"The amount of cannabis grown in Wales has risen from under 10% to 60%
in 10 years, according to drugs consultant Liam Watson. "

Huh? What is that supposed to mean that the amount of cannabis grown
in Wales is 60% now?
60% of what?

This article trys to claim that this 'Skunk' is 6 times stronger than resin, 
which is impossible since resin is made from the trichomes which are of a 
high THC content.

A good resin can easily have 20/30% THC content...

Me thinks they are refering not to resin but to shite bar, this shows just 
how confused the press/media is about cannabis.

It's lack of knowledge is actually dangerous as these lies they spread could 
and do cause confusion.

"His mother Colette White said Matthew's personality started to change drastically the moment he
started smoking skunk at the age of 16. She said: "He didn't miss school, he completed his GCSEs, he
got fantastic results and we were so proud of him.  "And it only took from then, about May or June,
until the October, for it all to unravel. All his previous ambition disappeared."

Can anyone say.... STRESSS???

There is no 'superskunk', and I'm surprised the BBC
didn't check this and avoid printing tabloid garbage.

high THC content.

A good resin can easily have 20/30% THC content...

Me thinks they are refering not to resin but to shite bar, this shows just 
how confused the press/media is about cannabis.

It's lack of knowledge is actually dangerous as these lies they spread could 
and do cause confusion.

Oh nevermind, judging from the context of the article it's 60% of the
cannabis used in Wales that is grown locally.

This article trys to claim that this 'Skunk' is 6 times stronger than resin, 
which is impossible since resin is made from the trichomes which are of a 
high THC content.

A good resin can easily have 20/30% THC content...

And where are the crazed hash smokers, that is what I want to know.

I mean, this whole 'cannabis today is more dangerous because
it is stronger' is ridiculous in itself.

Let alone whether it is stronger today than back in the
sixties, when people were smoking "Acapulco Gold"
or "Maui Wowie".

The names themselves suggest that people were getting
pretty high on weed, even back then. :)

Unless you follow tabloid garbage, you're a legaliser and want to give

And where are the crazed hash smokers, that is what I want to know.

I mean, this whole 'cannabis today is more dangerous because
it is stronger' is ridiculous in itself.

Let alone whether it is stronger today than back in the
sixties, when people were smoking "Acapulco Gold"
or "Maui Wowie".

The names themselves suggest that people were getting
pretty high on weed, even back then. :)

"His mother Colette White said Matthew's personality started to change drastically the moment he
started smoking skunk at the age of 16. She said: "He didn't miss school, he completed his GCSEs, he

Can anyone say.... STRESSS???

There is no 'superskunk', and I'm surprised the BBC
didn't check this and avoid printing tabloid garbage.

Unless you follow tabloid garbage, you're a legaliser and want to give
schizophrenia to babies.

And where are the crazed hash smokers, that is what I want to know.

I mean, this whole 'cannabis today is more dangerous because
it is stronger' is ridiculous in itself.

Let alone whether it is stronger today than back in the
sixties, when people were smoking "Acapulco Gold"
or "Maui Wowie".

The names themselves suggest that people were getting
pretty high on weed, even back then. :)
