I commented this awhile back (of course) and was pleased to see my reddit data recognize my title. It was like, clearly based on comment history she IS the clit commander.
Dude, kids weed these days is on a whole nother level. What happened to just smoking a joint, eating a Twinkie, and going to bed? Now you gotta meet your spirit guides and travel to andromeda and back. Shits wild.
Dude, holy shit no kidding. About 5 years ago I had some friends over, mixed Gen Z, Millennial crowd, and I took a single hit off a bowl and holy shit I thought I took acid. I hadn’t smoked since like ‘01, so I knew it would be stronger than usual, but that was crazy. No way I could function on the shit kids get these days. No wonder that shit is like $100/gram or whatever.
I’m sure I probably got the price wrong, that also would have been the height of COVID, so no clue if that’s what they were actually paying, or they were just fucking with me. But, I am in a state where full spectrum is illegal, so it’s possible that was why it was so expensive? Dunno.
Nah, think I’m good with the occasional THC/CBD cocktail from Total Wine. Being an astronaut is fun in your 20s, but holy shit I’m 44, I can’t be visiting Wonderland on the regular and shit 🤣. I’ve got too much to do.
If you take THC CDB cocktails you’re missing out on terpenes and other cannabinoids. Even just vaping fresh frozen concentrates gives you a better high with less THC. the high from just the and CBD kinda sucks. It’s not like liquor where the only thing that has an effect is alcohol percentage.
Yeah, sadly not in a state where we have full spectrum available legally. Fun when I’m visiting friends on vacation, but locally I’m stuck with just CBD/THC. Of course we’ll see if that stays legal by this time next year.
Believe it or not you can get some THCa vape pens that are really good and legal in most illegal states until the end of 2026. One of the better brands in Maine’s craft hash market started selling their products as THCA recently. Technically all of this modern hash is THCa because it has never been heated up. If you’re currious I can ask around and find you better options than your local smoke shop or gas station.
If you just took a hit off a bowl, that was just average dispensary flower, likely around $40 an eighth.
The expensive stuff is highly-concentrated oils and resins, which are either sold in vape cartridges or require a special contraption to smoke (i.e. you don't just pack them into a bowl).
We've got "session n beers" nowadays, why can't we get some "session weed". I want to just sit on the porch and smoke a whole J without having to see God.
100% this! I'm THC sensitive and gave up weed years ago. Always missed the flavors and smoking a J every now and then tho. Ended up looking for weak weed and went down the rabbit hole in r/hempflowers. Discovered there's tons of people like me who can't use the strong stuff. A nice type 2 1:1 strain or type 3 high cdb strain is so chill and exactly what I was I looking for.
The problem is actually the legalization. Nowadays, there’s a bazillion different strains and everything is “scientific” with these legal weed suppliers.
like weed on steroids, with how they’re manufacturing these strains in labs.
Back in the day, weed was just weed. You bought it off your friend, after high school let out.
No one knew where it came from, it had seeds and stems and all kinds of shit. It was just mellow, and took a little edge off.
Now, it gets me so zooted, it puts the edge ON. I can’t do todays weed. I took an edible a few years ago and I went on a 15 hour trip somewhere. Completely left my body.
1 small hit and hold it in is also an option. A gentle float. Not even 'high.' An 8th is like a 6 week thing for me now, and I only dry herb vape. Love it.
People smoking blunts and joints and bong rips of this incredibly strong stuff blow my mind. I did a dab once it was like bad acid and a Percocet at the same time.
That’s exactly what would happen to me if I ever smoked again, which I won’t. I quit years ago. My wife still smokes all day everyday. I remember in high school sometimes we would get the Schwab from the picture, but the school I went to, you could get some really good bud.
Where I grew up, you could splurge on KB or "kine bud" which was basically just indoor instead of outdoor grown, and was a lot more comparable to what you'd find today. But it was always like 3-4 times as expensive. Where I lived, you could get regular bud for $25/quarter or the KB for $15/gram, $100/quarter. But I also lived in a really small town and prices were based on the fact that that someone had to cross a state line to get it.
For kind bud, you’d be looking at anywhere from $35-$50 an 1/8. It was typically killer stuff too. I grew up in an affluent town. My family wasn’t affluent, but many families were.
Same here. We basically had two choices - you’d either pay some rich kid named Eddie $45 for the good stuff, or meet a shady Mexican dude behind the pool hall for baggie of dirt.
When you got those deals, it was law that you had to sell that discounted 1/4 at regular price, then go back and buy another one. That ten bucks would put a half-tank of gas in your car.
I haven't regularly smoked or bought weed since around '97. There weren't a whole lot of variety to buy back then. Sometimes people would have what we called skunk buds (the good stuff) or some other exotic sounding name (fire buds, purple haze), but usually it ranged from schwag to brick weed to average looking buds. We just bought whatever was available.
I was done smoking by the time I started hearing people talk about kind/kine weed, but I do remember hearing that the price about doubled for a bag.
Right? Now it’s all grams and shit. When I go to the dispo I wish I could ask for a dime bag of highs and an eighth of mids. But no, I’ve gotta order 7 grams of mint cookie cush
I was talking about picking up a $20 sack when I was younger and my Gen Z coworker asked how much it was, and I told them it was $20 worth of brick weed.
You can still buy weed just like that in the stores. That's why they mark the THC content. That way you can still smoke a joint and not get completely blasted, except it still tastes high quality.
Please do yourself a favor, and do not equate THC% with potency; it is MUCH more complicated than that. The weed today is *not* stronger (for the most part). The difference is that everyone has access to much better weed. The "shit" weed that we have today, all of us, is what rockstars were smoking at the best of times in the 70s (to put it in the simplest terms. It's, again, much more complicated than that, but that's the basics of it).
I agree with the THC % thing you mentioned. I grow my own indoor and outdoors so I don't really mess with dispensary stuff it's mostly garbage. Most of the high percentage weed i try from the stores rarely has the kick of what a 30 something percentage THC should. Much of it has no sticky icky or crystals and I like my weed covered in frost and sticky icky icky. I'll take a low 20s% weed with a true and proper cure all every day before any top shelf store bought.
1970’s bud had around 1-3% thc, 1990~5% to up to around 25% nowadays.
Also, all of the bullshit I hear and see surrounding the other chemicals in them “this on is high is x which is good for y” is not scientifically validated in the slightest and is pure made up marketing.
But again, you’re still equating THC% to potency. Which is just plain and simply not how it works. You can say “oh it’s all just marketing, I know better than the people who literally deal with this shit for a living”, but study after study just proves you wrong. Terpenes, along with other cannabinoids play a MASSIVE role. This is all part of why Marinol never took off
I’m not sure what your expertise is in, I’m a physician and I prescribe Marinol all the time in the hospital with good effect. Not sure what you mean by that it didn’t help.
I’m not sure what you are missing, THC, the major psychoactive component of marijuana, has a higher THC percent by a huge amount, and that is the actual definition of potency.
Sure you can make an argument for entourage effects having something to do with it and I’ll agree, but I’ll also say all of the other terlene compounds have been selected for and are present in higher amounts just like THC thus making it more potent.
What i was saying is malarkey is how assuredly people claim x terpene has y effect when data shows it doesn’t quite work like that.
