Potency From a Darwinian Perspective-Nevil's Theory
I remember once when me and Nevil were having a long distance smoke session, we got on to talking about early evolution of potency and Nevil shared an interesting theory of his with me on why, from a Darwinian point of view, did potency exist, ie what might the evolutionary advantage be to the species of Cannabis? Nevil postulated that perhaps it was a biological defense against its primary predator of the last several hundred thousand years, the large herd mammal, and perhaps other mammals.
Nevils theory was simply that that panic that you feel, from strong more primitive wild type hemp/sativa varieties, he called it a "primal" type of high if I remember correctly, it tends to make you feel panic, or paranoia. This would cause the herd that was decimating a wild stand of cannabis to "panic" and run for quite a distance, and disoriented, not able to return to the stand, the stand would survive, and pass it's genes to the next generation. He also theorized that an added benefit would be in aiding the seeds that were consumed to travel far when the beasts panicked and then ran it off.
Nevil said that eventually when man got ahold of it and started breeding it the high changed, became more euphoric, narcotic, etc. But he said that more landrace wild type effect would give more of that "unrefined" or "Primal" high, which in its purest form is less pleasant...
And now for some of the finest refined,

What about the symbiotic relationship between marijuana and humans ? maybe the potency in marijuana is an order to attract humans to propagate it in further her success as a species..?.Because the relationship between the two seems to be mutually beneficial

Hi Starcrash,
Interesting you should ask, I have my own theory about this, called Homo Sapiens/Endocannabinoid Symbiosis Theory. Modern society developed from agrarian society, farming, it was the original agrarian societies which allowed the previously nomadic tribes of mankind to settle down and form a lasting and seated culture.
Geneticists through the study and indexing of mitochondrial DNA discovered that at one point in our history all of Humanity was bottlenecked to a single woman. This woman is generally referred to as Mitochondrial Eve, she is thought to be from Africa.
Homo Sapiens endocannabinoid Symbiosis Theory is as follows:
Sometime close to this bottle neck, or perhaps before, people were smoking weed, and at some point early in our evolution culturally, perhaps because of this bottleneck, every person on earth was smoking, at first just a few, but as humanity grew, they all smoked weed, in those days they smoked perhaps by lighting a fire in a cave and burning a bunch of cannabis. This may be how the first priesthoods formed, around these enclosed area fires. But before it was monopolized by a priest or shaman class that formed around it, everyone smoked it communally, for many generations, and for this reason, our bodies actually became dependent to a certain extent, through the endocannabinoid system. So the theory put more simply the endocannabinoid system formed because of a symbiotic relationship between cannabis and man. Also a need to get high lead man to cultivate this plant, which lead mankind into agrarianism, and therefore modern society is directly a product of our symbiotic relationship with this plant.

Welcome Gatts,
Lol, Interesting read, thank you.

That reminds me of something I heard on the Adam Dunn show with AJ and Bro
“We are slaves to this plant”

Lol! But this plant is also a slave to us, that is the essence of symbiosis, I suppose.

Leg 1
Leg 1
Leg one has been broken into 2 populations. Group 1 is the smaller group that was transplanted. They were the standouts, faster growing specimens that looked female, I put them under HPS and will be doing a test grow as sensimilla on these, to get some killer smoke and some tested cuts.
The larger group Group 2 are still in smaller containers, they will be moved soon into one of the breeding chambers. From the vintage 5hzXCali seedlings I will select a small group of males and will open pollinate that chamber, plus I will collect pollen from same males and dust lower branches of plants in group 1 as well so nothing is missed.
Here are some of the plants in Group 2:
