Cannabis is finally being decriminalized in more and more places around the world. And for very good reasons! Compared to other legal drugs such as alcohol, cannabis is pretty mild and most users enjoy it without issue. But there’s a dark side for some. So let’s take an honest look at some of the latest research together.

    The good thing about weed with higher THC is that you need less of it in order to get high and so you don’t have to smoke as much.

      It is difficult to dose though and I doubt people calculate how many grams they can smoke according to THC content. It’s just “one toke dude” or a hit from a bong with however much fits in.

        True, my primary consumption is through vapes. So I can control the dosages a little bit better. I generally stay away from edibles because being high for hours at a time does not sound at all fun to me like not at all.

          I try to avoid edibles during the day for that reason, can’t go and deal with a kid or work issue if I’m medicated for that long. At least with puffs I can tone it down and be able to drive and deal with stuff.