But without a doubt, and in all things measured, marijuana Is hugely more potent today.
Perhaps you can explain what you think potency means if not literally meaning a higher percentage present of the main psychoactive chemical?
Well, I was going to an asterisk next to THC, but I didn't feel like getting into the granular specifics of weed. You're right, but all I'm saying is there's "lightweight" strains because not everyone wants to get blasted as they did as a teen. Older adults prefer more moderation.
Oh, it still exists, and can be acquired for about $100-200/lb, looks as bad as it smells but it’ll conjure up those days of smoking cheap compressed brick weed nicely for nostalgia’s sake 😉
Precisely why, after smoking about 1/2 oz, I decided it was better split up and given away to anyone who wanted it, I could deal with the loss to experiment, but my lungs didn’t appreciate the cruel joke 🤣
Yeah I enjoy the act of smoking. I think weed tastes and smells good and blowing out the smoke is relaxing. But now it’s way too strong for that. Just one good hit has me higher than if i had smoked a whole joint or fat bowl of the shit I smoked in high school. Of course my tolerance is pretty low now but still
I grow my own and you can choose how much thc, cbd and taste it will have. Much better than back in the days. We also used to mix it with tabacco like the dutch do, but it's just better to smoke it pure.
You can buy CBD flower and blend it with your THC flower. The CBD counteracts the intensity of the high. Kind of like L-Theanine in tea counteracts the caffeine.
I stayed at an Airbnb back in the spring and did weed delivery for the first time. It blew my damned mind that not only can I just buy weed legally, I can have it freakin’ delivered.
Seriously. If I told that shy girl who bought her first dime bag from Jenn the cheerleader in Mr H’s room sophomore year of HS that this is the world we live in now, she’d be very surprised. :) and happy. Definitely happy. Hahah.
lol yes my friend lives next door to a dispensary and it's like every time you spend $15 or something they will throw in an extra 1g pre-roll joint for $0.02
ha! My favorite dispensary has bags that give me that feeling too. I love it.
For the people wanting weak weed like back in the day, dispensaries have menus with the THC percentage. Get lower THC and higher CBD if you don't want to space walk. If you can't drink alcohol anymore because it affects you differently now, then try weed man. If you live in a legal area it's so awesome. There are so many things to get blasted and the potency is amazing now. I highly suggest RSO (rick simpson oil) if you really want to get the highest you ever have or ever will.
That was the schwag pricing. We eventually got "good shit" I remember it was $20 a gram $50 1/8th. You can buy an oz of good shit today for like $100 or so.
This is right I am a former small time chronic dealer. These prices are on point. However early or mid 90s the schwag was if I recall. 20 dollars for an 1/8 to 1/4 depending on many factors.
Now I just grow my own outdoors in remote places like Mr.Miyagi.
This is why I love dispensaries. Waiting around for your friends big brother to show up was so annoying on a Sunday afternoon when you just want to get stoned and couch rot.
From the comments I’m realizing that relative to other areas we’ve always had good weed readily available in the PNW. This would’ve been shwag weed back in the day… like something you might get off a shady street dealer. BC weed was the generic/plain bud around Portland in the 90s.
I know Lou Bega is fifty, because he was born the same year as I; the instrumental remix he sang over was around the same age when he used it for that absolute earworm.
I was going to, I Swear! Life happens, man. Then you end up finding them 20 years later just to have that same thought. They are still there to this day.
Hah, I'd save them up and plant them out in the woods. Never really went back to check on them, deer probably ate anything that grew. But at the time I imagined some other stoner walking through the woods and just stumbling on a 6 foot tall pot plant and freaking out.
We had a bridge over a creek in a dense part of town that people would smoke joints at and throw the nubs down at when they were done, and some of them had seeds and plants grew down there. It was one of those legendary places talked about in hushed whispers by us junior high kids.
I’ve experienced both sides of this. I planted seeds in the woods that grew…. until the deer ate the plant. And I’ve been that guy(when working as a surveyor twenty + years ago) that stumbled into a huge plant in the middle of a tree line and could not believe the glorious sight before him.
One fall, I went to a feminist music fest that was held at the same place as a locally well-known stoner/jam band festival. From my parking area alone, I filled my trunk with plants I hoped I could pretend I'd mistaken for buckeye saplings if I should happen to get pulled over. Thank God my acting skills were never called upon.
Hell yeah, keep the resin and when you get enough kief collected at the bottom of your grinder, you mix it on with the resin and have little resin kief balls. Most of the time we didn't want to wait to collect enough kief and just put a little tin foil in the pipe bowl and smoked the newly scraped resin.
I remember those conversations like it was yesterday lol
"Are we out of weed?"
" Yeah but if you get me the pipe, lighter, and a paper clip I can scrape the pipe and get some resin for us."
Good stuff! I used to love stuffing my chamber pipe full of weed and then smoking a bag or two through it. The chamber weed would be all full of resin and more potent. It was a little stoner treat!
I doubt they’re any good though. Plus it came from a batch of some really gnarly stuff. Not even sure I could nurture them enough to get great results with the non existent set up I currently have.
Wish I kept those seeds man. It was grown like shit, but those seeds were heirloom and landrace and would be fire if someone did selection and breeding. 100% Mexican sativa. the plant genes have probably been mostly lost due to modern hybrids taking less time to flower.
My best friend had one of those fall out of his pocket when we took his mom’s car to grab fireworks for the 4th of July. She found them and gave them back to him a few days later saying “Zero Tolerance.” We both chuckled about it b/c apparently there was at least a little tolerance
This is the kind of shit that I “exchanged” to undergrad students, telling them it was from Canada. It was at least 50% twigs and seeds, and I charged exorbitantly. But no one else was had any, so I made good money off absolute garbage like this.
Had a friend once who used to get “dirt weed” or “brick weed. No complaints about that. The effects were decent for the time. But he always builds everything up too much. No matter what he’s got. This was around the time that medical started finding its way out of the big states. A Hydro boom. We were all sitting around smoking in another state. He used to ride with me to visit my ex and her friends. These people had access to the craziest stuff in the country at the time. Not to be “outdone” He unironically starts talking about his hookup, how it was the best ever and how much he could get for everyone. L it was the best ever. They really don’t know who he is, or what kind he’s talking about. So they’re really receptive talking about getting some for their selves or even selling it. At the time I just felt bad, knew it couldn’t end well. But I try not to say anything. This goes on and on until finally start comparing it to what they got. Well they don’t want to be rude but are kind of shocked they been unknowingly considering getting a bunch of dirt weed that probably got passed through their own city because no one would buy it. Of course he got mad at me for “blowing it” for him.
We all had our technique on how to remove/separate the beans. Someone in the crew was always more eager to do it than others. A little grouping of beans in my room was the way I got caught when I was a young teen.
crack generally comes in smaller baggies. easier to hid it in their mouth when selling it. its gross, but if you ever watch dealers of certain drugs, when they make the transaction, they'll generally spit the baggies out of their mouth into their hand, not for all drugs, but just some terrible drugs like crack and other things they can keep in small baggies
