Even cannabis stores use marketing.

Dude, “narcotic” is *very* specific - and there ain’t none in cannabis (‘don’t cross the streams’, ya know? You don’t want to see people cry…).

PS…it’s illegal in most countries because WE pressured them to make it so (I believe it’s called the ‘Single Convention’)

Actually narcotic fits quite well. It's not in cannabis, it is cannabis if you look at the definition. Cannabis can certainly be described as a substance that affects mood or behavior.

Narcotic:
noun

1. a drug or other substance that affects mood or behavior and is consumed for nonmedical purposes, especially one sold illegally.
   "cultivation of a plant used to make a popular local narcotic"

It depends on how you want to read and take that definition. Cannabis has absolutely no narcotic like effect on me. I wish it did lmao. But no.

“Marijuana is complex chemically and not yet fully understood, but it is not a narcotic. Like alcohol, marijuana acts as both stimulant and depressant, but it lingers in body organs longer than alcohol.” This is what pops up on google lmao. Great answer. Hahaha. Makes no sense

The 4mg/g of THC that has already undergone decarboxylation should still have an effect, although it might kick in a bit faster compared to the THC that goes through decarboxylation in your body. The key is how all these components work together.

Total THC is what really matters for potency, since it includes both THC and THCA, which converts to THC when heated. A strain with lower THC but high THCA can still hit hard after decarbing. Testing labels can be confusing, especially when buying wholesale CBD or THC products, so it’s always good to check how they list the values. A high THCA strain might surprise you once it’s activated.
