Dangerously High Levels of THC Are Driven by Profits and Greed
In 1995, the average cannabis sample tested around 4% THC. By 2014 it was about 12%, and dispensary flower today routinely sits at 25–30%. Concentrates — dabs, wax, v**e carts — run 60–90%.
That didn't happen by accident. It happened because THC content is what sets the price. Highly potent products are the majority of what's on the shelf and cost more regardless of type, which tells you financial gain is shaping the market. In some states, shops won't stock flower testing under 20%. Growers breed for the number because the number sells.
Here's what nobody puts on the label: to chase THC, you breed out C*D. C*D dropped from roughly 0.28% to under 0.15%, and the THC-to-C*D ratio went from about 14:1 in 1995 to 80:1. C*D is the brake pedal. It's gone.
A Lancet Psychiatry study found daily users were three times more likely to be diagnosed with psychosis. For daily high-potency users, nearly five times. In Amsterdam, researchers estimated about half of all new psychosis cases were associated with high-potency cannabis.
This may explain why your 19-year-old who smokes w**d believes the neighbors are recording him and that MS-13 has a contract out on him.
