20. Perhaps it's tolerance

I took a hiatus from the noble weed for 26 years, only returning to it two years in October. I have no regrets, but a lot has changed since then. I won’t regale everyone with boomer reminiscences, but THC levels of 18% were not readily available. I recall some Thai stick that I’m reasonably sure reached that level, a couple of ‘so-called Colombian’ lids here and there, some sinsemilla, some homegrown indica from bona fide Lebanese seeds that sent one unfortunate fellow to the ER for what would today get called a panic attack. Aside from that, we were smoking glorified hemp. I made the acquaintance of some chemistry grad students who were into extraction. The basis of their ‘documented’ work made its way to Rick Simpson - the RSO guy. Anyway, I tried those extracts, probably cauterizing my respiratory system in the process, but they got THC levels upwards of 45% I am proud of my contribution to advancement of science.
