as in the % and amount of thc in pot, you will often see these on seedbank websites.

You are not even gurenteed to get those kind of percentages. Those percentages are probably from PERFECT growing conditions. So really, it doesn't even matter.


One way to do it would be to extract the THC and weigh it. Then weigh the plant matter left over.

the percent thc, as previously stated, is considering very precise, nutrition, humidity, and temperature control. Not to mention optimal lighting.

What the website states is not something to easily go by. Expert growers know their shit unbelievably well.

They even have college courses on how to properly grow marijuana.

Then again, if someone could give less of a crap about yields or THC.... they could just throw some seeds in t3h earth and leave the work to mother nature d00d.

no, I understand this, BUT HOW IS IT MEASURED.

Seems that it varies a lot depending on who's doing the testing and what lab it's being tested in. Those machines are from 4,000$ to over 25,000$


A canadian guy told me they use lasers or microwaves or something once. Something about the underground cannabis community there doing it a different way with something less expensive.

thank you, I guess only growers can afford to buy something like that.

Isolate only THC and related CNS actives, and then compare your end product yield to your starting weight, and there ya go.

Thats what I was trying to say.

I have a very sophisticated lab that can give accurate information regarding THC content in plant material.

Free of charge (I see it as more of a hobby than actual work), I'll test samples of your product that you send to me and give you the results in a timely manner.

Drop me a line in IRC or AIM if interested.

Should we make sure they are EXTRA LARGE samples? ;)

The larger the quantity the more accurate the readout. :)

I like how they say that teens who smoke marijuana are more likely to be depressed..

'course, what if they were depressed and that's why they started smoking? Hell, that's why I started.

Makes sense to me considering weed has depressant effects also.

TEEN "SELF MEDICATION" FOR DEPRESSION LEADS TO MORE SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS, NEW REPORT REVEALS

(Washington, DC)—Millions of American teens report experiencing weeks of hopelessness and loss of interest in normal daily activities and many of these depressed teens are using marijuana and other drugs, making their situation worse, according to a new White House report released today. The report, from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), reveals that marijuana use can worsen depression and lead to more serious mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, anxiety, and even suicide.

Research shows that some teens are using drugs to alleviate feelings of depression ("self-medicating"), when in fact, using marijuana can compound the problem. The report, released to coincide with May's Mental Health Awareness Month, shows a staggering two million teens felt depressed at some point during the past year, and depressed teens are more than twice as likely as non-depressed teens to have used marijuana during that same period. Depressed teens are also almost twice as likely to have used illicit drugs as non-depressed teens. They are also more than twice as likely as their peers to abuse or become dependent on marijuana. Marijuana use is associated with depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts.

"Marijuana is not the answer. Too many young people are making a bad situation worse by using marijuana in a misguided effort to relieve their symptoms of depression," said John P. Walters, Director, National Drug Control Policy. "Parents must not dismiss teen moodiness as a passing phase. Look closely at your teen's behavior because it could be a sign of something more serious."

Although marijuana use among teens has dropped by 25 percent since 2001, more teens use marijuana than all other illicit drugs combined. The new report, "Teen Marijuana Use Worsens Depression: An Analysis of Recent Data Shows 'Self-Medicating' Could Actually Make Things Worse," shows the following:

* Teens who smoke marijuana at least once a month are three times more likely to have suicidal thoughts than non-users;
* Using marijuana can cause depression and other mental illnesses;
* The percentage of depressed teens is equal to the percentage of depressed adults, but depressed teens are more likely than depressed adults to use marijuana and other illicit drugs;
* Teen girls who use marijuana daily are more likely to develop depression than girls who do not use marijuana;
* Depressed teens are also more likely than non-depressed teens to engage in other risky behaviors such as daily cigarette use and heavy alcohol use.

"Don't be fooled into thinking that pot is harmless," said Dr. Drew Pinksy, internist, addiction expert, and host of VH1's Celebrity Rehab. "Marijuana is an addictive drug. Teens who are already depressed and use marijuana may increase their odds of suffering from even more serious mental health problems."

In fact, the potency of smoked marijuana has risen consistently over the past decades and higher potency translates into serious health consequences for teens. Some studies show that higher potency marijuana may be contributing to an increase in the number of American teens seeking treatment for marijuana dependence. The risks associated with recent and long-term marijuana use include schizophrenia, other forms of psychosis, and even suicide. "Not only are adolescents at greater risk for drug abuse, but they may suffer more consequences," said Nora D. Volkow, M. D., Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "There is also some evidence that in vulnerable teens-because of genetic factors-the abuse of marijuana can trigger a schizophreniform disorder."

ONDCP is urging parents to pay closer attention to their teen's behavior and mood swings, and recognize that marijuana and other drugs could be playing a dangerous role in their child's life. Parents can take some concrete steps to protect their teen from marijuana and other illicit drug use:

* Look closer at your teen's behavior-moodiness may not just be a passing phase; it could be sign of depression or drug use;
* Recognize the warning signs of drug use and depression, including carelessness with grooming, change in behavior and friends, loss of interest in daily activities, and withdrawal from family;
* Be more involved: monitor your teen's activities; ask questions and know how he or she spends time; set limits about drug use with clear rules and consequences for breaking them.

And just remember this simple list of terms, and you'll be able to tell who's an evil drug user and be able to report them to authorities. (http://www.ondcp.gov/streetterms/ByType.asp?intTypeID=1)

Christmas tree - Marijuana; amphetamine; methamphetamine; depressant

who doesnt know that christmas tree means weed and coke in a cone?

correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt cheeba heroin?

Well i am sure it could be but it is a slang term for weed. We have a sandwich shop locally that has a bunch of subs named after weed strains and it is called Cheebahut.


Also they couldn't even get sensimilla right, they have it as "potent variety marijuana," but it should be "a potent variety of marijuana grown without the production of seeds."

First of all, I have never heard of that being reffered to as christmas tree. Second of all .if you are talking about cocaine hcl that is a major waste of your coke.

Around here I have heard of christmas buds which comes around fall and winter and they are pretty good quality and cheap.

I believe they smoke it then estimate.

"I'm so fucking high, this has to be 12%."

WHO WAS PHONE

No really, you are retarded.

:D

What shows you that this is retarded bullshit is that they keep stating the same thing over and over with different words. Plus if you smoke weed you know that shit is bullshit. I sure have not been depressed or gone crazy from a mental illness after smoking weed, I have actually felt better than I did before I smoked that time.
