I've read through the thread but I have to comment on this ... Michigan Resident. All dispensary products are supposed to be tested and THC content is supposed to be displayed on the label after you purchase your weed ... BUT ... There is great incentive for the testing lab and the dispensary to inflate these numbers. It's happened. People have gotten caught and labs have lost their license.
I gave up on dispensary weed. It's cost has gotten outrageously high and the quality of the product is frequently below expectations.
At the beginning the topic seemed to be about the amount of THC, and how hi it will get ya.
There's a couple factors that go into THC%, and how high it gets ya.
Back when WW, or even WR came out they had the strains at 12-14%. The Rhino I'd get in the 90's would knock me in my ass! It wasn't tested, as it was a friend who grew it un an unenlightened state.
To this day, I'd say I haven't gotten dispensary bud that had that strong of an effect.
The amount of CBD could really kill the effect. The conclusion I could come to is they were FOS.
Way back in 2012 I had 3 strains tested. One of the strains hit 25.14, just dried, not cured or anything. The 25%er was definitely stronger than the others, however that Rhino from the 90's blew it away. I can't explain why, except possibly tolerance?
Here's what the tests looked like back 2012.
To see strains being tagged as testing at 30%, or more is very hard to believe.
1/3rd of the buds weight was thc? That would look more like a gewy mass