I got burned on a 1/4 by a naive underclassman that myself and friends’ dubbed “Satan’s lawnmower scrapings” (you know, the grass mat that accrues in the nooks of the underbelly?) Pure headache.
Half the time kids are calling great NorCal deps and light assist bud “mids” simply because the buds aren’t shaped like golf balls and so dense you could injure someone if you threw it at their head 🤣 I’ve enjoyed greenhouse bags that absolutely killed indoor on smoke, taste, and potency. They’d rather pay twice as much because LOOK IT HAS PURPLE IN IT 🤣🤣🤣
”Rapper weed” mentality totally ruined it for the younger folks. I’ve had people who don’t know crap about quality tell me my personal top shelf stash “looks kinda bad“ because they think buds need specific structure to be potent as they’re smoking PGR chemical garbage that they paid $50 an 1/8th for because it came in fancy packaging like a miniature cereal box 🤣
For the worse my ass. As a Canadian I can go buy an oz of super high thc weed at a weed store anytime I like, or have it delivered to my house. There’s 3 different cannabis stores that are a 10 minute walk from my home. I can sit out on my porch and smoke a big fat doobie and wave to the beat cops walking by. It’s never been a better time to be a pothead.
Ahhhh! I said “brick weed” to my sweet 18 yo stoner tenant and he was like “brick weed?”. Funny thing was, my mom had given me back some just a month before, that she had stolen from me as a teenager. So I was able to show him. He was pretty mind blown.
They were the same bag but different weights usually. One time a guy gave me a compacted quarter for ten bucks on accident. It really felt like a never ending bag. I miss the early 2000's sometimes
I used to spend a good 15 min separating out the seeds and stems. I was also the first of my friends to figure out how to use a cone roller. I made tips out of copy paper too. I figured out the perfect tobacco : shit weed ratio, and would make the mix very homogeneous before rolling to prevent canoes. I would graduate at least 2 or 3 shorties from my spliff certification program at every backyard party I attended in high school. There’s nothing more satisfying than the look of accomplishment in a young adolescent‘s blood shot eyes when they roll their first perfect spliff. I was so proud of them 🥹🫡
That's probably a million miles better than what we had in the UK - soap bar 😂 fuck knows what was in it but at £5 for a Louis (a 16th, half a Henry) the price was right and it had the right effect.
Was diagnosed 7-1/2 years ago with MS and was stoked to get my medical card to get legal weed and 6 months later it was legalized. I love that I can get vape pens now and pre-rolls since my hands don’t work as well anymore to roll myself.
Hell, twenty-year-old me was a huge disappointment to nineteen-year-old me. I had to quit to join the Navy and never really went back. I can count on two hands, with fingers left over, the number of times I have partaken since 05JUL95.
Nowadays, being quasi-retired, I absolutely could, if I wanted to, but I have little desire and even less ability to contend with the shit that's out there now. "Low-Mid" green is more potent than "high-end" was back then... and the "Good Shit" ~~now~~ (2008-ish, the last time I toked) had my ass literally stuck in a corner, too high to function. I'm completely unashamed to admit I can't fucking hang.
I only stopped smoking (briefly) when I moved to China, but even as someone who smokes regularly, some of that shit is simply "weapons grade" and isn't meant for normal humans, haha.
I tried some recently after a 20 yr hiatus, and my first thought the next morning was "wtf happen to jus ole regular dirt weed, I shouldn't take one hit and not be able to function for 3 hrs"
Opposite for me. I have a really hard time smoking it so only occasionally indulged in HS / college. It just grosses me out.
Vaping though, holy shit. I bought myself a nice dry herb vape and it’s incredibly smooth and you can actually taste the flavor of different strains. It’s quite nice.
19yo me would be stoked for 46yo me who moved to Amsterdam. Except the weed isn't as good as American stuff is now, and I've got a real life with real budgets.
Same. My teenage dream has come true beyond my wildest fantasies, but I barely ever smoke. Also, the stuff today is just too powerful. Maybe I’d be more interested if it was more schwaggy, like the weed of olden days.
I remember one time my hook up was out of town so I had to call around and my friend found a guy who had some. I remember he tried to charge me $75 for a bag just like this. Im assuming this guy thought I was a stupid teenager trying to buy weed for the first time and laid him on his ass for trying to rip me off.
I can see the seeds in that bag. I would have negotiated it only if I was desperate. Nothing was worse than getting a bag of swag filled with stems and seeds. I remember telling off a roommate who bought a bag of swag with my last $20 from our shared bathroom when she showed me the bag. 🤣
And now I can just walk into a dispensary. I still find that wild.
Oh wow... a dimebag... havent seen that in forever.
And everyone had that cheap-ass friend who wanted to "split" a dime with you. "I got 5 on that!"
Looks like a ton of seeds in that little guy. By the end of my "smoking career" I had seedless quarter pounds.
But when I was 16? Oh yeah... lots of these.
I think it enhanced the experience in other ways, though. You'd have to go through the weed and pick out all the seeds and stems, and depending on the weed you got, that could take a while. Then you had to roll the blunt and if you wanted to get fancy you ground the weed first, but I always felt that made it burn too fast.
This process took time, which fostered conversation and made it more of an experience than just grabbing a vape pen out of your pocket and instantly toking up. I miss that feeling but the entire experience has been sped up so much so you're high as shit before you even really get settled into your chair.
It was nice to slow down and mellow out, everything is so fast these days.
We used to call this ‘fluffing’ the weed. It took time done right and only at the end would you discover how much smokable material you had harvested from your purchase.
Got hold of some stuff one time and thought it was schwag. Smelled like schwag. Tasted like schwag. Hit it like schwag. It wasn't schwag. Not sure how long I lay on the ground just watching the stars. XD
Got really drunk the other night and did a bong rip with my 26 year old son. My wife had to walk me to bed where I watched the machine elves working on my ceiling. Hoollyy fuck. My boy just kep watching The Good The Bad and The Ugly. I think he’s possessed
Be cautious, if you threw the seeds in your mom's backyard in high school, you were liable to have a few very ugly but identifiable plants popping up if you weren't careful. Not many details escaped my very suspicious mother lol
I’m old enough to remember getting crappy shake in the old black plastic Polaroid film canisters, as well as in the plastic wrap from the dealer’s cigarette package. Small baggies were a luxury we rarely saw 🤣
I remember the first bag of good weed I ever bought. White Widow. Rolled one, sat in my driveway and about half way through i watched a group of people TP the truck in front of the house 2 doors down.
The game has changed for the better tf????? "Man the 90s was the shit for weed!!! Brick weed that tasted like cardboard gave you more of a headache than a high those were the days!" Tf outta here old heads who are like "a dispo is too confusing for me!!!" Are really dumb.
you posted this and my instant reaction was "so?" as if these are still a thing, that's how normalized it is in my brain. and yet, I haven't had a fat sack in ages. i remember when Murda/dro came out and suddenly it was $20 for these bags. that was the beginning of being upsold on everything.
There are people who still smoke rat weed. I swear you walk by some cars and I can smell the burning seeds. Grow up people we got dispensaries. We don’t have to do this anymore.
I preferred it that way. Not being able to find the correct USB charger for my disposable vape pen is the most cyberpunk dystopian bullshit that's ever happened to me.
I lived inI in the 90s, and the weed smelled actually pleasant. Not like this skunk shit. Is that just a me thing? I used to LIKE the way it smelled. Now i fucking hate it, and i cant imagine anyone who smokes it now can actually enjoy having their whole life smell like a dead skunk...

