tehWrapper comments on Cannabis is getting stronger, but doubling THC dose doesn’t get you twice as ‘high’

It gives me twice as much anxiety. I stopped using it because the risk of anxiety was increasing with just a few small hits, it used to take smoking all day to even risk triggering anxiety for me. Old man weed from weaker stuff decades back was perfect for me. Oh well.

I'm not sure why no one grows or stocks any low grade weed. I don't want super weed..

I've seen ads for at least one company that does this. Dad Weed or something along those lines.

I think someone should find wild cannabis in Southeast Asia and just start over. The stuff today is messed up.

There's definitely low grade options, like shake, and past that there are varying THC levels and turpines. Every shop I've been to has at least a dozen options to choose from, and most have way more than that.

Most dispensaries these days do have weaker products, often sold as CBD forward strains for sleep or stress. But the vast majority of people do just smoke less of the stronger weed. If you are taking small, shallow hits and not holding it in and it's giving you anxiety, weaker weed probably won't be any different, versus just looking for a mellower strain. There are definitely some pure Sativa strains which reliably spike my heart rate and make me crash out.
