@28:55: "Kush is aproximately 10x stronger than regular marijuana"
So Kush is 75% THC?
This is the same demonization to the word Kush that happened with the word Marijuana. Instead of scaring americans away from legalization with a Spanish sounding word, they are now using a middle-eastern sounding word.
It's all cannabis.
NatGeo no longer is a credible source to me. I can't believe they would push such lies.
Drugs Inc is a bullshit, fake show.
It's boring as fuck most of the time too.
what is "regular" marijuana? Can you even get a baseline on that? is there really a similar strain between all the different areas in the US and Canada and Mexico that you can say "here's your standard weed strain"? I don't think so really.
then how would you make the connection that it's 10 times stronger
earwax maybe but I've been smoking kush since I was 16 and the high is not even all that higher than regular or chronic, but those or just potency names it's all cannabis
Just a last ditch effort by the powers that be to drive fear into the public and scare them into having a different attitude tword mj

it's like saying something is a "standard apple". the plant has too much diversity to really say what is "standard".

I think they mean skunk. Even though that'd still be bullshit.

I do recall watching a BBC documentary that claimed skunk is some kind of dangerous new strain that makes its users paranoid and psychotic due to its high THC levels. It is true that pure THC can be rather unpleasant, since you need the CBD, CBN and all the other cannabinoids to even it out and get the good effects, so a high THC strain like skunk may not be as pleasant as a high CBD strain depending on your preferences, but the actual "paranoia" you can experience from any strain of weed is just overblown. It really isn't that bad as long as you know how to keep your cool.
Mr.Black
are you serious
This is so dumb.

regular pot isn't near 25%, that'd be medical grade
every time I smoke kush I just zone the fuck out and get super chill
most types of dro are similar but more energetic feeling and the most fun
reggie or schwag or brick weed get me really paranoid and sluggish and it's not very fun.
corn's a nice mid but it's usually trash enough that I still get paranoid
but these are all different strains under basic meaningless nicknames so
I love the weed names like " Bubble G Kush" "Chemdawg" "Darkstar Atmosphere OG" , when i buy my dank, i could care less about the name, i want it to have good aroma, a good burn and a good high.
Holy shit thats alot of comma

If I had insinuated regular pot is 25% thc you would make sense. I insinuated regular pot was 7.5% how the hell did you get 25%?
10x 25% would be 250% what the fuck are you talking baout
Fucking lol'd hard when all you see when you start the video is someone going berserk tied to a gurney.
Kush needles not even once!

i mean hell, if i was tied up like that stoned out of my mind i wouldn't be trying to jump around, i'd be paralyzed with paranoia and fear.

"medical grade" doesn't exist. people growing marijuana for medicinal purposes just have a larger selection of strains to select from.

also you can't even measure the potency of marijuana by thc content alone. there are several cannaboids that get you high. two strains with the same thc content and a different mix of other cannaboids will give you a profoundly different high.
it's like trying to measure the potency of opium by morphine content when opium has something like 19 different alkaloids that all contribute to a high.

Medicinal weed is grown in the best conditions, resulting in the best possible thc / cbd content depending on strain. A strain that is high on THC would top out at around 25%, which is what im talking about.
Also, they do advertise by just THC content if its "pure" sativa.
They grade weed depending on the content of cannibinoids, so you could buy high THC, mid, low. Same with other cannabinoids (CBD primarily), or a hybrid containing higher levels of both

just because it's "graded" in a certain way doesn't mean two strains of the same "grade" are equivalent. cannabis, like most drugs, is very nuanced in the way it interacts with your brain.

OK? I'm not talking about how it interacts in the brain, just that there is medical grade marijuana (anything grown for medical use, under good conditions to ensure plant health and user safety)
Same way that there is prescription methamphetamine, but it is created in a medical facility, to ensure there are no leftover reagents (or in pots case, high levels of nutrients, zero pesticide used)
none of you know what you're talking about

The only correct information that's been put into this thread is;
'Kush and marijuana are the same thing.'

wait but "true kush" is indica bro
[editline]10th September 2013[/editline]
also i stopped worrying about strains when i was in 9th grade. names mean nothing if you're not getting it straight from the grower/dispensary
So would Hash be like Heroin then?
"The THC levels is higher"
This fucking guy.
i guess the word kush gets associated with hip hop and black culture, so they're more eager to demonize it
Booze is 10x stronger than alcohol.
Weed is all bad for you though
