Also it is alot stronger now than it was in the seventies, so the arguement for legalising it must change accordingly. I agree in the resrect of illness like multiple sclerosis, but beyond that, it's a political and cultural minefield. |
I must have missed this one...MagisterFaust, you are only partly correct here. There are so many varieties (sativa and indica) and strains within those varieties as well as level of THC within those varieties that each plant will give substantially different effects. Weed is like alcohol in that regard. Some are like beer, some like wine and some like tequila and moonshine.
The effects you describe are of the high thc strains. There are strains however that do give you that mild mellow buzz that many achieved during the 70's and its no bullshit or myth. As far as the argument for legalising it having to change due to its strength, I feel the opposite is true. If you legalize it, you can regulate its strength so that the stuff sold is the mellow, light buzz stuff from the 70's instead of the high thc paranoia inducing stuff you get on the streets now.
