STUDY: STRONGER WEED DOESN’T GET YOU HIGHER

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder determined that  high-THC flower and concentrates do not appear to get users higher.

  • The survey, conducted in mobile labs dubbed “cannavans,” found that 121 cannabis users didn’t self-report being more intoxicated after using the more potent products and performed about the same on balance and cognition tests.
  • The results raise questions about the validity of drug tests that record THC levels in the blood.
  • “People in the high concentration group were much less compromised than we thought they were going to be,” said study co-author Kent Hutchison. “If we gave people that high a concentration of alcohol it would have been a different story.”
