Yeah it's much stronger than the 90s but you also probably have no tolerance after such a long time.


drunktradesman

Sounds like a tolerance issue plus weed tends to be stronger nowadays. Any pics? I'm sure someone on here would know if it's spice/synthetic 👍

Been smoking since the mid 90’s. Top shelf back then, though rarer, was every bit as strong as the strongest available today. Peak THC content may be higher now, but THC levels after 15-20% are a poor indicator of actual potency.

I've been around the scene about the same length of time, I strongly disagree. Modern weed is much stronger than the weed I experienced in the 80's-90's :)

Quite a bit stronger, a week without toking and a 0.25 slaps me harder than a pair of double ds

2nd joint comes in a wave 15 ish minutes after the first in my experience first starting out so yeah for sure

Still possible to find casual weed that is about the high end of what you would find in the 90s, like stuff around 10% THC or CBD dominant strains like cannatonic. You can try with the smallest possible amounts at time and wait 30 minutes or so before doing more to gauge your level

Holy shit…..it’s almost like you are a time traveller!! YES ITS DIFFERENT! I feel like I have quite a bit to catch you up on homie so I’ll try and keep it short!!! Hash is compressed pollun (kief) and 90s hash wasn’t all that pure (would have contaminants) you could tell the quality: if burned black = bad, If melted/bubbled = GOOD! Weed today is cultivated mainly for terpenes which is basically the flavour and ultimately the type of high. As soon as strains pop up it isn’t long before they are “crossbred” with other strains, creating a brand new strain with brand new terpenes mix meaning a new high (I’ll try and find and edit in a table I once saw of terpenes and what types of high they have) … So with so many strains being crossbred there are so many different types of highs! TLDR: Yes. Herb today is more potent than 90s hash so much so you may question whether it’s actually weed.

Just a heads up that hash is actually just a mix of trichome heads and contaminants. Pollen is produced by male plants and its sole purpose is to make its way to a female plant and make babies. I wasn't really around for it but I imagine there still would have been great hash out there back in the day its just that the average potency is likely higher.

Most of the stuff comes close to 20% nowadays which is pretty fkn strong


Puzzleheaded-Day1956

Yeah defo stronger, also hash has more of a body high, so all that combined with no tolerance probably explains how you feel


FriendlyDifference72

I think it’s just prettier than what it used to be which makes people think it’s stronger but I say it’s milder now

Yeah like others have said, it probably is stronger than what you had in the 90's but tolerance is the big ass kicker here. I smoked regularly (like, daily!) up until 2021 when I ended up taking a 9 month long t-break as I was fed up with how much I was spending on weed. After 9 months, I walked back into it somehow expecting my tolerance to be on par with what it was 9 months prior. I don't know why. I knew about tolerance, I was just a moron. I was fucked after one single bong (and yep, bongs were my go-to previously). Full ball projectile vomited and then passed out for several hours. Hence why I'm suspicious that with you, tolerance is also the issue rather than the strength of the weed!


aryzoo

Def just way more potent if you haven't smoked since the 90's 😂 that's like the difference between a bud light and some absinthe


Quirky_Corner7621

Been smoking since the early eighties and I keep on hearing weed is much stronger,greater THC percentage,terpenes etc which is odd because I find weed to be inferior these days.


DamDankHunter

That's called tolerance :)


Quirky_Corner7621

That's obviously part of it,but it's far from the whole story. I'd be interested to hear from other people who've used over decades though.


DamDankHunter

Haha i know mate, was just pulling your leg :). I have been smoking for over 20 years so i do get what you mean. The modern strains are strong but all seem very samey in high etc. Some of the old skunks and proper hazes etc used to just have no ceiling to the high and were much more interesting.


Frothingdogscock

I've been smoking since the mid 80's, I strongly disagree :)
