The assumptions and tone of the article make me think it&#x27;s a plant by anti-marijuana advocacy groups.<p>I agree the trend for hyper-potent weed isn&#x27;t great, but that&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;s not criminalized we can actually think hard about it.
