Marijuana
Is today's stuff just too strong, or I am too old?

Can you not just use less?

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work that way
I've pretty much stopped smoking gear. I used to smoke it to enhance life - conversations, music, films...now it just tends to make me feel monged, and not in a nice way. Had some gear in Australia this year that was really nice - old school giggles, happiness, fun. So yeah, the hydroponic skunk which is all you can get in the UK is just too strong.

It's the difference between a head-stone and a body-stone.
"Bushies" (home grown) tends to be more of a body stone where as hydros (particularly with chemicals added to accelerate growth) tends to fuck with your head.

So I told...

I haven't had a spliff for the best part of 5 years now
However , even then i noticed that it didn't take a lot of homegrown to give me couch lock.

Yup.
When I were a nipper, we'd get nice crumbly light brown coloured stuff - almost all my shirts had tiny little holes burnt in them where it used to fall out of the joint.

We used to get pleasantly wrecked, and the next day get up for work and carry on with life.

Although I have probably only smoked it 3 or 4 times in the last 20 years, the stuff that you get now isn't remotely like it. Smoke, feel stoned, fall asleep, wake up feeling like a gorilla shit in your mouth.

Bah, kids nowadays . . .

I'm not sure if it's the weed or...
the fact I have more to worry about. Back when I was a nipper I could get wrecked a giggle listen to some reggae go to bed no worries. Now I get wrecked and fret about mortgage interest rates and being too stoned to help my litter girl if she fell ill and stupid crap like that. so no thanks I'll pass thanks. (and I used to smoke about an Oz a month)

Exactly the same here.
Last time I actually bought some was just before my daughter was born. Had to have a last hurrah.

The stuff went mouldy in the end, I think I smoked one or two joints.

I was over typing something else in a hurry I am at work you know. The frontiers of science don't get pushed back by themselves you know

I think all my receptors are full - I can't seem to get anything off it any more

Everyone says it's stronger - does less and less for me, so I don't bother.

Look up the difference between Sativa and Indica

Why?
The difference in highs between sativas and indicas isn't the issue here, it's the increased thc content. CJ and I are of an age where we grew up smoking Moroccan hash, that's the difference.
