In a study that included more than 80k black market samples of resin over the last 50 years, across areas like Denmark, Italy, France, Netherlands, UK, and the US, among other regions, the average increase in THC strength was seen to be at least 25 percent.
The cannabis that your mom and father might have smoked 50 years ago cannot be fairly compared to what is out there today. What you will find on the market right now, and across the last few decades, has increased significantly in strength.

This worldwide cannabis concentrate market is expected to grow to $13 billion or more by 2026, that is up from around $3.73 billion back in 2018.
Despite cannabis being criminalized in many places worldwide, authorities have still failed to win the war on drugs and cannabis is prevalent even in countries where there is a death penalty for it.

Despite all of that criminalization and effort to crackdown on these products, cannabis is still thriving in demand and use for billions around the world.
