This is the same propagandistic bullshit the government spouts. Do you really expect me to believe that we have achieved more genetic selectivity for high potency over the last 50 years than in 10,000 years of prior human use? You have presented an average thc content from the 60's that you are comparing with a ranged thc content from the present day . This claim defies not only common logic, but actually evidence as well. In the 60's there was merely less availability of the higher potency strains because (on the whole) there was less cannabis overall and a higher percentage of schwag relative to the available crop at the time. Granted, I didn't live in the 60's, so I can't comment on it past the research I have done into this topic, but, when talking solely about average thc content (which is what the 60's percentages you posted represent), a lot of meaningful numbers and facts get swept under the rug.

I do find that now its great for physical activity. I dont do this often but maybe every few weeks I will smoke 1 hit with my friend and then go mountain biking..everything just becomes soo surreal riding through the forests. A tiny hit can really help me with my skimboarding as well..everthing starts to flow so nicely then I just lay there floating the ocean afterwards.

Tak and I often smoke before during and after yoga sessions, it is a completely tranquil experience. I also smoke when I give her massages.

Though most people say cannabis is a "depressant", I find it to be uplifting. I suffer from Cluster Headaches periodically, and it helps to relieve them quite a bit, without bad side effects of course.

I understand just perfectly what you mean Cloud, and i guess most potheads or ex-potheads do.

I smoked cannabis for 14 years, eventually i came to the uninevidable point that i started to smoke on unappropriate occasions, at work, family meetings, etc.

One day i finally realized this was no good, and i was addicted, i didn't smoke cannabis because i really wanted to, but because i thought i needed to, so i decided to take a 30 day break to prove i wasn't addicted, but i was ofcourse.

I mannaged, 30 days past, wich where very hard, i don't smoke tobacco, so i missed the inhaling of the smoke, actually the whole ritual, more then the effect, cause it made my head feel, well.... clouded all the time, i assume you know what i mean since your nickname is cloud, i guess this has a cannabis oriented reason.

After that time i waited 2 more days, before lighting up a spliff, it didn't take much to go into a good old fashioned cannabis experience like i didn't have for at least 10 years.

Now i choose one day in the weekend to smoke, and in the evening of that weekend alone, now i decide when, that's a huge difference, before i had no control, and i smoked like there was no tomorrow, it was an addictive habbit, now i can decide for myself, although after the weekend is over it can still be hard to resist, but it's do-able.

It's much more special, but i feel it might be better to smoke once in a month or maybe twice, the specialness is fading again, the longer the pauze, the more the entheogenic effect of cannabis will reveal itself.

I completely relate to that sentiment. In the past 6 months or so, I've begun to smoke much more regularly. With that regularity, the specialness of the experience has really diminished. It's only after I take a reasonably long break that I can have the creative and energetic sort of high that I used to always have. I haven't smoked for 2 weeks and it will be another before I can smoke again, but I think that first bowl after this short break will be really nice. I don't want to quit smoking entirely as I think cannabis has had some positive influences in my life, but I definitely need to keep it in perspective.

I used to love cannabis and smoke it all day for years without problems. But now I don't smoke at all. It drains me completely and messes up my life.
I still respect that plant but it's not for me anymore. I'm finished with it. When I quit smoking my life all came together. I feel better both physically and mentally.
When I smoke I eat shit and don't treat my body well. I get lazy and I put things off. It's hard to wake up and I'm tired all the time. I don't miss that at all.

I have many friends that quit smoking or are struggling with it. But they are all around 30 years old. None of them still just smokes and enjoys it.
