Everyone’s heard it: “Weed was way weaker in the ‘70s.” But is that true — or just more media smoke? In this episode, we dig into the myth, the measurement methods, and the mistakes that have fueled decades of confusion around THC potency.
Brandon and Jesse break down:
Why today’s flower isn’t always “stronger”
How old testing methods (like gas chromatography) skewed historical data
The science behind why your dad’s mellow joint isn’t a myth — just misunderstood
What high THC actually means for your body and mind
The entourage effect and why you might want less THC, not more
⚠️ Disclaimer: We reference some commonly quoted historical THC data that’s now known to be inaccurate. Much of that old info came from degraded samples, poor storage, or outdated testing tech.
