Marijuana's potency is determined by its concentration of THC, the main psychoactive compound. Factors like genetics, growing conditions, and processing methods can influence THC levels. Increasing THC content through selective breeding and cultivation techniques has led to the development of more potent marijuana strains.

Can Marijuana be laced with DMT?

Yes, marijuana can be laced with DMT. DMT can be made stable in a powdered form, at which point you can put it into a marijuana cigarette or whatever you use to get high. HOWEVER...

Marijuana CAN be laced with DMT, but it is an unnecessary and wasteful practice.


How does the marijuana of today compare to the marijuana of the 60 70's?

Theres more potent strains. Yes, and no. There were the same potent strains that we have now, the classics, like the Widows and whatnot back then as well. However, there are many more cross breeds today. However, there have also been many famous strains from the 60s that no longer exist today because the lineage of the plants was lost. They can try to be recreated through cross breeding, but they can only come so close. Also, the studies that showed that marijuana of the 60s was less potent that today's strain used degraded marijuana that had not been stored properly. The test has been redone with properly stored strains, and it revealed the truth that there has always been average, low THC marijuana (aka mids, regs, etc.), and there has been the more potent top-of-the-line marijuana (aka headies, denk, etc).
