I don't recall saying that everyone's reaction to marijuana is the same. I took issue with your claims that "super pot strains that are uselessly strong" even exist, and especially that they are a problem in the process of "self-correcting," as you described it.
Sorry that you have an outsized reaction to drugs, that sounds incredibly frustrating and painful. It doesn't apply to most people, though, and it seems like you're expecting growers to cater more to your outlying case - when many already do. If you have an outsized reaction, make sure you know what you're ingesting, and take way less. Frankly, that's even easier with mushrooms than it is with marijuana since you're already weighing out a specific dose. If that still isn't a safe or predictable enough method then maybe mind-altering, recreational drugs are not for you. I know lots of people who can't touch the stuff for a variety of reasons. They aren't claiming that the drugs are so strong they no longer serve a purpose, though.
You would personally prefer that cultivators make less potent products. "Finding the minimum potency necessary to minimize the nausea" is a fine goal, for you. Saying that growers who don't share this goal (or also grow high potency plants/fungi in addition) lack "wisdom," or are driven by a "classical capitalism fuck up" is just a view I disagree with for a lot of reasons.
Ultimately, it's your responsibility to find a dose that works for you. There are a million ways to consume these things, at any concentration you could possibly want. There's nothing stopping you from microdosing even with high potency mushrooms, or from exploring CBD dominant weed strains. But let's not invent "super weed strain" bogeymen in the process. That's straight out of the DARE playbook; it's inaccurate and harmful to legalization efforts.
You could just say "Some pot these days is too strong for me, I wish I could find some 80's brick weed" instead and that would be a pretty reasonable, albeit uncommon, take.
- altairprime 2y agoTried saying that. People suggest “just consume less” as if it somehow makes high-concentration THC weed possible to consume again. It turns out that altering the characteristics of weed to prioritize “get high” THC concentration increase alters the overall ratios of components of the plant in such a way that diluted consumption still has worse outcomes. “Make it 2x and then dilute it 1/2x” is not functionally equivalent to “Make it 1x” doesn’t necessarily apply to biological products. Welcome to HN! I hope you’ve found your first-time user experience valuable so far. Unfortunately, school consumes my time, and I’m not interested in discussing pot politics with perfect wording precision further; so this concludes my incomplete and unsatisfactory participation on these matters.
