The farmers are force-growing their crop to keep up with the demand. As a result, it is quite obvious that the strength of the medicine has decreased significantly. Still, I have seen so many college-age clients, driving up or riding their bikes to the line. Personally, I think that a lot of the clients look healthy and very young -- they just don't look sick as they laugh and talk about how cool this is. I believe that everyone realizes that prescriptions for pot are very easy to get, and that (due to high demands) the potency has decreased, but still it goes on, growing larger. How much longer can this go on? Scott Rentzer Arcata - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr
