Are there really strains with 30% thc?

Hell no, I don't want GMO weed, i'm just showing you that the scene is changing, I would never buy GMO plants even for my veggie garden.
Thank you!

As to the last 4 decades, what happened was some studies came out that showed us the active ingredient was THC and folks jumped on it. Breeding high THC pot with tolerance issues which was great for the sellers. Thankfully the CBD oil thing happen and now every one is scrambling to breed em back in. In the mean time more studies being done on the entourage effect of all the ingredients leading to a better understanding.

I got a NYCD X OG Kush going right now along with a 70's Skunk X Afghan you are welcome to drop by and have a smell 8)
As I said I don't doubt you bro. I know you wouldn't be saying that for nothing but to hear plants that stink are unhappy is new for me and I was just wondering about the science of it and I think that's what st0w was getting at. It goes against all what I would say most of us know but don't doubt you one bit.

You are silly, the more legal it becomes the more larger the breeding operations will be, legalization has changed the cannabis scene, even companies like Monsanto are getting involved.

https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/that-strong-stuff-why-is-cannabis-now-so-diff

50-70% more THC content now than in the 70s.
Ummmmm, this is not the first time it has been legal.

Cannabis has been used for thousands, hear that, thousands of years dude. Its silly to think that its gotten better in the last few years.

Bro the majority of the buds until recently came from mexico and south America, they weren't growing for quality they were growing for quanitity ala Mexican brick weed,aka schwag.
Mexican weed is not scwagg. I grow them all the time.

What makes Mexican brick bad is the early cutting, packing it into tires and what not and shipping across the boarder. Breaking it down multiple times through multiple dealers.

Grow those seeds out and see what you get.

I use the word happy, because folks understand what it means, but I agree that plants have no emotions so prolly not actually happy. Tis better to say zero stress and another way would be to list things they don't like as in things that cause them to stink. If you simply eliminate these things well then they stop stinkin it really is that easy.

The 2 biggies are unnatural pressures caused by intake/outtake fans, filters and such and that get those lights as close as you can mentality

They do have emotions. Hook your mom up to a lie detector and start cutting clones. Leave those clones by her til they root and take them away while she is hooked up to the lie detector and watch her cry both times

Not trying to be rude but this is simply wrong, over the last 40+ years humans have selectively bred cannabis to bring out the most THC. The cannabis we grow today is a lot different than the cannabis of yesteryear, a good similarity is dog breeding, humans selectively bred grey wolfs and we got hundreds of dog breeds from it. We have intervened on natural selection so cannabis has changed dramatically and the more time we have with legalization the more radically the cannabis we grow will change. The next step that has already been started is the sequencing and modifying of the genotype aka GMO weed, and to think farmers of yesteryear didn't know how to grow crops is a little silly.
I'm not saying that people that had been growing for thousands of years didnt know how to grow it but a lot of weed that was grown in that era in North America was grown by inexperienced growers growing seeds found in bags of weed. Maybe im wrong...

And perhaps the strong landrace I have grown from Ace seeds were not so landrace....

I've had good green Mexican weed that wasn't compressed. Sure, is isn't schwag, but regardless of how much you pamper a pure Mexican strain it's not very potent and it doesn't taste good. Unless you want that kind of pot I don't see why anyone would bother growing pure Mex unless they don't have access to anything else.

I've grown seeds from bricks of weed, they aren't the strongest genetics, that's how I got started growing found some seeds in some and thought hey I wonder what would happen....the Mexican might make a nice plant but it lacks frost bigtime aka low thc/cbd/cannabinoids.

He is right. To much thc by itself can will and does cause illicit psychological effects.
Ever get paranoid when your super blitzed?
THC means nothing. THC by itself is a horrible drug with horrible side effects.

Its more about how the 60+ cannabinoids work together.
You guys ever smoke dabs? Most good dabs are like 90%+ THC content. Here's some dabs I made from some gorilla glue#4

I wouldn't consider Ace's "landraces" to be true landraces untouched by man, some work has been done on those, true landraces are a dying breed, too many people trading seeds to the farmers that grew them for many years and new genetics get introduced and no more landrace :( the strain hunter guys do it all the time go watch some of their videos of them destroying the worlds landrace population.
