WASHINGTON (AP) - Marijuana isn't what it used to be. It's waymore than before.
A White House report says pot potency increased last year to the
highest level in more than 30 years, thanks to more sophisticated
growing techniques. The report says that means greater health risks
to people who may view the drug as harmless. It also increases the
potential for dependence on stronger drugs such as cocaine and
heroin.
The main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is THC. And since
1983, the percentage of THC has more than doubled from four percent
to nine-point-six percent. The analysis from the University of
Mississippi used samples seized by law enforcement.
But a professor at State University of New York at Albany
disputes the added danger factor. He says marijuana users generally
adjust to the level of potency by inhaling less. The professor
serves as an advisor to pro-marijuana activists.
