Probably because the press usually compare skunk/hash today to weed in the sixties.

that's nearly 5 decades ago right? Most stuff sold on the street nowadays varies from 10-15%, but if you have a good contact it goes up to 25%. I refuse to believe anything sold on the streets in the 70s went beyond 10% THC. The truth is you don't know the potency until you smoke it. 25% THC will blow your fucking head off even if you are a daily smoker.

Last stuff I got was 31% with a COA from a Colorado dispensary. Whether you're smoking 5-6% thc dirt weed or premium bud, people smoke till they're high. The stronger stuff just makes it a few puffs rather than blowing down on a cheech n chong sized joint. People are getting the same amount of high as they ever have.

This is total bullshit. A single bong hit of 31% THC weed will have you in space for hours. An entire joint of garbage weed might give you a slight buzz and a headache. This is for a regular user.

People's tolerance nowadays is through the roof, so it's all relative.

I don't normally smoke anymore, the 31% stuff was strong but it wasn't crazy.
