I'll be the judge of that

    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..

    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.

    My friend also started to get affected by anxiety until she found a strain or 2 that had more noticeable amounts of cbg or CBN

    Not sure if they will work for you but also according some stoners you gotta pay attention to the terpenes if you start to react unhappily to the strains you are using.

    Anyone serious could tell you this, minor cannabinoids like CBC and even a small amount of CBD potentiate the high. It's a balancing game though, because in excess CBD will substantially reduce the high

    The most disappointing experience regarding weed for me was when it first became legal here and I started going to dispensaries, I found a jar of 100% pure THC. Thought it would get me so, so high.... It basically did fuck all by itself. But sprinkled over an actual bowl of flower, it got you stoned greater than the bud by itself. So even before I ever saw any studies showing the synergies between the cannaboids and terpenes and other chemicals in the plant can make you feel all kinds of differences vs a concentrate I had anecdotal evidence that had to be the case.

    I aim for 16-22%. Above that is annoying.

    For a concentrate, I find anywhere between 70 and 80% is the sweet spot. For flower, I can't even find shit less than 30% unless it's the super cheap bags of shake.

    I'm in Seattle. We can get anything from 1:1::CBD:THC or 1:1:1:::CBD:CBN:THC. The concentration on those goes way down, depending on the potency of the flower. For straight THC stuff, 16% is as low as I can find, and that's usually indica strains. 30% and better is available, but most of our stuff sits in the 22-28% range, at least at my local shop.

    I'm also someone who smokes a quarter of a joint, saves it, and I come back for more later. Potency isn't really the problem when I do it that way since I just stop when I'm high enough. :)

    I smoke the same way when I am alone and not needing to pass a bowl/joint around that keeps going until ash. Take a hit every couple of hours most of the time. I have my own sweet spot of highness that soothes my anxiety, makes my body feel groovy, and quiets my mind but doesn't make me so completely braindead I become unfunctional. 🤣

  • Weed sucks now. They breed it for thc and something got lost along the way. It straight up does not get you as stoned as ot did 20 years ago. And yes I've had some top grade shit.

    yes, it's noticeable that even a higher quantity of the same weed won't make you any higher after a certain point. especially if you have somewhat of a tolerance.
