Reading from https://hightimes.com/culture/how-much-thc-is-in-a-dab-a-bow...

> A pinner with 0.4 grams of weed should deliver roughly 36 mg of THC, while a gram joint will dish out 90 mg of THC.

How much THC would be in a skunk joint?

Edit: 14 / 9 * 90 = 140mg for a gram joint.

This is excellent reason for the government to sieze control of cannabis by regulating, taxing, and controlling it. In Nevada recently cannabis stores have the potency marked and clearly visible. if you want to ingest 20 grams, eat two gummis or two squares of chocolate.

It would be exactly the same if you just put less of it in the joint. Since you can't seem to do the math, the article you refer to would be using weed that is 9% THC. 14% (in that skunk joint) is hardly a quantum leap in strength. Take two puffs instead of three, was that so hard? Or would you advise people that inhaling more smoke from burnt plants is actually better?

No, I'd advise them to use edibles or vape. There's not much reason to ingest actual smoke anymore.

'Two puffs instead of three' doesn't really fix that joints aren't granular enough for most people: 10mg is fine for a casual cannabis user.
