Ridiculous- the % of THC has increased 250% in the past three decades??? Jesus, if that were true, smoking a joint nowadays would kill you. I think its just the opposite, which is why its necessary to keep some old school seedlines and 'elites' pure. (and another debate ensues)

"While estimates vary, law enforcement officials on both sides of the border say Mexican drug gangs earn the bulk of their cash from cheap-to-produce marijuana, using revenues to sustain wars against rivals and the government that have killed more than 33,000 people across Mexico in the past four years."

Yeah, that's it.
They just ship Tar, Coke and Meth up here because they are good samaritans.

not all mexicans are poor dumb farmers. they were growing weed way before it was popular in the usa. not all mexicans grow shit weed either. the great weed never makes it out of mexico very often. some smart mexicans are adapting their strains and methods. the seeds i occasionally grow now from mexico are definately hybrids with shorter flowering times than the old strains

One particular night me and the wife were trimming till the wee hours of the morning and the next day I realized she had stepped on a large cola. Because of unusual circumstances we were trimming wet and this cola looked exactly like brick weed. Through it in a jar with leaves and all, cured for a week, smoked it- tasted so shitty I threw it away. This was the SSSDH btw and the trimmed nugs of that run were the best I've ever done with that strain. My point is smashing wet weed w/ leaves will make almost anything become dirt shwag.

"Tommy Lanier, who directs the National Marijuana Initiative, funded by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Lanier questions the medical value of such strong marijuana and said legitimate crops can be diverted to the black market.

"They say its used for pain management, but drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels would have the same effect," he said.

Obviously the Govt. pulled this genius out of a policy think tank for his vast knowledge of MJ pain management and therapeutic insight.

This should be alarming to those who are not quite convinced that the Govt. employees at the highest levels reflect the best and brightest of the available talent pool.

If anybody here has a handle on these 30% strains, hook a brotha up, please!

The guy that is making the 30% claim must be rating Arjans (GHS) strains also.

True, when we were in Acapulco we bought some beautiful unpressed, light green weed that was outstanding, like no mex I have ever seen in the states.

Funny though, the guy I got it from first brought me some complete shwag that I refused, it was only then that he broke out the good stuff.

36 years ago I lived in Imperial Beach Calif 5 miles from the Mexican border and the only Pot we had was Mexican $10.00 a Lid as we called it back then they weighed out at least an OZ. That Pot would F* you up.
Bricks or Kilos cost from $150.00 to $225.00 but they weighed out at 2.2 to 2.5 pounds.

There where rumors of Acapulco Gold And Colombian and Panama Red but I never saw anything like it till many years later.

I guess the point I'm trying to make except for the seeds and stems Mexican Weed was pretty damn good back then and I'm hopeful and glad there are working on bettering there export..
