i was a pothead in high school, thats a big part of what attracted me to the sciences, i knew that there was important druggie information buried in there somewhere, getting at that and stealing a triple beam were both ambitions i achieved.
i learned a lot when we had drug education class, when they got to the part about pot they were teaching us about THC percentages and they told us regular pot had about 2%-5% THC, hash had about 10%-15% and hash oil had 30%-40%.
seeing that hash oil stat blew my mind, i'd gotten hash before and it was A+ high power stuff, so the possibility of something more than twice as good captured my imagination. eventually i learned how to make my own hash oil and educated myself about solvents and distilling in the process. i learned a lot that way and it was worth the effort because that hash oil was super strong, just like they promised in high school drug education class.
