On the pot issue:
I was a regular pot user most of the time for >30 yrs. Last couple decades, I consumed about 1/8th of an average daily user in the US, or less. My view on potency is that it is only a safety issue for the inexperienced. People who have never or rarely used weed can get VERY mentally disoriented and scared at the peak of first getting really high, even though they are in no physiological danger. Short duration, but freaking out and doing something dangerously stupid is a rare but real hazard.
If you keep smoking, this is quickly reduced, because tolerance and you learn to psychologically adjust to the effects. Once experienced, super-potent weed is no big deal. If you get something extra powerful, you might get really tired and spaced out for an hour, so you then smoke less. Most experienced functional users can mentally turn off anything short of a massive Rasta-level dose to get things done. People who run things and are go-getters, are smoking massive amounts of weed, even multiples of the avg pothead, and you don't suspect it. Guaranteed.