Where tf are you living that it's $100 per gram??
seiggy@reddit
I’m sure I probably got the price wrong, that also would have been the height of COVID, so no clue if that’s what they were actually paying, or they were just fucking with me. But, I am in a state where full spectrum is illegal, so it’s possible that was why it was so expensive? Dunno.

Potential-Ant-6320@reddit
If you take THC CDB cocktails you’re missing out on terpenes and other cannabinoids. Even just vaping fresh frozen concentrates gives you a better high with less THC. the high from just the and CBD kinda sucks. It’s not like liquor where the only thing that has an effect is alcohol percentage.
seiggy@reddit
Yeah, sadly not in a state where we have full spectrum available legally. Fun when I’m visiting friends on vacation, but locally I’m stuck with just CBD/THC. Of course we’ll see if that stays legal by this time next year.
Potential-Ant-6320@reddit
Believe it or not you can get some THCa vape pens that are really good and legal in most illegal states until the end of 2026. One of the better brands in Maine’s craft hash market started selling their products as THCA recently. Technically all of this modern hash is THCa because it has never been heated up. If you’re currious I can ask around and find you better options than your local smoke shop or gas station.
The_Lawn_Ninja@reddit
If you just took a hit off a bowl, that was just average dispensary flower, likely around $40 an eighth.
The expensive stuff is highly-concentrated oils and resins, which are either sold in vape cartridges or require a special contraption to smoke (i.e. you don't just pack them into a bowl).

