The drug warriors love to talk about "the new potency."
The problem with this argument is that while new strains of cannabis are developed all the time, many with very high potency the truth is that the higher the potency the LESS that must be smoked to achieve the same results, and thus the less smoke going into the lungs.
The main problem with cannabis smoking is the act of smoking and the effect on the lungs not the amount of cannabinoids in the plant.
For example, a huge spliff with shwag grade cannabis gives the same amount of cannabinoids as does a high grade cannabis taken in only one hit.
High potency cannabis is good if you are looking to reduce harm to the lungs in the form of smoking.
