UTRECHT, Netherlands, March 18 (UPI) -- There is some truth to the potent pot myth: Today's pot is more potent than your grandfather's and people get higher as a result, Dutch researchers say.
Peggy van der Pol, Nienke Liebregts, Tibor Brunt, Jan van Amsterdam and colleagues of the Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction in Utrecht, Netherlands, said for the past decade or more, the commonsense idea that high strength cannabis leads to higher doses of Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active ingredient of marijuana that provides the high, was challenged and labeled the potent pot myth.
