Just for some perspective here because I'm not ashamed of myself...
Two bowls per day I'd consider light usage (less than a bowl a day I'd say is very light, or occasional). Heavy users are smoking over an ounce a week, which is greater than an eighth a day. That's quite a few more than two bowls.
At my height I was smoking between 8-12 king size spliffs per day. Though a spliff is mixed with tobacco.
I was a very heavy user, but I was also not that exceptional for the area (PDX).
I still smoke, even though it's likely bad for me. Like drinking, you don't do it for the positive health effects, you do it because it's fun, social, or you simply want to...
- metaphorm 10y agoyou're the cannabis equivalent of a 3 pack a day tobacco smoker. the very high end of extremely heavy usage. the average cannabis user is probably smoking like 1 joint per week, honestly. a daily user maybe smokes 1 joint per day. very few people have jobs where they can be stoned all day.
- rubyn00bie 10y agoDo you have any facts to back this up? I just don't think the average marijuana user only uses a single joint in a week. I've known a lot of people who smoke and that amount seems off. And a lot more people than you'd expect are stoned all day. You just can't tell because they're past the giggling munchies phase of smoking.
- metaphorm 10y agoI really wish I had better data I could link to you. Just reporting my intuition based on personal experience, and knowing a lot of cannabis users. For obvious reasons, it's not so easy to find good methodically rigorous longitudinal studies of cannabis use.
