What is classed as heavy use?

[Whos Carl]

They keep bringing out studies on how cannabis effects teenagers. Saying that being a heavy cannabis smoker leads to psychosis and other mental illnesses.

The question I have is what is classed a heavy user?

An ounce a day? An ounce a week? What are they baseing there "facts" on?

Yeah I would like to know too, because I want to know my psychi is going to be fucked up for that 2 year period I was going through ounces like nothing...HMM...

I think the term chronic use is smoking at least once every day. Probably more then once a day actually. I smoke everyday, so i guess i'm a heavy user. Oh yea, what was i saying? *smokes bowl*

[Whos Carl]

But are they judging on the amount smoked or the regularity of smoking? I am just wondering because I vape about 4 times a week but use hardly any maybe an 1/8 a month if that.

That's a good question. I'd say it's how much you consume over a certain time period. Then again what do i know i'm just a stoner.

i expect to be considered heavy use by all that bullshit is not much at all, like once a day, but noone really knows, cos there is no real answer.

Heavy use I think would be a spliff a day, going into how much weed you put in your spliffs is going too far for the government... so a jay a day will turn your brain to mush

Also, glad to see you posting finally Mr. Rus!

I've seen heavy use described as more than once a week especially in these latest "studies" about pot and schizophrenia. Keep in mind that a lot of these studies are theoretical. It wouldn't be ethical to force teenagers to smoke to conduct research so a lot of these so-called findings are calculated, not actually observed. It's also worth mentioning that in the US there is no clean, controlled source of research MJ outside of that grown under the watchful eye of the DEA at the University of Mississippi.

People actually smoke ounces a day?!
