I was recently thinking about the old days when I started out as a young teen. The "tech" we used and sources of materials to construct our tools. And the weed we must have been smoking... And this is in the late 80s, early 90s. Even my memories don't look so bleak compared to these. But I was meaning to look up the THC levels over the years compared to what is around now...

In case anyone goes looking like I just did. This at a quick glance at least gives an idea.

Pretty wild, from around 3% to hell, over 30% for plenty of strains now.

I absolutely love the milder type 2 weed that's coming out now myself. 3-10% thc with the same amount of CBD. This new shit just blasts you with no forgiveness. Like there's no room for error and it's so easy to get way too high.

There are times and situations I might enjoy that. But as a regular smoker at the moment getting high is kind of hard due to increased tolerance. I would likely have to take a week or two to reset to try that stuff out.

To be fair, I mostly replaced craft beer with weed. So getting high is kind of the point. Just like getting drunk was. Good taste but also often higher abv. Shrug.
