For example, in a previous study8 of part of the population reported here, we noted that skunk-like types of cannabis, which contain very high concentrations of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), seemed to have a greater psychotogenic effect than did hash (resin), which is known to contain much less THC.
I guess they're utilizing the term to describe potency... Or to not sound like squares in front of the cool kids...
Perhaps a cultural message. I'm open to the idea that it (skunk?) could do you wrong, but also wonder about the people that get signed up for the studies.
but also wonder about the people that get signed up for the studies.
Good criticism, I would imagine the people that sign up for a weed study might have some other "confounding variables"..
That paragraph really doesn't make any sense. Skunk is more of an adjective than a noun. Ie: "there weed is skunky"
Meanwhile hash (which is technically "resin", however resin in the pot world is the black build up that collects in paraphernalia.) Can have a THC content upwards of 90% while marijuana can physically not surpass about 30%. (At that point 1/3 of the plant is THC)
"Skunk" is a scientific term?
