Just A Box Of Rain

109. The "on average" part is the rub.

Any data sets that compare marijuana leaf with seedless bud, or a seeded mix of some (likely immature) bud mixed with leaf against seedless bub, will make the seedless bud test stronger. 100%.

What measurements like this fail to do, is to identify that there were plenty of people in the 1970s and 80s who were not smoking "ragweed," and instead where enjoying the finest outdoor grown sativa like CA Sinsemilla, Thai, and Hawaiian.

Again, it is garbage in, garbage out.

Weed in the 70s & 80s was nowhere near 20% THC. Most were 1 to 5% with an 8 to 10% (rare) max range Celerity Jan 2023 #74

But that's the discussion Johnny2X2X Jan 2023 #142

Is it though? Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #144

Quality in terms of aroma or in terms of potency Johnny2X2X Jan 2023 #147

Both. And in terms of "potency" is is more a matter of the balance of canabloids Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #150

But that's the whole point of the article Johnny2X2X Jan 2023 #151

But it compares apples and oranges. Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #152

Sativas are NOT the strains that are high in THC, INDICAS are. I know because they are what I used The_REAL_Ecumenist Jan 2023 #80

The majority of the strains now are mixed Sativa/Indica womanofthehills Jan 2023 #141

The "Internets" are WRONG. Now, while there may be hybrids of sativa & indica strains that have The_REAL_Ecumenist Jan 2023 #157
