Back in the day smoking pot didn't lead to fisticuffs, today even less so.
Today's marijuana - what's the deal?

Funny, I nearly killed myself twice, almost got shot by cops, had my arm dislocated, had half my face bloodied up, spent a month in a mental hospital, and spent over a year on Psych drugs where I was sleeping for 15 minutes a night and contemplated killing myself on a daily basis..... I will admit that the Psych drugs were to blame more than the THC but THC was what started it all. Of course the weed defenders will say it was laced or I'm full of crap but somehow that didn't happen to the other 3 guys that smoked the exact same thing. The truth is that, as has been mentioned, the brain is a complex organ and we don't really understand it. When you're polluting it with foreign substances you simply don't know what's going to happen. Just cause 10000 other people smoke daily and are fine doent mean you'll be fine. I learned this the VERY hard way. Some people smoke weed and it relaxes them and calms them, some people smoke and have panic attacks. We really don't understand the exact way in which it effects the mind. The same goes for most Psych drugs too though. Pharmaceutical companies promote the crap out of the drugs cause they make big money off them but the thousands of side effects get swept under the rug and it was never proven that people with mental issues have any sort of chemical imbalance in their brain to begin with so how is boosting this neurotransmitter or suppressing another one curing them? 100 years from now people will look back at psychiatr now and ttoday's practices will seem like the lobotomies of 100 years ago.

The human brain is the most complex device in the known universe, yet it is an imperfect one. Our memory is unreliable and of limited capacity, our actions are influenced by a host of arbitrary and irrelevant factors. Neurons and synapses and computational elements that are remarkably well suited for certain tasks are poorly suited for others. The brain's limitations and flaws have a wide range of consequences, from simple illusions to annoying memory glitches to irrational decisions whose effects can be either innocuous or fatal. This needs daily impairment. Long term effects are of no concern today.
Irrelevant...youre still a t w a t
Considering you haven't smoked since before i was born you definitley wont have anything to contribute to a thread comparing weed now and from 20something years ago... im stating that weed today isnt 'hardcore'

OK - you're the weed master - wear your crown with pride.
I know nothing about today's weed and made that clear in my post - you know nothing about weed strength 20+ years ago. I was just looking for info on why / when weed got so much more potent.
You could use some of the old stuff - chill out.

Sorry not trying to be the weed master by any means. Just stating an opinion.

Looks like your memory's still good. Sorry about hurting your feelings a couple threads ago.
Yeah I had some kid try to sell me some of that shatter stuff. When I declined he thought it was just because I didn't trust it's potency so tried to get me to try it. No thanks. Not gonna smoke something you made in your bathtub or whatever that I had never heard of until 5 minutes ago.

The psych drugs were to blame...YEA, for ****ing up your psychology you dumbass. Weed was just your "gateway drug" excuse.
Same thing happened to my cousin, smoked here with me then went away for uni and had roommates ****ing around with chemical **** and tried it with them then went a little looney. Had a week long episode where he just lost it and was in the psych ward acting like ****tard thinking everyone was out to get him, looking at him blah blah blah. I wanted to ****ing slap him, everyone in my family knew I smoked weed and he was making me look bad.
I've been reading this **** right as I'm hitting my vaporizer and all these posts are so hilarious.
Sorry man but take away all the psych meds and I would have STILL ended up in the psych ward and crawling up the walls, almost getting shot, etc. from just the hash. The psych drugs ****ed up my recovery and made it a 1+ year process, gave me sleep issues, made me feel out of it for months after, etc. but it was the hash, yes, just the hash that brought on a manic episode for me. No "chemical" ****. Sorry.
I've seen this before. Twice. Two different friends. Go easy on him Jason, it's for real.
We got underway in 1967. I've seen a lot. The two I referenced, had smoked hash. (couple years apart).
Both needed an ambulance & time in the hospital. They've each done several stints in the psyche wards.
One so much as electro shock therapy.
Here's what's left of him..........let me introduce...... Carl (this is serious lol, but you need to know him)

It could have been the hash or depending on how the hash was processed/made it could have been residual contaminants from butane or isopropyl alcohol.I would avoid concentrates or extracts for this reason alone. FWIW vacuum purging isn't 100%
Roasted you might just have a body chemistry that just does not play well with THC everybody is different
Have tried CO2 extracts taste was ***** js.

