Several months back, when I told my sister that one of the reasons I’m planning on moving out of South Carolina is because where I’m moving to (Puerto Rico) has a medical weed program that I’m eligible for since I have Autism and ADHD, she told me that medical weed was laced with fentanyl.
I can agree to a great degree to be honest. Sometimes it’s nice to have a smoke without worrying if my mind is coming back from Mars or not.
I can’t speak too much on the matter though. I just recently harvested some extremely potent weed. However I’ve grown some cultivars with higher amounts of CBD, and have personally noticed less of that THC head-change when there is CBD there.
Maybe consider either a 1:1 THC:CBD strain/cultivar, or if you’re able to: grow your own. There are some varieties with high THC though also including some CBD, as auto flowers which are generally quite good for beginners to advanced growers and low maintenance for the most part.
Edit: another suggestion is to just buy some CBD flower, and mix it into your bowls/joints/blunts for some counter to the negatives of THC.
I’ve had decent luck with the varieties that have high thcv, like Durban Poison. Thcv is more of a giggly kind of feeling and it also suppresses appetite rather than making you incredibly hungry which is nice.
Once again though, this is like a two or three time of year treat for me and not an everyday occurrence. It’s effects on somebody that consumes regularly might be different, I have no anecdotal data.
