Marinol is a pharmaceutical pill made from 100% THC. It is so safe and effective that the FDA downgraded it from a Schedule 1 controlled substance to Schedule 3, which means it has little potential for addiction, abuse or overdose.
If a pure THC pill is OK, why not cannabis that’s 10% or 20% THC? It’s totally non-toxic.
These government studies are skewed to scare people, and it doesn’t work.
From an article called “Killer Weed: the Myth of Pot Potency” that explains the reality behind hysterical propaganda of “stronger weed.”
“Despite prohibitionist claims that the pot of the 1960s averaged under 1 percent THC—an allegation that, if true, would indicate that the entire Woodstock generation experienced nothing more than a giant placebo effect—US government researchers didn’t begin measuring marijuana potency until the early 1970s, when a team of investigators at the University of Mississippi received federal approval to initiate the Potency Monitoring Project.
Early samples tested by the PMP consisted almost entirely of old, improperly stored Mexican weed, infamous for its shitty quality. Varieties of more potent herb available on the commercial market, such as sinsemilla and Thai stick, were ignored by the project. As a result, the baseline data produced by the PMP during the early to mid-’70s—during which time federal researchers absurdly claimed that pot averaged less than 1.5 percent THC— bore little resemblance to the marijuana available on the actual consumer market of the time. Yet this hopelessly incomplete and misleading data continues to be cited by prohibitionists in the reports they release.”
This article was written before the news came out that the high THC reading was only obtained by throwing Hash into the mix. This is equivalent to adding crack to cocaine and getting a readout of potency… but to withhold that information is the equivalent of PROPAGANDA.
Do a search for this article: Drug Czar’s Pot-Potency Claims Go Up In Smoke
It is on the Huffington Post’s website.
Samantha your right, we reported on the tainted results here: http://chattahbox.com/us/2009/05/30/claims-of-dangerous-10-pot-potency-debunked/
Must quantity of percentage of THC have a hemp plant to be considered a stupefying substance? Or “does it plant one develops less than 2 % of THC is a stupefying substance? All the sentences of cassation united on the cultivation of cannabis.