He's talking about smoking hash. Not shatter. Not oil. What kind of hash contains butane or 99?

I have been told that plenty of the bubble bag and dry has a good portion of oil to help in "bricking up"

LOL, that was hilarious...I didn't know whether to laugh at him or feel bad.
For some reason it reminded me of the time my buddy made his dad a omelette using hash oil to coat the pan and weed butter on his toast. This guy is a 55 year old daily whiskey drink, like getting ****ed up daily, never really experimented with anything else but some tobacco and a little opium in his youth. After his meal the man was WRECKED!! Didn't go to work for two days, it was a good thing his wife wasn't there or she'd have whooped em both.
You know I'm a connoisseur of this **** and couldn't believe how bad it could be so just had to go see for myself...Dude was laid out on the couch mumbling to himself twirling his fingers doing weird ****, had eaten 4 large pizzas throughout the day (only weighs 150lbs) and was begging like a mumbling crackhead for us to go buy him a bottle like that would help his situation.
We couldn't help but laugh our ***** off looking at him. Second day he pretty much slept 20 hours straight. Having been doing it for nearly 10 years we were amazed at what an intense buzz he got and wondered how we'd have been if we got the stuff now back in our highschool days.
I was a smoker from my teens untill late 40s,at the end when i smoked i was paranoid,I thought it was just the weed so got rid of that stuff and tried again,same thing,everyone i talked to said my body was sending me a message,i will still take a puff or 2 but thats it,my answer to the op is the weed growers got the thc levels to a higher level about 10 years ago,the stuff is killer now.

Breeding is why things have changed. Hybrids of super high THC plants.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid
Types
All classes derive from cannabigerol-type compounds and differ mainly in the way this precursor is cyclized.[SUP][10][/SUP] The classical cannabinoids are derived from their respective 2-carboxylic acids (2-COOH) by decarboxylation (catalyzed by heat, light, or alkaline conditions).[SUP][11][/SUP]
Weed is known to cause people who have a natural predisposition to mental health issues to have problems. Roasted is more than likely one of those types of people. Its good that he knows what it could do to him. Some people are killed by a peanut. Shouldn't be illegal to have peanut butter. Also having something called "hash" does not guarantee in any way how it was made or processed. Purity is a common problem that is caused by drug dealers not making sure their clients aren't ingesting pollutants. Colorado is the new Amsterdam..

THC levels can be 50-100 times stronger than yesterday's weeds. I would be considered a heavy user, by anyone's standard... and have been for some time.... Long enough to be able to have an opinion about it. There are real differences in the weeds you can get now vs 20 years ago. Getting paranoid is not uncommon... I do some times, but not usually. If someone is ending up in the hospital... I'd say there is something else going on.. and was not just because of the weed... Although the weed could have, probably did, add to or brought out the issue(s)... Not the first time I've heard of someone going 'loopy'... but in every incident I know of... the person always had separate issues.
I've never had a single mental issue, ever, not even a hint of anxiety. Also, haven't had any issues since (well, other than stuff caused by the psych drugs, doing great since I got off those)......although my ex would probably tell you that she's convinced I have narcissistic personality disorder lol
EDIT: But I get what you're saying.....yeah, I probably have some sort of a genetic pre-disposition. I agree with that.

you can still ride a motorcycle made in the 60s or 70s right? but most people think the new bikes are better. technology and know how. the difference is the growers and equipment. you can still just throw some seeds in your backyard and smoke whatever pops up sometime but nowadays there are many expert growers using top of the line equipment that simply wasn't available back then.
the population is larger than ever, and more food needs to be produce. the fruit/vegetable/plant growing equipment is better and so are the growers.
