That art is being turned into a science, literally. Just in the past 10 to 15 years, I think there's been a huge surge in the availability of high potency stuff, like you say. It just seems to be much more available now than it was when I was a teenager. In fact, it almost seems as if the dirty low grade stuff is even less available than the good stuff now.
Maybe that's just because of my location or what have you, but that's the trend that I've seen....I think this high potency has almost given weed an even worse reputation than it already had. The potency issue is being used as ammo by the "anti" crowd. In London, the "skunk" has become somewhat of a problem, or so I've read. I don't really understand the argument though. Personally, I would just smoke a lot less of it. That was the main difference for me.
