Potency and Cannabinoid Content

In examining the data in this chapter, it may prove interesting to keep in mind the following comments of a professional dope taster (The comments originally appeared in High Times Magazine Spring, 1975)  

Oujcdcdn-has a minty taste and is also spicy. It tingles the taste buds. The minty taste allows the throat to stay open, which means you draw more smoke into your lungs without coughing it out. It s quite airy considering its power. 

Santa Marta Gold—excellent intellectual high. Very creative. Very sophisticated high, but not particularly psychedelic like the best Mexican—this grass would be good for an intellectual fuck-like a mind-body communion. 

Lowland Coiombian—knocks you out but it docs not get you high. In other words, the narcotizing effect overwhelms the psychoactive effect. 

Hawaiian—hypnotic intensity—an extremely dramatic pot. Few people could finish a joint—people would sit transfixed by the sheer power of the stuff—a high gr tss, lots of top end—mental.
