Jesus ****ing christ, how much clearer do I have to be for you numbnuts?

IF POT GETS STRONGER IN THE FUTURE. IN THE FUTURE. IN THE FUTURE.

I am fully acknowledging that you cannot smoke yourself to death with today's pot, and certainly not with the pot of even 5 years ago. But it keeps getting stronger, and it doesn't get any harder to smoke. I have a lot of faith in industrial bio-chemists to engineer some **** that is exponentially stronger than what we have today if they desire.

I repeat (repeat repeat):
1) Pot should be labeled for THC content - no different than alcohol content is labeled.
2) If it gets too strong (in the FUTURE, mother****ers), it should be capped.

Christ.

edit - that ratio of effective:lethal is really useful. Thanks, Def.

I'll humor you. Today's most potent strains have ~ 20% THC content and you would have to smoke 1500 pounds in under 15 minutes to overdose.

.20 x 1500 = 300

So even if by some miracle of science you were able to craft a cannabis bud with 100% THC potency you would still need to smoke 300 pounds of it within 15 minutes to overdose.

Seeing as THC is destroyed by intense heat, and you would need to have a pretty intense flame/fire to combust 300 pounds in under 15 minutes...

I gotta call up Doc Brown and Marty McFly to fire up the Mr Fusion and go get some of this superpot from the future.





Also, to your point Ohio, I'm sure that there is a biological upper limit as to how high the content could be and still be considered a plant.

Why you gotta ruin everyone's buzzz, man?

I posed the topic of this discussion to an executive of a major cigarette company just a few minutes ago.

He said that there is not enough of a market to warrant the manufacturing costs and the legal expenses involved. I was certain that a tobacco company would jump on it. As it turns out it would not be cost effective for them to produce it just for one state.

Yeah likely you will see those who already have growing operations just expand and go public .

I don't believe that for one second. Maybe he should get his market estimates from the DEA instead of the AMA.

Marijuana is a bigger industry than tobacco here in Kentucky.... How would it not be cost effective? The guy is a fool... Trying to protect his part of the pie... Just like cotton back in the day

i bet i know which tobacco company the exec worked for....surprised he still has a job considering the recent layoffs at our local tobacco giant

Not worth a new thread but good news nonetheless.
