You try to come off all high and mighty when in fact you wouldn't respond so thoroughly if it wasn't really quenching your desire to troll. The fact is that YOU admitted it, to paraphrase YOU said; The average bag of weed that someone will go and buy from their dealer today is going to be MORE potent than the average bag of weed that someone bought from their dealer on mainstreet, usa. This is the argument in the first place, that the weed today is ON AVERAGE MORE POTENT than it was 40 years ago. You unknowingly (or knowingly) conceded your argument. OF COURSE there were potent strains way back when, natural genetic drift takes thousands of years, not decades. I am very aware that in order for the hybrid genotypes that we have today (that have been sped up by aide of man), the genes had to be present in the first place.
