I call shens on the 2lbs/month smoker you apparently know. That's 8oz per week! ROFL.
He must be smoking grass clippings, and for $200/lb I wouldn't be surprised if he was.
Since your friend is possibly the heaviest consumer of cannabis in the history of the world you might
want to point him to vaporization to save his health.
I, and many informed cannabis consumers, use a medical grade vaporizer such as the Volcano thereby reducing harm levels far below smoking (tobacco or cannabis) and below the physical dangers of alcohol.

"The vapors from the Volcano® were found to consist overwhelmingly of THC, the major active component in marijuana, whereas the combusted smoke contained over 100 other chemicals, including several polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carcinogenic toxins that are common in tobacco smoke. The respiratory hazards of marijuana and tobacco smoke are due to toxic byproducts of combustion, not the active ingredients in the plant, known as cannabinoids."
The new study used a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS) to examine the gas components of the vapor. .The analysis showed that the Volcano® vapor was remarkably clean, consisting 95% of THC with traces of cannabinol (CBN), another cannabinoid. The remaining 5% consisted of small amounts of three other components: one suspected cannabinoid relative, one suspected PAH, and caryophyllene, a fragrant oil in cannabis and other plants. In contrast over 111 different components appeared in the gas of the combusted smoke, including a half dozen known PAHs. Non-cannabinoids accounted for as much as 88% of the total gas content of the smoke.