That’s exactly what would happen to me if I ever smoked again, which I won’t. I quit years ago. My wife still smokes all day everyday. I remember in high school sometimes we would get the Schwab from the picture, but the school I went to, you could get some really good bud.
blasto2236@reddit
Where I grew up, you could splurge on KB or "kine bud" which was basically just indoor instead of outdoor grown, and was a lot more comparable to what you'd find today. But it was always like 3-4 times as expensive. Where I lived, you could get regular bud for $25/quarter or the KB for $15/gram, $100/quarter. But I also lived in a really small town and prices were based on the fact that that someone had to cross a state line to get it.
Sudden_Airport_7469@reddit
For kind bud, you’d be looking at anywhere from $35-$50 an 1/8. It was typically killer stuff too. I grew up in an affluent town. My family wasn’t affluent, but many families were.
BeardedPuffin@reddit
Same here. We basically had two choices - you’d either pay some rich kid named Eddie $45 for the good stuff, or meet a shady Mexican dude behind the pool hall for baggie of dirt.

My dealer gave a break at $40 for 1/4.
TransportationOk657@reddit
Nice you found a good hook-up. Every once in a while we'd get lucky and find someone selling a quarter for $40, but usually it was $50.
Hilsam_Adent@reddit
When you got those deals, it was law that you had to sell that discounted 1/4 at regular price, then go back and buy another one. That ten bucks would put a half-tank of gas in your car.
ScreamThyLastScream@reddit
This later transformed itself with kinder, 20 a gram, 50 an eighth .. obviously if you were a shlubb getting tiny baggies of this stuff
TransportationOk657@reddit
I haven't regularly smoked or bought weed since around '97. There weren't a whole lot of variety to buy back then. Sometimes people would have what we called skunk buds (the good stuff) or some other exotic sounding name (fire buds, purple haze), but usually it ranged from schwag to brick weed to average looking buds. We just bought whatever was available.
I was done smoking by the time I started hearing people talk about kind/kine weed, but I do remember hearing that the price about doubled for a bag.
Trill_McNeal@reddit
Right? Now it’s all grams and shit. When I go to the dispo I wish I could ask for a dime bag of highs and an eighth of mids. But no, I’ve gotta order 7 grams of mint cookie cush

