In the 1970’s, a group of students at Stanford University made a commercial transaction online using the school’s artificial intelligence system. The baggie was sold to the counterpart system at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology.

But believe it or not, the bud you have now is way stronger than what your parents were smoking in the 70’s. A study published in the US National Library of Medicine found that the THC content of weed in the US has tripled. That’s just since the year 1995. Back in the day, it was actually extremely common to get stuck smoking stem instead of the plump green bud we can get our hands on today.
