On January 1, 2014, adult-use sales of marijuana began in Colorado. Since then, impressionable youth who were in middle and high school are now young adults. With every single year, however, new kids and new parents have to navigate the barrage of commercialization and normalization information to make decisions that can affect the trajectory of their lives.– Because of genetic modification, THC concentration has gone from naturally occurring 3-5% THC to 30%+ in today’s commercially sold flower or bud. Chemical manufacturing (solvent-based extraction) uses substances like butane, CO₂, and ethanol to isolate cannabinoids and create concentrated products with a THC potency of 90% or higher.