I liked my weed weak enough I could roll and smoke an entire joint on my own. Afterwards I would be high… but not zooted.
CelestialFury@reddit
You can still buy weed just like that in the stores. That's why they mark the THC content. That way you can still smoke a joint and not get completely blasted, except it still tastes high quality.
Due-Cut-2082@reddit
Please do yourself a favor, and do not equate THC% with potency; it is MUCH more complicated than that. The weed today is *not* stronger (for the most part). The difference is that everyone has access to much better weed. The "shit" weed that we have today, all of us, is what rockstars were smoking at the best of times in the 70s (to put it in the simplest terms. It's, again, much more complicated than that, but that's the basics of it).
MassiveYou5221@reddit
I agree with the THC % thing you mentioned. I grow my own indoor and outdoors so I don't really mess with dispensary stuff it's mostly garbage. Most of the high percentage weed i try from the stores rarely has the kick of what a 30 something percentage THC should. Much of it has no sticky icky or crystals and I like my weed covered in frost and sticky icky icky. I'll take a low 20s% weed with a true and proper cure all every day before any top shelf store bought.
AnalOgre@reddit
No, it’s not really.
1970’s bud had around 1-3% thc, 1990~5% to up to around 25% nowadays.
Also, all of the bullshit I hear and see surrounding the other chemicals in them “this on is high is x which is good for y” is not scientifically validated in the slightest and is pure made up marketing.
Due-Cut-2082@reddit
But again, you’re still equating THC% to potency. Which is just plain and simply not how it works. You can say “oh it’s all just marketing, I know better than the people who literally deal with this shit for a living”, but study after study just proves you wrong. Terpenes, along with other cannabinoids play a MASSIVE role. This is all part of why Marinol never took off

