Reply #13: In the 70s, several things happened

[Warpy]

First, the seeds from the more satisfying dope was carried over. More dope was grown indoors, for obvious reasons, and pollination was done by hand. That accounted for a very slight increase. Second, the cultivation method changed, and dope scheduled for consumption and not seed productionwas harvested just as soon as it budded, before it set seed. That maximixed the resin content. That also caused a slight increase.

Other than that, it's your father's dope. It's not ten thousand times as strong, it won't destroy ambition or make you senile before your time, it won't make you sterile and unable to reproduce, it is not addictive, and if you're nuts enough to try to smoke it like tobacco, you'll likely go to sleep after the first three joints.

It's the closest thing we have to a benign drug. It's a gift to us from our planet. It needs to be legal. Period.
