    This is not meant to start a debate. I was just blown away at the study itself. 78 to 350 joints per week is extremely heavy use. Even in my heavy smoking days, I probably didn't smoke 350 joints in 3 or 4 months (and that was usually sharing with a group of friends)...let alone 1 week. 50 freaking joints a day? Where does a person find the time? They surely aren't employed. If you do anything to that excess, you're going to screw your body up one way or another.

    This study is akin to saying, "Our research finds that if you drive a car 200 mph through rush hour traffic, you're more likely to get into an accident." I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find the ONDCP behind this study.

    I know a couple of people like that- they smoke weed like they are chain smoking cigarettes. They're sincerely hooked on the stuff.

    Crazy. Folks haven't smoked that much since lids went from $10 bucks to today's $500 or $600 for top grade. Or so I've heard!

    That much though? I was a stoner in my past. That usually meant, on a good day, 4 or 5 joints shared with friends (or many bong hits). That was more than enough to keep me going for a full day. I can't imagine the energy it takes to put away 50 in one day.

    Welcome to Jamaica, man! :cool:

    These studies are really stretching and reek of desperation. I'm sure if we put several victims in a room and had them each drink a keg of wheat grass juice in 24 hours...they would probably be having some issues as well.

    Seriously, the amount being smoked here is insane.

    I highly doubt that is true... these people would be spending thousands and thousands of dollars a month on it... sounds like somebody is pulling the researchers leg
