    That’s fine to have your own opinion but don’t restrict my rights to grow the stickiest of the icky. Sometimes I want to roast a fat joint and be functional. Sometimes I just want to sleep without toking for a half hour. One hit shit absolutely has its place, and with accurate labeling, you can be the judge.

      It’s not opinion, you irresponsible doofus, but verifiable fact at this point - hence the article.

      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.

      That would get cannabis super banned almost instantly after legalization, which would be dumb, counter productive - and irresponsible.

      And if you went around distributing it without clearly informing of it’s THC/CBD ratio and the implications thereof?

      Straight to jail - because it could be a costly, irresponsible form of stupid, that could cause harm to someone else and lasting damage to them - all because “that shit be hype”?

      One year in prison. Same as when selling ethanol. No exceptions.

      “One hit shit”. You mean noisy, loud, tweak head shit. Why not skip a step and go straight to meth? Maybe synthesize a concentrate you can inject straight into your groin even. Call it groinnabis. Smh.

        Say you’ve never been to a legal dispensary without saying you’ve never been to a legal dispensary.

        I’ve been to cannabis dispensaries in five different states. Never have I ever seen anything sold without clear labeling of the THC/CBD ratio (as well as listing percentages of various other terpenes), but also every container features a warning about health risks. The high potency products I’ve bought all contain labels that specifically highlight their strength, and warn about an increased risk of psychosis.

        Yeah, it would be nice if there could be more specific information on the labels, or a unified authority across the US to enforce standards across states. Unfortunately, anti-cannabis zealots have done well to hold back research by keeping cannabis illegal, while simultaneously using lack of research as a reason for keeping it illegal.

        The anti-weed agents are out in full force these days. Dishonest pieces of shit! “It’s weed, so you might as well do meth.” Get out of here, narc. This is what they have to do to hurt marijuana.

        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.
