We’re revisiting some of our favorite Slogs from 2019. Next up: 85,360 milligrams of THC, baby…


A Seattle-area pot processor may have just produced the worldโ€™s largest crystal of pure THCa, the most common active ingredient of cannabis. The block of pure THCa, which was created by extracting and refining pot buds, has sheer diamond-like edges and weighs an incredible 97 grams.

That is the same as 3.4 ounces of THCa. Or 85,360 milligrams of THC. Or enough THC to dose 8,536 individually wrapped edibles. Or, in the words of Justin Marsh, a sales manager at Oleum, enough THC to get a lot of people high.