AnalOgre@reddit
I’m not sure what your expertise is in, I’m a physician and I prescribe Marinol all the time in the hospital with good effect. Not sure what you mean by that it didn’t help.
I’m not sure what you are missing, THC, the major psychoactive component of marijuana, has a higher THC percent by a huge amount, and that is the actual definition of potency.
Sure you can make an argument for entourage effects having something to do with it and I’ll agree, but I’ll also say all of the other terlene compounds have been selected for and are present in higher amounts just like THC thus making it more potent.
What i was saying is malarkey is how assuredly people claim x terpene has y effect when data shows it doesn’t quite work like that.
But without a doubt, and in all things measured, marijuana Is hugely more potent today.
Perhaps you can explain what you think potency means if not literally meaning a higher percentage present of the main psychoactive chemical?
CelestialFury@reddit
Well, I was going to an asterisk next to THC, but I didn't feel like getting into the granular specifics of weed. You're right, but all I'm saying is there's "lightweight" strains because not everyone wants to get blasted as they did as a teen. Older adults prefer more moderation.

Yeah I enjoy the act of smoking. I think weed tastes and smells good and blowing out the smoke is relaxing. But now it’s way too strong for that.

You can buy CBD flower and blend it with your THC flower. The CBD counteracts the intensity of the high. Kind of like L-Theanine in tea counteracts the caffeine.

SpaceBowie2008@reddit
ha! My favorite dispensary has bags that give me that feeling too. I love it.
For the people wanting weak weed like back in the day, dispensaries have menus with the THC percentage. Get lower THC and higher CBD if you don't want to space walk. If you can't drink alcohol anymore because it affects you differently now, then try weed man. If you live in a legal area it's so awesome. There are so many things to get blasted and the potency is amazing now. I highly suggest RSO (rick simpson oil) if you really want to get the highest you ever have or ever will.

1/4 was $20, half was $40 and oz was &75. The resin was free.

This is right I am a former small time chronic dealer. These prices are on point. However early or mid 90s the schwag was if I recall. 20 dollars for an 1/8 to 1/4 depending on many factors.

This was around the time that medical started finding its way out of the big states. A Hydro boom. We were all sitting around smoking in another state. He used to ride with me to visit my ex and her friends. These people had access to the craziest stuff in the country at the time. Not to be “outdone” He unironically starts talking about his hookup, how it was the best ever and how much he could get for everyone. L it was the best ever. They really don’t know who he is, or what kind he’s talking about. So they’re really receptive talking about getting some for their selves or even selling it. At the time I just felt bad, knew it couldn’t end well. But I try not to say anything. This goes on and on until finally start comparing it to what they got. Well they don’t want to be rude but are kind of shocked they been unknowingly considering getting a bunch of dirt weed that probably got passed through their own city because no one would buy it. Of course he got mad at me for “blowing it” for him.

Was diagnosed 7-1/2 years ago with MS and was stoked to get my medical card to get legal weed and 6 months later it was legalized. I love that I can get vape pens now and pre-rolls since my hands don’t work as well anymore to roll myself.
PanhandlersPets@reddit
My hands don't work good either and I use the Tyson cones. Easy to fill.

