As health officials continue to bark out ridiculous claims about marijuana, one must begin to wonder; “Marijuana can be up to five times more potent than the cannabis of the 1970s, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “  If you take a minute to interview any cannabis user of the 70’s you can clearly get a strait answer, the marijuana purchased in the 70’s included stems, leaves, and other parts of the plant not smoked.  When you look at the potency per pound, obviously the 1970’s marijuana is going to look less potent compared to the marijuana purchased today, which is well trimmed, virtually stemless, seedless, and leafless.They tend to say, cannabis users are not as successful as non users, but how many top sport stars, musical stars, writers, movie stars admit to using marijuana, A LOT! Marijuana is a one of a kind plant that can be used for so much more than just inspiration.
