higher potency cannabis, even independent of concentrates, if they're not allowing that titration to occur. Also, if you have someone who is just exquisitely sensitive to THC for various reasons, even one or two tokes could be too much for them because at the higher potency, they may not have that ability to titrate quite as well.

And so a lot of people, anecdotally, you talk to people about cannabis and a lot of people who don't like cannabis have said, oh, you know, I've tried the new stuff's too strong.

And if there's someone who's kind of more in our age range who grew up in an earlier decade where things were a bit different, they may be referencing their own experience from when they were younger and what they were able to consume. And now they try doing the same and it hits them like a sledgehammer. Got it. So it's a little different in that sense.

And I don't think it's to say it's like not concerning that cannabis is as high as THC as it is. I just think if I'm going to put my efforts into kind of like public health perspectives of this, I would be digging my feet in much more about the access to concentrates and the issues and the potential harms that are going to come with them than I would about the cannabis flower myself.

That's just my opinion based on what I see with the concerns and what we've seen from the data in humans. And I think the real world ecological studies that the Colorado group have done have been very informative in this sense because, yeah, if the blood levels of THC you achieve from concentrates are double to triple of what you get even from higher potency flour, that's a concern.

Like I think that's where problems start arising because then you're going to start seeing a lot higher degree of tolerance. I mean there used to be more of a debate in the field as to whether people develop tolerance because โ

One of the things with cannabis that I do find very interesting is with a lot of chronic users, they don't escalate the way you would see with cocaine or alcohol where there's very profound tolerance that develops. And so, I mean, people definitely see this in cocaine where people can become tolerant almost immediately. And so dosing starts scaling up very fast.
