With the increasing popularity of smoking the lushness that is mary jane. We have seen an increase in types of strains and hybrids. Here we have the best sativas for spring 2018!
According to the reports coming from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The potency of cannabis is getting higher with every passing year. The majority of people measure the strength of cannabis strains by the levels of THC they contain. If you consider that as well then marijuana is most definitely getting much stronger.
So How High Is High??
The average levels of THC found in cannabis strains used to be less than 1 percent back in the 70s. In comparison to that, early 2000 had marijuana strains showing the THC levels at above 6 percent. That’s a clear indicator of the increasing potency of marijuana strains throughout the world.
One of the main reasons this phenomenon is happening is a better understanding of how the genetics work with these plants. We have gotten a better grasp of what elements contribute to humans experiencing the high from cannabis plants. There’s an increased focus on producing seedless. This is the top part of an unfertilized female cannabis plant containing the highest amount of THC.
There are also the modern era harvesters and weed growers. They’ve managed to bring hybridized strains into the market. Simply by combining different strains of the cannabis plant to encourage higher THC levels.
There are two different kinds of strains for cannabis plants: the Sativa and the Indica strains. Sativa strains are more potent with THC while the Indica strains exhibit higher levels of CBD.
The most robust THC levels are found in hybrid strains. They combine the best Satvias strain and indicas strain with Sativa showing the higher level of THC. With every passing day, we’re discovering hybrid strains that contain a higher level of THC.
Back in the 70s, finding a sativa strain that had THC levels going above 10 percent was a rare feat. Nowadays, there are plenty of hybrid strains out there that have THC levels going north of 20 percent.
