"And there's evidence that the stronger the THC, the less of it a person smokes. I don't want to say it's good for you, but I'll say (more potent marijuana) is less bad for you."

Total BS. Every pot smoker I know smokes it like there is no tomorrow. If it is stronger, then it's just that more high they get, they don't stop half way through and decide "I should take a walk or do some studying". :roll:

Also remember that our very own government sends 5 people pot in the mail each and every week for medicinal purposes. Bunch of f'n hipocrites.

And our own medical community still uses opium for severe pain. What is your f'n point?

It's the same old tired BS. What is amazing to me is that the drug warriors seem to think the people have no memory.

Nah, just the pot smokers. ;)

um, yeah.

Every pot smoker I know only has 1-3 joints when they smoke. Why waste it all at once?

Must be stupid teenagers. We share a joint between 5-6 of us an seldom smoke the whole thing. Same with all the other smokers I know.

Sorry, you are wrong, and if you believe that you have obviously never smoked pot.

Cannabis with a higher THC content does not necessarily get you "higher". It just enables you to reach that plateau more quickly.

The % of THC has nothing to do with how high you actually get. If you're smoking schwag with 1% THC content, you're just going to have to smoke more to reach that level of feel-goodness. You'll still get just as high, it will just take longer.

At least in theory. More than likely, if you're smoking schwag, you won't bother to smoke the 10 bowls required to get you to the same state that 1 bowl of high quality stuff would.

Besides, like I said.. the whole thing doesen't even matter. Hashish has been around for hundreds of years, and it can easily approach 100% THC.

When you smoke hash, it takes a very minute ammount. A 1mm ball of quality hash would bake just about anybody.

Well everyone I knew smoked until they were stoned, and saved the rest. Potheads do have to think about cost, so why waste it when you can just smoke a bowl or two. You can only get so high, and there really is no point in smoking past that point except for the enjoyment of the smoking itself (which I do enjoy, and going to smoke a blunt after class with your friends is a great way to kill an afternoon).
