Ah... the memory of things more often than not becomes greater than it actually was at the time. Ever look at a commercial for a Big Mac that you haven't eaten in a year or more only to be terribly disappointed when you get one?
Back in the day the quality of weed varied quite a bit so when you got some really good stuff it stood out. Now most if not all of what you get is decent so the differential is not that far off.
Like the other have said. It's not the raw THC numbers but the terpenes that dictate the effects.
Finding a good breeder of a strain that posses the traits you want is the challenge. Most of the really good stuff I have gotten have come from USA breeders that are not the heavily advertised companies.
The issue that I have currently is the way stuff is bred. It used to be that a breeder would really work to develop a strain now they keep crossing crosses in hopes of finding something new that draws sales.
Lastly I have not observed a definite link to potency level by resin/thrichome density. I have grown some very frosty stuff that was middle of the road buzz wise. Most of the stuff I grow now gums up my vapes and gets all over your fingers and lips when you try to smoke it in a joint. Sticks to the grinder and your fingers. Again the buzz varies.
