I'm in the US. It is really hard to see clever people around me using their almost pure THC at high doses. I can clearly see the negative impact coming much faster than people I know that smoked lots of lower concentration for decades. I see them having all kind of functional issues (memory, motivation, crippling anxiety when not high). And there is no way to talk to them about these negative effects. Mainly because they have been deeply brainwashed to believe that the overall effect is always positive and that all criticisms are a conspiracy by people with war on drugs level agendas. As much as I tend to believe that low amounts can have benefits, both functional and social, what I see from this trend of heavy use of high potency material is clearly not going that way.
