Marijuana Potency Continues To Rise


While not a user, this story interested me. According to "experts", average marijuana potency has been rising for 30 years and will balloon further in the coming years:
At the University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project, where thousands of samples of seized marijuana are tested every year, project director Mahmoud ElSohly said some samples have THC levels exceeding 30 percent.

Average THC concentrations will continue to climb before leveling off at 15 percent or 16 percent in five to 10 years, ElSohly predicted.
