Jason Tremko's documentary trailer compares cannabis potency then and now, showing how 1960s weed had minimal THC while today's concentrates are far stronger. Multiple speakers raise concerns about youth addiction and whether legalization has masked a growing public health crisis.
If this isn't the marijuana of the '60s and '70s, then why are we still treating it like it is?
This isn't the marijuana you remember. For decades, marijuana carried a reputation: natural, harmless, even peaceful. But somewhere along the way, it changed. Stronger, faster, engineered. What if what we're calling marijuana today isn't marijuana at all? In the 1960s and '70s, marijuana averaged between 1% and 3% THC. Today, concentrates and cartridges can reach 90%. This isn't evolution, it's engineering.
People think it's gonna be a solution when it's gonna be the problem. And a lot of people will never realize that it's the problem.
I was in 7th grade when somebody offered me a vape.
When 70% of the population encourages the legalization of marijuana, why would kids have anything to worry about?
If you were like me, I didn't like doing anything other than marijuana. All I wanted to do, like, my parents would go do something fun, they would go get breakfast, and I wanted to stay home so I could hide in my room and smoke. Like, that's what I wanted to do.
26.6 million applications, 1.2 million reviewed, 30 approved, and that's not a system saying, "Everything is fine." That's a system quietly telling us something is very wrong. In reality, the signs of cannabis addiction are all around us. They're not hidden in dark alleys or dramatic breakdowns. They're woven into everyday conversations, routines, and excuses. All we have to do is slow down, Listen and ask the right questions.
If 70% of people in the United States considered this reality, we might actually be able to stop a child from becoming addicted to marijuana.
