Yeah nearly 40% sounds ridiculous though. How can a plant be 40% thc? Damn near half of it would be thc at that point.


I've always assumed it means "40% of the cannabinoids are THC" not that the bud itself is literally 40% THC.

Even 25% THC would be pretty obscene, that would be 1/4th pure THC which even in resin form would be obscene.

There's dank hash that is only 40-50% THC but still super potent and delicious.


Yeah i think youre right. Which means most people are very confused about this. Literally whole different definition of what thc % means

People assume 25% means 1/4 of the bud is thc. Literally

It still seems weird though as you'd think they would include a total cannabinoids % if they did it that way :strokebeard:

There's only 6-7 real strains out there...original...like shrooms where did they come from? everything we have today are variety's and hybrids....all based off 6-7 originals.

And having equal levels of THc is complete horseshit :goodluckwiththat2:

Never fully understood it myself how the THC percentages work, definitely seems to make sense of it that way that you're all describing. I feel like there are certainly differences between indoor grown in perfect conditions, versus outdoor in poor conditions (or other lesser quality examples). Perhaps, the researcher should start sampling them herself?

Terpine profiles (and genetics) are what make cannabis strains unique, not thc content. Some lower thc bud is preferable to high thc bud because of unique terpines or higher levels of more rarer cannabinoids (there are hundreds)


No and yes. THC has very little difference in effect from one strain to another. You will get a greater variance by harvesting trichs anywhere from early clouding (cleanest high and come-down) to full clouding with dark amber(much more heavier less clear thinking high with a frequent chance of groggy come-down to some extent). There are hundreds of different CBD's with many strains containing upwards of 30 unique cannabinoids also unique in content. These dramatically change the high through breeding and/or isolation of CBD's

  Experiment with different cbd's isolated from top shelf strains and you will see not only are they responsible for almost every positive effect from pain relief to zero anxiety.but compared with pure thc they have very opposing effects, preferable imo. Pure THC causes anxiety, usually minor but without lying to myself it does.
  Also as a powerful psychoactive it will increase awareness in everything which when sick, or tired, or you have some anxiety before you even light up; THC exasperates all of these things.
  I do love THC and the benefits certainly outweigh the neg but I much prefer Cubes when I want to get high. All the psychoactive effects, increase energy instead of tired, and less anxiety when doses micto to medium.

Prolly more like 50 imo. You have your blue dreams and your diesels and your widows and northern lights, and a whole shitload of classic strains, og kush, jack herer

i had some real deal MKULTRA strain. While i was in san diego. Also this year when i went to MedMen in LA the first time, even if overpriced, their strains were all real hybrids. They had shit like Trainwreck Cookies (thats what i got) but that was a real strain. They also had a bunch of the regulars, and stuff like Durban Poison. C02 didnt even have a name, they werent making up strains at least

Also i saw no indication of thc level, just all pretty dank. My friend's grows are better but for quickly getting bud this was nice

Well a lot of dispensaries will have a total cannabinoids percent. So it would read like 30% total cannabinoids and 20%THCa, 2% D9THC, etc.

Like how a concentrate will be 90% thc. One gram would have 900mg of thc.

Right. But when you apply this to a plant, it changes the idea of potency completely. Instead of % thc by weight, which im sure most believe is the case, its "percentage of thc regardless of weight, but rather total cannabinoid content" which is a completely different thing.

Like if one were to try to calculate the amount of thc in bud for edibles, for example. Most would say if its 20% thc, then 1000mg of cannabis bud (1g) should be 200mg. Although, this would be incorrect. If its really just total of cannabinoid content.

Thats why shatter is so much higher in thc %, i guess, simply cause there are 112 others. And bho/c02 extracts tend to focus on just thc/a. And reintroduced terps, which can be bought by the bottle from any strain online now. And just mixed up any way you like

There is also some factor that causes some herb to be and remain extremely sticky after curing. Whatever it is about my growing method, every strain I have grown is super sticky even a year later. 90 some% of the stuff in dispensaries looks amazing but has not stickiness to it. This puzzles the fuck out of me! If the THC was the sticky factor, then I wouldn't be able to use a grinder on anything from the dispensaries over a certain THC%. I cannot use a grinder with my own herb or most of what resin ranchers grow, regardless of THC content. It looks more glistening if you know what to look for. It's not larger trichomes. If anything, the herb style I use promotes smaller trichomes but more of them. The sticky factor whatever it is, holds the flavor and the effect of that terpene profile in your lungs and in contact with blood for much longer. Most herb is smoke in smoke out and doesn't taste anything like it smells.

Some really potent extracts arent sticky at all either, and some that are less potent get all over your fingers

It's not even potency exactly, I love some rock solid shatter but some crumblier/oiler extracts tend to have more terpenes and can be just as potent IME.

Some of the nicest oil I've smoked was an amber Master Kush alcohol oil, was super sticky but incredibly tasty and potent.

Also the consistency is very temperature based, some shatter can stay solid even in fairly warm temps but at a certain point even the hardest shatter will start to get sticky especially when handled :shakefist:

This study seems to be lacking. They didn't study terpene profiles, and there is a shit load of cannabinoids other than THC and CBD...

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid)
CBD (cannabidiol)
CBDA (cannabidiolic acid)
CBN (cannabinol)
CBG (cannabigerol)
CBC (cannabichromene)
CBL (cannabicyclol)
CBV (cannabivarin)
THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin)
CBDV (cannabidivarin)
CBCV (cannabichromevarin)
CBGV (cannabigerovarin)
CBGM (cannabigerol monomethyl ether)
CBE (cannabielsoin)
CBT (cannabicitran)

(and more)

^I have some super hard crystal shatter that will NOT melt. And some other crystalish stuff that gets more waxy as it gets hotter. Those are my two "good but nothing crazy" bho strain collections.

But one thing i notice, most of the bud in the US these days generally looks pretty much the same, and tastes pretty similar, and i mean when i smoke weed from a totally new source generally im not at all surprised. And potency in my experience tends to be around the same, at least from actual noticeable effects.

If you go to a different country, even Canada, its different. Smell taste feel. Referring just to dank in all cases.

Cannabis is quite uniform in the states if you ask me. From west coast dispensaries to the east coast black market (assuming you have a good source, which is pretty much a non-issue these days)

Quote:

There are 113 known cannabinoids in the plant, no one knows how most of them work though, usually they just measure THC, THCA, CBD, and CBN. All that is really known is when you smoke flower you get the entourage effect which is all of them working together. Shatter and oil generally are just high in thc

Btw, if thc % means out of the total cannabinoids, its better to have a lower percentage it seems to me, because it means more other cannabinoids, no? It would be different if 25% meant 250mg of 1000mg, but it doesnt seem to mean that

THC is the only one of the cannabinoids known as a psychedelic with profound mind altering properties.