Hell, twenty-year-old me was a huge disappointment to nineteen-year-old me. I had to quit to join the Navy and never really went back. I can count on two hands, with fingers left over, the number of times I have partaken since 05JUL95.
Nowadays, being quasi-retired, I absolutely could, if I wanted to, but I have little desire and even less ability to contend with the shit that's out there now. "Low-Mid" green is more potent than "high-end" was back then... and the "Good Shit" ~~now~~ (2008-ish, the last time I toked) had my ass literally stuck in a corner, too high to function. I'm completely unashamed to admit I can't fucking hang.
Sasselhoff@reddit
I only stopped smoking (briefly) when I moved to China, but even as someone who smokes regularly, some of that shit is simply "weapons grade" and isn't meant for normal humans, haha.
Iaintyourclownbro@reddit
Just take half a 5 mg gummy. You’ll be fine
reapersritehand@reddit
I tried some recently after a 20 yr hiatus, and my first thought the next morning was "wtf happen to jus ole regular dirt weed, I shouldn't take one hit and not be able to function for 3 hrs"
warm_sweater@reddit
Opposite for me. I have a really hard time smoking it so only occasionally indulged in HS / college. It just grosses me out.
Vaping though, holy shit. I bought myself a nice dry herb vape and it’s incredibly smooth and you can actually taste the flavor of different strains. It’s quite nice.
massive_cock@reddit
19yo me would be stoked for 46yo me who moved to Amsterdam. Except the weed isn't as good as American stuff is now, and I've got a real life with real budgets.
JohnnyBacci@reddit
Same. My teenage dream has come true beyond my wildest fantasies, but I barely ever smoke. Also, the stuff today is just too powerful. Maybe I’d be more interested if it was more schwaggy, like the weed of olden days.
hudsoncress@reddit
Now we spend fifty dollars for a seed
RainerGerhard@reddit
The last time I saw something like this was about 10 or so years ago.
I worked as a bartender, and a dishwasher asked me if I wanted weed. I said no. But then he said, “I got nicks and tres (pronounced trays.)”
I asked, “What are tres?”
$3 bags, he shrugged.
I said yep. I absolutely want to buy some three dollar bags of shit weed in tiny bags. That is hilarious.
I should have framed them, thinking back.

No_Bend_2902@reddit
Nah, that shit was garbage. Dime was a nickel by the time you pulled out the seeds.

Swag bag with sad buds, seeds and stems...the sad reality of the majority weed in the 90s. And I loved it!

I remember one time my hook up was out of town so I had to call around and my friend found a guy who had some. I remember he tried to charge me $75 for a bag just like this. Im assuming this guy thought I was a stupid teenager trying to buy weed for the first time and laid him on his ass for trying to rip me off.

MetsFan3117@reddit
I can see the seeds in that bag. I would have negotiated it only if I was desperate. Nothing was worse than getting a bag of swag filled with stems and seeds. I remember telling off a roommate who bought a bag of swag with my last $20 from our shared bathroom when she showed me the bag. 🤣
And now I can just walk into a dispensary. I still find that wild.
PileofTerdFarts@reddit
Oh wow... a dimebag... havent seen that in forever.
And everyone had that cheap-ass friend who wanted to "split" a dime with you. "I got 5 on that!"
Looks like a ton of seeds in that little guy. By the end of my "smoking career" I had seedless quarter pounds.
But when I was 16? Oh yeah... lots of these.

Nothing like sitting there for an hour while you and your friends deweed the seed.
trifecta000@reddit
I think it enhanced the experience in other ways, though. You'd have to go through the weed and pick out all the seeds and stems, and depending on the weed you got, that could take a while. Then you had to roll the blunt and if you wanted to get fancy you ground the weed first, but I always felt that made it burn too fast.
This process took time, which fostered conversation and made it more of an experience than just grabbing a vape pen out of your pocket and instantly toking up. I miss that feeling but the entire experience has been sped up so much so you're high as shit before you even really get settled into your chair.
It was nice to slow down and mellow out, everything is so fast these days.
Amazing-Youth-1075@reddit
We used to call this ‘fluffing’ the weed. It took time done right and only at the end would you discover how much smokable material you had harvested from your purchase.

Be cautious, if you threw the seeds in your mom's backyard in high school, you were liable to have a few very ugly but identifiable plants popping up if you weren't careful. Not many details escaped my very suspicious mother lol
