As long as its treated differently in its own licensing regime and establishments I think some form of education should accompany it, for consumers. Given generations of bad information.
Its come up with others here in California, the THC products are REALLY strong and offputting for us casuals. The hybrids have potential
Why not just smoke a sufficiently small particle then?
Besides, it's leaving out a lot to say that today's weed is so strong and more so than what hippies had in the 70s. Surely cannabis strains were bred and cultivated back in the day and people with access did get the good stuff as opposed to some seedy mexican brick weed with stems and leaves in it?
If the stuff now is 20% thc and the garbage in the 70s you remember having was 5% just smoke a quarter instead, no big deal. Scales are not illegal nor expensive.
And if you desire a better THC:CBD ratio you only have to choose better, thanks to a regulated market.
No, it was universally worse, because those strains hadn't been bred yet. What you're doing is like assuming that some people in the 60s got to use the "good" computers.
If you just sow a field full of random seeds and just forget about them until harvest instead of maintaining them, removing the males, etc your quality will be worse.
The fearmongering that it's different "now" tends to ignore this.
Any regulated shop is going to have clerks ambiguously asking you your tolerance level, as if we were all running around getting high for the last 20 years with illegal and consistent reliable sources - like they did.
Then they bombard you with edibles and all kinda of concoctions, most of which are impossible to have an even distribution of THC in them. Smoking being the lowest common denominator on this menu.
This is what consumers are experiencing for now, and it can improve.
If the question is that ambiguous, then your answer is simply "no tolerance."
Only recently have I started seeing products in dispensaries with cannabinoid/terpenoid profiles to give a more accurate picture of the effects, I think we’re going to start seeing more products that are essentially blends of pure THC/CBD/CBN/CBG/etc + specific terpenes to make very effective targeted medicines.
"THC/CBD/CBN/CBG/etc + specific terpenes"
what?
what would be a good place to have a primer about this, what is the public's understanding of this currently, especially in recreational legalized areas
how do we get to more holistic and broader knowledge for consumers. I agree that locking people up and taking their children isn't a productive use of the state in response to marijuana, and I can perceive this blanket legalization needs some fine tuning primarily with consumer education, something more akin to what you might see from a consumptive drug in the federal regulatory framework.
A blend good for sleep might have a good amount of THC and CBN (and maybe some CBD) plus the mycrene and beta-caryophyllene terpenes (associated with the more sedating strains).
Indica/sativa don’t really mean anything, strains are mostly just variations of terpenes.
Takes an hour to hit you but that's not always a bad thing, and doesn't jack with my lungs.
