The tendency to focus on THC and over-inflate its importance is nothing new. Since prohibition in the 1930’s, the obsession over THC has been allencompassing. The government banned cannabis because of THC and its effects. The black market chased ever higher THC numbers as a way to cater to their client base. Everyone and their dog knew that THC was the thing in cannabis that “got you high.”
