Seems to me hash oil has become the preferred consumption method among young people. Not to detract from your greater point, but that aspect is maybe a bad analogy.
Hash oil is what old heads use to refer to anything that is used to dab with. All hash is going to be significantly stronger than the flower it was derived from.

Most of the younger people I know smoke vapes, which vary in potency but are definitely not intended to get you as fucked up as possible like dabbing.
