I currently have some start killer i got from the dispensary that tested at 32.27% THC... Was wondering what's the highest you've seen or smoked and what strain...
What's the highest percent THC strain you've smoked?

The highest I've personally seen tested is 29%. Bruce Banner #3, grown by a friend and lab tested locally. Wonderful smoke

Bruce banner is indeed wonderful smoke, definitely one of my favorite. $58 an 1/8. for the starkiller. Kinda ridiculous but it was on the hot items list. It sells out so fast so i thought i would grab it.It's just so much money,the dispensary gets charged for it by % which is bs if you ask me. It cost the same amount of time and money to produce bud that is 25% as it does to produce bud that is 30%... i get other shit for $47 that's 25% that in my opinion is just as good. Don't understand the mark up for it

THC percentages on weed being sold is mostly bullshit. They may as well pull numbers out of their asses. Here's how it work, They send samples for testing, then cherry pick the best results. One sample from one bud, from one plant is meaningless. A better metric would be several samples averaged because that's way you get when you smoke/vape and average across the amount of bud you have. Some buds will be more potent than other always. But its all about breeder's bragging rights, NOT about what you will get when you buy some.

Some of the strains grown by Leaph in Washington state have been reported to be in that range...I think the strain is "Cactus". I've pretty much smoked them all. TBH, I don't see a big difference between strains that are anywhere between 18% and 30% as far as effect. For me, the thing to look for are high terpene strains.

Yea, I agree with you about no big difference really. I'll have to start looking for the terpene count

The whole high THC thing seems to have become more of a marketing idea. I can't say that it's a bad idea because I know it works to attract people to those products that claim the highest levels.
But, like I say, IN REALITY, there isn'y a really big difference.
I know I told this story before on other threads, but I remember when I first got my medical card....I went crazy buying 2 gram samples of everything I could find....I got caught up in the hype and started to believe I was smoking some elite shit that no street weed could come close to.....But, as time passed, I wasn't getting any higher than I had always been getting -even when I was buying street bunk weed.
One day, I saw a friend in an illegal state and he had some "blueberry" that he had been getting from a grower for years and years...I took a couple pulls off that joint and it sat me down! Not only that, it was the most tasty blueberry skunk weed taste that I had in some time -and had been unable to find anywhere on the medical/commercial scene!
I can't say that that blueberry strain of his wasn't really high THC, too....but I doubt it was. My thought is that it was just a strain that had managed to escape the ravages of hybridization and, instead, offered some "missing" thing from the past that we just haven't figured out...yet. My guess is terpene profile in conjunction with the THC and other cannabinoids is going to be a better indicator of quality and effect in the future.

It's not really the terp count either.That BB3 from above tested at 3.350% terps, best of both worlds
Thc and cbd numbers do a disservice to the consumer imho
There's so much more going on and everyone's receptors are different.
Best smoke I've ever had was a 14% bubba circa 96'
Or a 12% la con from 02'
If a strain says it has more then 20% I avoid it as gimmicky.
If your main concern is thc % check out the numbers on shatter or rosin

I'm gonna start trying cheaper shit at the dispensary. I've spent over 15 grand there in the last two or three years the place has been open..
