    I said it should be tested and labeled properly so consumers can make their own decisions. The article sucks, it’s not “verifiable fact”. Hit me with those peer reviewed studies in a journal worth a shit if it’s such a fact.

    You can’t prevent people from growing it themselves at home no, but selling high grade over the counter? Heeeell no. Not in my country.

    You want people who would like to use strong cannabis have to go to the black market instead of buying something tested and labeled over the counter and making an informed decision.

      Are you in full honest making the argument equivalent to “people should only drink beer and wine. Even imagining spirits is equivalent to jumping off a bridge”?

      They could grow it themselves and not distribute it without telling people what it contained…

      This is why high grade is bad, because it impedes ones reading retention - apparently.

        Do you realize how complex proper sampling is, or expensive the testing is? Ideally you’re also going to be looking for bacterial and fungal growth as well. I see no reason that high potency cannabis - also the most efficient in terms of energy for light/cooling, water usage, fertilizer usage per quantity THC - shouldn’t be commercially available, tested to pharmaceutical standards, and regulated to permit users to make responsible decisions.

        Arguing for low potency cannabis is forcing others to be wasteful because you can’t regulate your own consumption. I don’t get absolutely stupid with strong weed or extracts, it’s just nice to not have to smoke an entire gram joint before bed. A few hits is all I need.

          Grow… it… yourself… but do not distribute WITHOUT… informing… of THC content…

          Got that, cookie? Does it enter into your skull? Do you understand why? Of course not.

          Do you ignore the article because it doesn’t suit your agenda? Yes. Are you a licensed neurologist? No. Are you a licensed therapist? No. Do you understand why it’s a problem? No. Do you care? No. Are you a selfish little goblin? Yes…
