30+% THC??

So it seems now that folks are regularly claiming THC percentages in this realm!
Only a little while back folks were busting the balls on BC Seeds for claiming THC percentages of 30-50%!
They claimed that THC couldn't go any higher than in the 20% range.
Now we are supposed to believe claims of THC in the 30% range.
Sounds like bullshit to me, either that or BC Seeds might be the one's to purchase from!?!

In CA I’m regularly seeing test scores in the very high 20’s and into the low 30’s. This is testing done by SC Labs, which has done testing for the Chalice Festival and the Emerald Cup (likely other big CA cannabis events as well). Everything I’ve heard suggests SC Labs is very well respected in the cannabis testing world.

I think you might see some variation among the same samples from different testing facilities. For example, I know some testing facilities may or may not take water content into account when testing their flower. Hopefully greater standardization is coming to THC testing now that legalization is becoming more common.

That said, I do believe that the combination of high quality genetics and impeccable grow conditions are producing flower with THC concentrations in the low 30’s. I would take every test result with a grain of salt, and ideally you see enough tests from a single testing facility to get a good idea of what their results indicate. Everything I’ve tried in the 27-30% from SC Labs tests has backed up the ridiculous test scores with ridiculous potency.

I understand all that.
So what do you consider ridiculously potent??
How long does the peak high last for with 30%, is it one, two ,three.....hours?
I'm not talking about total length of high, but peak!

Tora bora (2009) was the strongest shit I have smoked(first time I felt a full body high) nothing on me wanted to move.(tried to smoke some befor hitting the night clubs,went to sleep in the car)

Headband/sour kush(2009) now this gave me pneumonia,like really

Grew it perfectly, cured it perfectly, took some to my buddies to smoke,one hit,chest expanded like hulk,my neck felt like it was closed. Let out a big choke,lil smoke came out.

Went home,that's when the sweat set in & the sickness set in..

I always told myself,I like strong smoke,until I smoked some strong smoke.

My personal white whale was my crinkle cut of dutch passion's seeds of DJ short's blueberry circa 2002.

Shit was so much more potent than any BB I've ever had and one of my strongest plants period. When I first harvested some I rolled up a Garcia Vega and took it over my band mates crib and after practice I busted that shit out. I warned everyone that it was super tasty but really fucking strong and of course everyone was all "Oh shit I've smoke some badass shit before so I'm cool..." Well there were like 8 people and only half way through the blunt everyone is dead quite so I look up and they're fuck blasted, lol. They told me to put out the B.

That same bud gave me my first real panic attack. I was 21 at the time and my buddy and I were at his crib chiefing bubblers of that blueberry with kief and playing medal of honor on PS2, next thing I know I felt like I was dying. My heart was racing I was pale as fuck and looked at my buddy and tld him I think he was gonna have to call an ambulance, lol. He was like "fuck that shit bro I'll drag your ass outside and lock the door."

Good times!

i'm not a big believer in more thc, the better the high / stone of a strain is.. there's over 100 different cannabinoids in cannabis, and thc is but one, and the percentage of each and their relationship with each other, as well as the person smoking it has a bigger effect than just a high thc percentage imvho..
here's a link for some of the more common cannabinoids and what their medicinal effect is..

Hilarious!!!!

I remember about 2010 , I had this strain from a friend. A cross of Big Island widow x sour diesel. All the ladies were very strong, but one I just couldn't bring myself to smoke much.
First time I hit it, I was leaving to pick my son up from school. I usually took a rip before I went to pick him up. Well I started tripping super hard on the way, when I got there, I couldn't get out of my car to go get him!! It was raining, and this shit wasn't backing off!!!! So, I had to go get him! Only thing I could think of was stand out in the rain and hopefully it mellows it some. Well I had to stand out in the rain for 10 minutes and finally I was able to go in and get him!!

So much goes into the high of strain beyond simply THC. And IMO, how long a high lasts likely has more to do with terpenes than the overall THC percentage. All I know is, anything over 25%, if I take more than a couple tiny hits I’m uncomfortably high.

More about terpenes??
Terpenes play a role in the high, but not that much. They contribute to the initial affect that starts the high. The smell alerts your mind of what's coming, and your palate also communicates with you mind as well.
They do mix with THC, as well as esters, other cannabinoids, and other compounds.
The lengthof the peak of a high is very indicative of the potency! A high that hits hard then is over in a half hour is not what I would call potent.
So if a strain makes you feel uncomfortable for a bit then turn and goes away, I don't call that ridiculously potent.
Ridiculous potency is a strain that doesn't let up no matter what you do. You could be dead tired, take a hit of some serious potent herb, and you are wide awake wondering why you took that hit!!!
It's almost like you lost your mind temporarily!
And that feeling I have had lasts hours.
That just my take on my experiences with ridiculously potent ganja!

Many terpenes actually effect how THC is absorbed. Why do some strains kick in really quickly? Why do some sneak up on you? Myrcene in particular is believed to lead to a longer lasting high, that’s why the urban legend about eating mangoes enhancing a high exists.

You’re also vastly undervaluing the effect of terpenes and other cannabinoids on the high. Many terpenes found in cannabis are psychoactive in their own right. I’m a big believer in the entourage effect of cannabis. There’s a reason why THC distillate just produces a shitty, speedy and short high.

I’ve also personally never found cannabis that produced a short but strong high. IME the peak almost always lasts between 2 - 4 hours. I’ve never found that stronger weed or more THC meant being higher longer.

So those strains you are talking about will last 6 hours total??

And you are pretty much saying what I just said.
I have eaten plenty of mango's while smoking, it does nothing more.

And if terpenes were such a huge part of the high, then those terpene rich sauce, rosin......would be super potent!!
Which they are not.
I have smoked tons of concentrates, the high is strong but short. Some with claims of over 90% THC!
Now I am a terpene lover, as that is what I breed for , because I love smell and taste the most!
But terpenes, as important as they are, don't have the majority of affect. It is the synergistic affect of all compounds!

Gorilla bubble was bred for pain relief and to ease muscle spasms. Yes it does get that high if grown right mainly due to the insane resin production. Nothing tweaky or paranoid about it.

That's the kind of high I like! When you're just sitting there like "fuck! I'm stoned"
