The Great THC Lie: How Potency Obsession is Ruining Your Weed

When you walk into a dispensary, what catches your eye first? That fat THC percentage is on the label. But here’s the thing: chasing sky-high THC levels might actually be screwing you over. More THC doesn't always mean a better high—it often means a worse one.

Hollywood has a long history of misrepresenting cannabis use, often leading to laughable inaccuracies that frustrate real-life cannabis users. Let’s dive into some of the most common mistakes filmmakers make when depicting smoking weed on screen and why they need to do better.

The One-Hit Wonder

In many movies and TV shows, a character takes a tiny puff from a joint, barely inhales, and suddenly acts ridiculously high. This trope is not only unrealistic but also diminishes the actual effects and experiences of cannabis use. For instance, in Netflix's Glow, a character lights up a joint, takes a small hit with barely any smoke, and then acts like they’re high out of their mind.
