The move signals a shift for Boehner, who once said that he was "unalterably opposed" to legalizing marijuana.

They did not have high-grade weed to sell in the 1930's! Are you reading my comments with discernment? I doubt it!

I think the mega-potent strains may soon represent the norm, if not already?the market selects for potency.But with customers clamoring for the strong stuff, there's also a question of whether manufacturers are labeling accurately. A Denver Post investigation last year found wide discrepancies between labeling and THC content?in many cases, products advertised a much higher percentage of THC than an edible product actually contained.
And? What's your point?
Stronger weed? Smoke less for same result. There - Easy.
Are you actually clueless or are you being intentionally obstinate?
No I am not but you seem to underestimate the average person is not going to smoke less to achieve a high. Plus the effects of hybrids of THC can then overwhelm the user and cause harm to society at large.
You do not build a resistance to THC to achieve the same high thus it can cause unknow effects.
Hopefully, you pot heads could drive an autonomous electric auto soon!

?I see people walk in all the time saying, ?Give me the strongest thing you have,?? says Tim Cullen, co-owner of Evergreen Apothecary, which runs two retail marijuana stores in Colorado. ?It?s bizarre ? Can you imagine being in a liquor store and having someone say, ?Just give me your strongest stuff?? But for now, that?s what a lot of people seem to want.?
And marijuana growers have clearly been working to meet the demand. Robert MacCoun, a behavioral scientist at U.C. Berkeley who has studied drug policy here and abroad, calls it an ?arms race,? in which growers strive to create the highest-octane varieties, and then bestow awards on themselves at the annual Cannabis Cup competition.

Serf, It seems we will continue to be at odds with this, and any further interaction will only tend to exacerbate negative feelings, so I will retire from this discussion.
You have your 1930's prohibitionist attitude, which is solidly based in racism (research Harry Anslinger..... [:D] ).
I do not.
Have an Outstanding Day!

Yeah, the government needs to pacify everybody as they walk down the golden road to see the wizard. The Great Wizard with smoke and fire! The Charlatan!

That's you, serf, nobody else, every two months telling us how everything is going to go to Hades TOMORROW because the banana crop failed in Honduras and jungle warfare will spread up through Mexico and how the Post Office is going to take on the Marine Corps.
And now you're lecturing us about delusional, psychotic behavior and thinking.

Nope the sky isn't falling but legalising another recreational drug crutch under the guise of medication is a farce. Always will be.
The Hybrid form of marijuana now produced is too powerful to give out like candy to the public.

https://www.medicaldaily.com/what-skunk-cannabis-highly-potent-marijuana-could-damage-white-matter-brain-363276
?Skunk-like? cannabis refers to high potency marijuana that contains a larger amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compared to around a decade ago. In fact, ?skunk-like? marijuana products high in THC are thought to be the most common form of cannabis in the United Kingdom.
?We found that frequent use of high potency cannabis significantly affects the structure of white matter fibers in the brain, whether you have psychosis or not,? said Dr. Paola Dazzan, reader in neurobiology of psychosis from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, in a statement. ?This reflects a sliding scale where the more cannabis you smoke and the higher the potency, the worse the damage will be. There is an urgent need to educate health professionals, the public and policymakers about the risks involved with cannabis use.?0 -

Yeah I see the position you're coming from.No data and no information to refute how harmful these hybrid high potency strains are for Marijuana Users like yourself.

This dank bud boasts an insanely high average THC level between 20-23% and offers hard-hitting effects that make the user act like they actually have brain damage. These potent effects kick in after one or two hits of this bud, leaving you with insanely droopy red eyes and a super heavy couch-lock that leaves you immovable, introspective, and sedated. This effect can last for hours and can leave you nonresponsive even when someone is directly talking to you, and users are often found in a blissful state of undisturbed sleep. Due to these heavy indica effects, Brain?s Damage is a perfect strain for treating patients suffering from insomnia, night terrors, chronic pain, and migraines. Brain?s Damage buds have medium-sized insanely dense dark olive green nugs with dark purple undertones and a spattering of thin twisty dark amber hairs. These nugs are dusted with almost translucent trichomes and are absolutely dripping with sweet syrupy resin. This bud has an intoxicating aroma of freshly picked tropical fruit and a taste of sweet earthy fruit with a hint of sharp pine...0 -

So true. Then restate what someone said again.Ie; Don't use if you are CDL or CWP or any other profession that will test you.

More people die every year from Vending Machines falling on them (avg 4/yr) than from Marijuana Use (0 per year, since the dawn of medical documentation).
Methinks some folks time would be better spent trying to ban vending machines.

The number of drivers involved in fatal crashes in Colorado who tested positive for marijuana has risen sharply each year since 2013, more than doubling in that time, federal and state data show. A Denver Post analysis of the data and coroner reports provides the most comprehensive look yet into whether roads in the state have become more dangerous since the drug?s legalization.
Increasingly potent levels of marijuana were found in positive-testing drivers who died in crashes in Front Range counties, according to coroner data since 2013 compiled by The Denver Post. Nearly a dozen in 2016 had levels five times the amount allowed by law, and one was at 22 times the limit. Levels were not as elevated in earlier years.
Last year, all of the drivers who survived and tested positive for marijuana use had the drug at levels that indicated use within a few hours of being tested, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, which compiles information for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?s Fatality Analysis Reporting System.0 -

Probably not. But after 3 decades playing in the s***hole my study was complete.
Do I trust government? Their numbers? Over what I saw and treated?
No.
