Marijuana More Potent than Ever....



Some call it, Chronic, Grass, Hash, Herb, Mary Jane, Pot, Reefer, Skunk, or Weed. These leafy green plants, are the most commonly illicit drug used in the United States, according to the U.S Dept. of Justice. The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Of the roughly 400 chemicals found in the cannabis plant, THC affects the brain the most. Marijuana plant growers and breeders try to cultivate the most potent "pot" possible, by any means necessary. Some drug dealers are even spraying several amounts of "Fly Spray" into marijuana plants to increase potency.

According to a study done by the University of Mississippi Potency Monitoring Program, the potency of marijuana has increased nearly tripled since 1987, and as demand continues for the ultimate high that pot can provide, it looks as though that percentage will be increasing further. Smoking one marijuana cigarette deposits about four times more tar into the lungs than a filtered tobacco cigarette.

About a 6 years ago, I smoked some "Amnesia Haze" from Amsterdam with one of my friends from Venice, his girlfriend happens to be a writer for the "HIGH TIMES" magazine. That was the best marijuana I've ever smoked, I went to sleep for about two hours, it was real strong.

I used to smoke weed back in my days, but nothing comes close to that Amsterdam "Amnesia Haze." I don't smoke weed anymore, for several reasons. People are just smoking chemicals.

A good friend of mine used to smoke weed 3 times a day, since 1999, now he's schizophrenic and living on the streets. These are some the harsh realities of smoking weed, be careful if you smoke weed Jimmy Moss.
