Can we please stop making marijuana so strong.

I already cut my marijuana with 50% CBD, and that's still plenty strong that I only need a single hit to be plenty high.

I can't for the life of me understand why there's a race to the highest imaginable THC percentage, when it so clearly has an adverse effect on the experience.

100% agree. I think that the industry as a whole really optimized for the wrong thing for a very long time. It seems like in legal states, there's been a move towards more balanced strains (or at least, those have a niche in the market), but it seems like everyone was going for 30% THC by weight, and as little CBD as possible.

The "mids" I used to smoke back in my teenage years gave a better (read: more fun and relaxing) high than most of the "dank" weed I've smoked as an adult.

I imagine the people paying the most money have a high tolerance.
