I feel like something that could help would be a limit to the potency. I like weed - but I really just want a 5-10% THC flower with some CBD in there for good measure (still not convinced the CBD isn't a placebo, but it's there naturally so no harm in having it). But most shops near me don't sell anything less than 20% THC. WTF?

Occasionally I can get something 10-15%. And if I'm lucky I can get something less than 10%.

Then look for high-CBD strains. The weed plant that produces lots of CBD will not produce much THC. The inverse is also true. I see CBD strains all the time that are as low as 1% THC.

High CBD strains, in my experience, are made to have almost no THC. 1% is too low IMO. And often they have even closer to 0%.

Mids are easier to get on the illegal market, ironically.

So do less of it. The concentration is meaningless, the ingested and metabolized amount is what matters.

Yes that's usually what I do. But I think in general the average potency at stores encourages people to do too much. It did for me when I first moved to a legal state. I had no idea what I would enjoy and just expected that the average THC content was a mid-level intensity. In reality it's at the top end.
