The assumptions and tone of the article make me think it's a plant by anti-marijuana advocacy groups.<p>I agree the trend for hyper-potent weed isn't great, but that's mostly a function of years of clandestine growth, where it makes sense to grow the strongest weed possible; easier to hide and sell 9 potent plants than 19 or 90.<p>But I'd argue this is part of the calibration process that comes with legalization. People have been smoking lots of weed for years, but now that it's not criminalized we can actually think hard about it.
