This is something I've been interested in for a while. I'll be looking for follow up posts on this. I was a stoner for most of the 1970s and 80s. I quit because it wasn't fun anymore, it just made me paranoid and put me to sleep. I've been told that those results are pretty common with pot that's been dry for a while. The different compounds tend to break down and lose potency over time, and that's what happens.
I can't smoke the medical grade stuff, it's to potent for this lightweight. 1 hit messes me up too much and causes a body reaction. I always liked a mild happy buzz, there's nothing mild about these new hybrids. On the plus side, some hybrids were developed with high CBD content, which makes the oil easier to make, and stronger.
