Not your grandfather's pot- THC levels are way up: 1970s 2%/90s 5%/now 25%/some preps 75%. Awful result: Marked increase in pot-induced psychosis/panic/addiction/hyperemesis All street drugs are now an order of magnitude more dangerous/must be in every differential diagnosis. 4.1K views · 69 likes · 24 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →
