- I think it's clear that selective breeding has increased the potency of
- cannabis dramatically. Two of my friends have also passed out, while using
- some exquisite Dutch strains.

- Cannabis has a pretty innocuous reputation that's well deserved. However, I
- think it's important that users are aware of potentially dangerous responses
- to _very_ strong weed, especially with unacclimated or unexperienced people.
-
- The Bush administration has vilified these new strains because of their
- potency. My experience has been that once you're familiar with them, the main
- difference between standard and potent strains is the amount of pot you smoke.
- Personally, I'd much rather smoke 2 bong hits of beautiful, tasty Haze/NL5
- than rape my lungs with 12 hits of shitweed any day.
