Marijuana's Journey: From 5% THC Joints to Potent Concentrates

So I think these things are going to take off, just like CBD did a couple of years ago. And times here have changed, at least if you look at some of the polls out there.
Marijuana isn't what it used to be. What started as mild 5% THC joints in the 1960s has evolved into today's ultra-potent concentrates, some nearing a staggering 99% THC. In this eye-opening episode of 'Prevent This!', Nick Place, a seasoned police officer and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) instructor, takes listeners through the fascinating and sometimes alarming evolution of marijuana.
From understanding the basics of marijuana terminology to delving into the intricate process of marijuana concentrate production, this episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to be 'in the know' about current trends and products, especially those popular among adolescents in the Midwest. Place, with his extensive background in law enforcement and drug recognition, sheds light on the isomerization process and its impact on Delta-8 THC, a compound that's rapidly gaining popularity similar to CBD.
He discusses its psychotropic effects and the pressing need for regulations and testing to ensure public safety. But that's not all. Place also shares his observations on the rising use of opiates and stimulants, underscoring the importance of random drug screenings. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just curious about the changing landscape of marijuana use, this episode offers valuable insights and practical knowledge.
