Your statement is very misleading, as is the whole, "kids these days have stronger strains" argument that other people try to use. Potency collapsed as a result of prohibition. Before prohibition, only poor black people in the jazz scene smoked. They did this because it was cheaper (people would steal the flowers off hemp plants). Most everyone else in the country took extracts. 1 dose was commonly the equivalent of what a heavy user today might go through in 2-4 weeks. Prohibition may cause stronger strains to be selected, but in the case of cannabis, prohibition caused the strain to matter, and to be smoked in the first place. Additionally, legalization and regulation does not touch dabbing and edibles which are much more potent than smoking. source: "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer
