But why? They done the same with alochol, wine in particular. The average alc. vol were: 11/12% however common bottles are now up to 15/16%. My aim to drink is to mellow; not to get drunk. Same when I have a smoke, unwind and relax not end up on some other planet blazed out of my head for the next few hours. (downvote why?)

I can’t speak to trends in ABV for wine, but I can agree that the THC content in most cannabis is much greater than I prefer. And, despite living in a state with legal recreational cannabis for several years, it’s only gotten harder to find low-THC product that isn’t basically zero-THC—generally grown for high CBD, which is great for those who want that, but it’s not the light buzz product I want and never can find.

  I would be thrilled if I were to ever find some good old fashioned compressed brick weed that's full of seeds at my local dispensary. Still have a soft spot for it.

  With respect to use in edibles, higher THC content in the flower is effectively higher farm yields.

  I'd love to find something that tastes as nice as the "good stuff" but has a low (but still present) THC content. I used to enjoy a bit here and there years ago, but as I got older, lost my tolerance, and everything got stronger, I simply can't handle it without feeling entirely too intoxicated. So instead, I just abstain rather than risk the anxiety and discomfort that often come with even one puff of "modern" cannabis.

The higher the concentration of THC, the less raw plant material you need to smoke for the same effects. It's beneficial to health for it to be as potent as possible, if you must smoke.

  This completely ignores the huge problem of tolerance build-up among THC consumers. The more potent the dose the more you'll ultimately end up consuming over time. I'm hugely worried that we've yet to really study the long term cognitive effects of heavy consumption and will see a number of ties to immediate (anxiety, lung and heart inflamation) and long term (dementia, etc) affects.

Totally agree. I'm looking for the Michelob Ultra of weed.
