The physiological processes that happen within the body are so complex that its a bit simplistic to infer that THC alone is responsible for what many consider "potency" or "peak potency".
And yes, certain foods, grapefruits or juice will affect how the body processes certain medications/compounds.
Anyone that has a serious interest in this should complete some course work on human physiology. A basic A&P class can give you a good foundation for comprehending the physiological processes that happen within the ECS.
Not trying to sound preachy or pretentious. I just know how much my previous career has helped cut my learning curve when researching this topic and feel it could really help those that are perusing cultivation for the medicinal benefits.
I understand what you are saying.
I was a biology major.
I don't think you are sounding pretentious.
You are just using your knowledge and applying it cannabis.
The cannabinoid system is very complex. And affects many systems in the body. Sure other influences can affect the way cannabis' compounds are processed. Also external factors can affect the high as well. Poor air quality, temperatures, your psychological situation.....
THC was not inferred as the only compound that was in question. Actually, it is almost the opposite.
My original post was just the way claims of 30+% THC was supposed to be impossible just a few years ago. BC Seeds was claiming those percentages a while back, and got laughed at by everyone.
That breeder was claim they had spent over $250,000 on R n D. Working with different alleles and mutations. To increase THC over generations.
