Maybe your friend was talking about hash. The highest hash I've seen was 59% THC, but smoking the plant mater, THC wise it's physically impossible for the percentage to be any higher than 25%-26% (i personally say 30% depending on the grower, but that's at the mt absolute most).

There was an article about it in high times (if anyone cares i'll try to find out what month) that basically said after all after you include all the plant matter, non cannabinoids, water, cells...i.e. everything that makes up a plant, that the only thing left is about 25% (that number being the THC). And this was coming from a botanist at a highly respectable marijuana testing facility.

That is weight by volume and definitely grower and strain dependent. There are actually labs now that test resin profiles which allows them to break down the individual resin glands make up. Again, thc percentages are all subjective and don't really mean as much as people think. The quality of the resin profile is what really matters so a 17% thc plant could be better than a 23% thc plant. Regardless, BillyBudd is full of it, David Suzuki himself said he didn't have anything to do with a breading project in the 70's and Billy's theory that all these bomb strains are the same and that they came from Canada is completely unfounded.

Yeah I do agree with you that the original poster op is full of shit, but no offense, I'll take the word of a scientist over someone on a forum. I still think that if were talking about just regular old bred and crossed marijuana can't be any higher than 25%-27% or maybe even less.

There is supposedly some dispensary that takes blueberry kush then rolls it in kief. There is an ad in the mmj mag in CO called KUSH. The ad is from Cannlabs a testing facility. They call it Cannabis Caviar and claim it is over 56% THC. I am a licensed patient and will see what I can find out. Late.

yes the hash, is probably where the 56% comes from. You can make hash with higher than 25% thc. But the plant itself over 26%? Forum folklore.

Kief bombs. Those are tasty. Try them out if you can. I really like them when they take a pure (or close to pure) indica bud and roll it in pure (or close) sativa kief. Or the other way around. Very nice all encompassing high.

Some places do the same with buds infused with honey oil.

BC Seeds has advertised several strains as being 50% or higher in THC. BC Seeds is a known ripoff site. No strain has a 50% or level of THC.

THC percentages is THC in relation to all other cannabinoids found in tested trichome heads. It has nothing to do with any portion of a plant other than the the cannabinoids found in trichome heads and what proportions/percentages they are.

In the past when herb was supposedly so much weaker testing was done different. Then, THC was in relation to all matter found in trichome heads, not only in relation to other cannabinoids. That watered down THV percentage levels. When the testing procedure was changed THC levels seemed to shoot way up but that was misleading, it was mainly the result of the change in testing procedure and also because sensimilla had become all the rage and in the past tested her had seeds and lost some potency to that, not that suddenly people began creating wunder-strains.

I hate to disagree with someone that might end up feeding me to pigs but I don't think you're correct. At labs like Steep Hill, they use GC-MS to give a cannabinoid profile on the whole of the product that you want tested, be it the flowers, concentrates or edibles. A percentage of 15% THC is 15% of the total dry weight of the whole sample, not in relation to the rest of the cannabinoids. In your scenario, the total of all of the cannabinioids would have to add up to 100% and they obviously don't. Labs take a part of the the whole flower, weight it and completely crush and dessicate it removing every last bit of water before testing. All of the percentages are a percentage of dry weight of the combined material.

Caviar is the bee's knees! One hit is really all you need. They have the Blueberry Kush Caviar at Compassionate Pain Management in Louisville and Lakewood.

Who cares. Who would want 50% THC. Too much.

there is a strain that is close to 50% but the closest I've seen to that is infinite bliss , its thc% is 40-48%. The site i found them on is sellin them 1300 dollars for 10 seeds.

there was this guy over on another forum, bought himself that upstate strain from BS seeds, oh wait, Bc seeds. no actually bs fits better.

viciously defended his purchase for a few months, started a journal, not surprisingly not many photos after the first few, ran 2 grows and then admitted they were wrong, upstate despite claims of higher thc than anything else but 2 other bs seeds strains and yield claim well over anything else,turned out to be a lackluster weed indeed, under average in yield and thc.

im the original poster, but im not full of shit. that was some other poster saying it was true. i agree with you. anything higher than about 25% (maybe give or take a few %s) is bs. these supposed seed companies that make these claims will take your money and send you nothing, or send you bunk seeds. i just wanted to see what defense the people had who actually do believe it. and so far, they have failed. no pics, but lots of excuses. i called bullshit from the start and i still call BULLSHIT! gave them a fair chance to prove me wrong but so far i am not convinced. thanks for posting
