SocraticGadfly: This is not your father’s marijuana?

July 20, 2009

This is not your father’s marijuana?

Is today’s marijuana really five times as potent as 30 years ago, and therefore, that much of an addiction problem? The government says yes, and bases that stance not just on air, but on marijuana-based admissions to rehab clinics.

Folks like NORML claim it’s just more government PR hysteria.

I’m in the middle. I think the feds are hyping the worry about today’s marijuana to some degree, but I do think it has definite addiction potential.
