"ultra-potent weed" is weak and you need to stop with that talking point. SWIM are on 90%+ THC cartridges or concentrates 24/7. Smoking the strongest weed, low 30%s, is a tolerance break thing or for fun.
THC% has skyrocketed over the last 20 years, that’s well documented. I know from experience that one time is all it takes to mess you up.
A lot of things can mess you up after only one time. For example, I got hit by a truck in July of last year :) all my injuries have healed but I still have protective reflexes and some really strong emotions about it. Trauma is powerful!
take less? like saying cocaine concentration has skyrocketed. you did too much, calm down, hasn't killed very many people.
