do u really think that marijuana has devolved ???
I reallly doubt it....
I mean i used to think pussy was better in the 90's but thats just because it was new too mee then ....
In fact everything was better or is better when u first have it.... Am i right or am i right....
I had the best most amazing high from some schwagg that i puchased from a bum when i was 14yrs old ....that practically was pulled right out of his ass ....
after all it was my first time high....
so i can understand why oldtimers feel this way ....
It is not that pot of the past, and I am talking the 60's and 70's, just seemed great because it was new and seemed to have a major impact because of it. It was great because it was great.
Consider THC percentages of the highest percentage strains for the last decade or decade and a half. When has there been a true appreciable increase over that time period?
To use the original White Widow, Shantibaba's Black Widow, when it first won a Cup way back in 1995 different tests came back with THC levels of between 20% and 22%. If someone cares to believe them or not that's something different, but that was what the claims were at the time. Sixteen years later about the highest believable percentage is 25%. (I saw believable because no one believes the bogus claims of BC Seeds, that I think might now be defunct, and their alleged 40% to 50% strains.)
When in the past sixteen years has there been a true appreciable increase in actual potency? There has been much variety added, and many gimmicks like feminized seeds and auto-flowering strains and many pretty color strains and ones that have exotic aromas and ones that taste like Fruity Pebbles, but if pot is getting better why aren't the highest THC percentage strains 30% or 35% or more by now?
OK, look to the past, the 60's and the 70's. Low grade commercial was tested and came in as having between 1.3% to 3% THC and the highest grade strains tested came in between 9% and 13% or 14%. Pretty weak stuff compared to the 20% THC and higher strains that exist today.
The dirty little secret that 'The Dutch Masters' have never revealed and have hoped for many years would remain a secret was the way THC levels were tested were altered, the testing procedure was no longer performed in the same manner and that resulted in an overnight massive increase in reported levels of THC.
Science knew far less about cannabinoids in the 60's and the 70's and when testing was done everything in trichome heads were factored into the THC percentage calculation. That meant
organic substances belonging to buds, things like amino-acids, sugars, terpenoids, vegetal hormones, cannabinoids and even actual plant matter, the glands within glandular trichome head were included and non-glandular trichome heads were also part of the equation.
Later when more was learned all that was tested for were cannabinoids and only cannabinoids and things like organic substances belonging to buds, things like amino-acids, sugars, terpenoids, vegetal hormones and even actual plant matter, the glands within glandular trichome head were included and non-glandular trichome heads were no longer a part of the equation, they were factored out of how THC levels were determined.
Consider how much of a difference that would make on THC percentages, having so many things removed from the equation making the exact same amount of THC a much higher percentage of the overall number of elements found.
Here is an example of a strain I found where it's THC level was tested under the old testing method and also under the newer testing method. Notice how a double digit THC level dropped to being a single digit THC level.
The strain and breeder:
Strain: Afgan Kush
Breeder: World of Seeds
The test results:
THC Level: 21.6% measured upon the rest of cannabinoids. 7.4% measured upon the rest of organic substances belonging to buds like: amino-acids, sugars, terpenoids, vegetal hormones, and cannabinoids (determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry)
Did everyone notice how using the newer testing method, where THC is a percentage of cannabinoids and only cannabinoids how the results were the strain had 21.6% THC but when the exact same strain was tested using the old testing method the THC level dropped all the way down to 7.4%?
Think about the highest grade strains of the 60's and the 70's that were tested using the old method, the method that was used in that era, and the results were between 9% to 13% and 14%. All of those are higher than the 7.4% found in the modern strain that using the newer method came in at 21.6% THC. The highest THC levels of the past, using the old method, were not all that far from being double what the 7.4% strain.
What does that tell you? That if the old 60's and 70's strains that under the old testing method were tested using the newer testing method that their THC levels would be HIGHER than any modern strain today.
Something else to factor in was that the testing in the past was not done as soon as a bust was made. They took yearly samples, made yearly tests to chart THC levels. Confiscated cannabis sat in government warehouses and under open sided government sheds and sometimes stacked in the open with tarps covering them or in cases where an 18-wheeler trailer was found loaded the trailer would be parked on government land and they all sat there for up to a year in conditions known to degrade THC. They were exposed to light and heat and the elements. Some yanked up and piled wile wet were basically compost piles where heat, high heat would develop deep within the piles and that heat, in addition to the natural heat, would degrade THC while the various collections of cannabis waited for as much as a year to be tested.
So by the time testing was performed there were in some cases a massive degradation of THC and that combined with the old testing procedure resulted in low levels of THC being found.
Before THC degradation the 1.3% to 4% strains might have been more like 4% to 8% and the 9% to 14% strains might have been more like 12% to 17%. If so how do you think those strains would do if tested using the newer testing method?
Anyone who believes that the very best strains of the 60's and 70' were weaker than strains today is flat out wrong. If they were toking in those days and what they smoked was not the very best, then it would be natural for them to believe that modern strains are more potent. But not having experienced the very best would leave them without a broad enough comparative base to make an accurate claim. And those who are younger who never knew that the way THC levels were tested only have the results from the old testing procedure to go on, which created a false low level of THC, and they believe the results to be accurate so they naturally believe the 17%, 19%, 21% to 25% strains of today to be much higher in levels of THC. But that is only because they do not know that the method for testing THC levels was altered and the alterations instantly created vastly higher percentages of THC found.
On another subject, that being how pussy seems so spectacular when it's new to you and then later, while still damn good, just doesn't have the same amount of pizazz to it? Well often times that is the result of marriage and having the same pussy, the same aging pussy that often times has a few babies heads forced through it, all the time.
I like to use this as an example. Think of what your very favorite food in the world is. The food that you love far better than any other. If you had to eat that food every day for every single meal how long would it take before a greasy hamburger from White Castle or someplace like that taste damn good?
I'm 56 years old and single. When I get 'the itch' I order takeout, I rent an 'escort.' Even at 56 years old a hot as Hades 18 or 20 year old 'escorts' pussy is as spectacular as my first or my second or my first dozen or more. A guy aging doesn't make pussy any less spectacular or enjoyable to them. It's the aging of the pussy and the body around it that takes away the thrill and the excitement of having it. That's why so many guys leave their old wives for younger babes or cheat on them with young babes ... because they are sick and tired of eating what they once thought was their favorite food every single time they have a meal.
All you young guys ... wait until you are about 40 or 45 or 50 and take a good look at that floppity sloppity stretched out drying up old hole and then go rent yourself or pick up some young babe who can clamp it down on you like a pair of vice grips and work it like there's three or four cow milking competition winners all have a grip on you and working you over at once and you will then understand what I am talking about. Then add to it the pleasure and excitement of not looking at a body that has suffered the ravages of pregnancies and gravity and all their 'parts' are where they are supposed to be ..... and that 'thang' will be every bit as hot and as exciting as your first and your second and your first dozen.
You can take the word of this OLD dude. It will be just as good, if not better.
Thus endeth the lesson.

Additional. As good as all that is guys like me really do not pay 'escorts' too have sex. The real reason we pay them is so they will LEAVE right after sex.
