Which Cannabis Strains Have the Highest THC Levels?

In the old days – the late ‘50s through the mid-'70s – when recreational pot smoking first started seeping into mainstream culture, the available cannabis was significantly weaker than today’s product.

THC levels during this time period rarely measured above 10%. And weed with THC percentages in the teens was considered to be “some good sh*t!” In other words, highly potent.

Nowadays, cannabis with 14%-15% THC is considered about average.

According to historical records, there was a dip in cannabis THC levels in the mid-80s. But levels have steadily increased since the mid-90s. And from 2000 to present day, levels have soared compared to past averages.

The steady elevation in THC levels is primarily due to shifting circumstances.

Cannabis cultivation was severely limited in the past. Due to its illegal status, cannabis tough to grow and even tougher to distribute. And most users were happy with whatever they could get.

Thus, weed farmers paid little attention to the breeding or science that maximizes cannabis potency.

But after legitimate businesses moved into cannabis cultivation, following the legalization of medical cannabis in the early '90s, quality control has come to the fore, including an increased focus on potency.

Now, THC levels above 20% are not uncommon. And there are cannabis concentrate products that register THC levels upwards of 60%.

That said, smoking cannabis flower or vaping cannabis oils remains far more popular than concentrates.

All of which begs the question we often get here at Cannawayz.com: “Which cannabis strains have the highest THC levels?” So, we decided to investigate this hot topic and came up with a list of highly potent strains…
