    What? This article, and others on the BBC talk about “skunk” like it’s a totally different thing than “normal” cannabis, and is discussed (according to them) as being incredibly dangerous. Is UK terminology unique or something? I’ve been smoking cannabis for decades, and skunk to me has only ever meant weed that smells skunky.

      It was originally a strain, now it’s just used to describe any super smelly indica with a high THC content.

        Ah got it, thanks for the clarification. Very odd way of referring to strong cannabis.

        It’d cute they think the THC is what makes it unhealthy and not the rest of the fucking plant matter.

        By that logic gas station CBD bud is healthier than high-quality, professionally made live-resin (which is healthier than any bud you could smoke.)
