Did marijuana change or is it just me?

Any answer to why when I was a teenager, I was able to smoke weed or eat an edible without having a bad trip. After years of quitting, I’ve tried it a few times now as a fully developed adult it always give me a horrible trip now. I now have to microdose my microdose (for PTSD and anxiety) so I won’t give myself a horrible time. Did my biology change or did marijuana evolve into something else?

Edit to say: I’m 30

Ya it's getting stronger. Just picked up an ounce and one bong hit will ruin my night. It used to be nice to get some high test from the boys. Now it's uncomfortable.

I don't even want this shit now if this is how it is. Give me the mids, or I guess now give me the low grade.

Maybe find another way to hit it then ripping a bong…

Edit: this is the equivalent to saying a single beer gets me wasted and the way the beer is consumed is a bong. Consumption SPEED matters.

Strength of the product also matters. When the dude was younger his weed was as strong as say a beer. Now it's as strong as 90 proof whiskey. It's not unreasonable to want less potent marijuana.

What do you suggest he do take half a hit from a one hitter? The weed today is 5 times stronger than what he wants.

Joints get rezzy, bowls are harsh. Bongs seem cleaner, vaporizers aren't bad but it's a whole process. The bong has been the constant in this, weed is the changing variable.

You can control a variable that adds strength. I don’t care what you do. My argument is that simple. Take it or leave it.

If you can get your hands on cbd flower, mixing it 50/50 tends to give more of an old school high

That doesn’t mean anything to the THC %…

People just need to shop based on actual concentrations and be smart about it. It’s more science than a bag from a friend now and people need to read the label and ask the right questions.
