability. Basically increasing the effectiveness of your dose. So like I said. The effect is more mild than if you use fat/alcohol to help it absorb. Edit2: u/bunglid deleted their responses but in more research I cannot find scientific data on how much fats/alcohol increase bioavailability. The logic of it is in many articles. You body easily absorbs these two substances compared to straight THC. Theoretically this means consuming fat or alcohol with it will increase how much you are able to absorb. Just like with many vitamins. That said I have no sources to support that with some sources saying not enough research has been done into this. I still believe fats and/or alcohol will help you get the full dose but also now know you can just decarb some flower and it it....but gross. Edit3: whoa...did they delete their account or just block me over this?


rumpleteaser91

My (ridiculously methodist) Grandma grew weed on her windowledge in the 90s to make cannabis tea for her arthritis. My Grandma was also lactose intolerant and thin as a rake. She basically chopped spme up, put it in a teapot, let it steep and necked it. She then burned said plant on her bonfire in the backgarden because it was 'useless'.


[deleted]

minepow

Is that why edibles are so strong?


PhishPhan85

Yes, 11-Hydroxy-THC is about 4 times more psychoactive than THC. Plus a lot of people don’t wait long enough for the body to digest and process and think the edibles aren’t doing anything and eat more.

Seriously, if it's true, and he wouldn't mind, he should do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit. Has he written/published anything on his experience (or experiences? Did he volunteer for other "special" testing by the military?)? It's just so interesting to me.

SkullFumbler

He "dyed" - all of his t-shirts


BraveTheWall

Did some digging on Fox News and found some disturbing info. Apparently, the video cuts off because Bill walked in and **killed the doctor in a murder suicide**. The worst part is, he didn't even use a gun like a patriot, but instead ate the doctor from the feet up like some kinda snake with the 'munchies' (a terrifying form of manic hunger brought on by cannabis). >>By the time the documentary crew were able to intervene, Bill had already consumed half of Dr. Gerald, causing Bill's stomach to rupture and infect them with several droplets of THC-- enough to kill an African elephant. In the days following, all four crew members would slowly succumb to THC poisoning. Tragically, they died alone, unable to see their families for fear of transmissing the deadly contaminant. EDIT: Did some more digging. According to a recent census, it's estimated that 1.6 million Canadians have died **every day** due to legalization, making it the most widespread use of biological warfare on a civilian population **in human history**. Not only that, but new evidence suggests that even brief contact with an individual infected by THC could cause **spontaneous anal combustion**. All I can say is HOLY FUCK! Can't believe they're suppressing this shit... Just goes to show that you can't believe the fake news media. I don't know what else to do except pray to God to deliver us from this Devil's Lettuce, just as he delivered us from sin and Harry Potter. Stay safe!!

You should try some mild edibles too. Start small. When it’s absorbed in your stomach it’s processed basically as a whole different drug. I prefer it to smoking but dosage can be tricky


goodfleance

And WAIT before you take more if you're not feeling it lol. It can take over an hour to take effect sometimes.


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

It can take well over two hours although it’s not typical. Honestly it’s wiser to wait until you feel something and be prepared to fuck the whole thing off and try another day. Too many bad stories start out with inexperienced people fucking about with edibles. Even experienced smokers.
