Right, you just keep thinking that. I know what I did and when...last smoke was about 5 years ago.:)

Although, come to think of it, I probably hadn’t had any really primo smoke in a decade. I suppose the super gooey stuff has continued to increase in potency, but I have smoked a lot of really gooey joints...persistence was the secret. I didn’t even start really goin to town until 1980 and by then sensamilla and hydro had begun to show up, but the best still came from potting soil (no pun intended). Different generations, different habits.

I'm not sure we're communicating well on this.

I just think Dean Edel is a pr*ck, that's all -- the placemarker was about him, not you.

Cheers!

I know that if you were really smoking 30 to 100 grams per month that you were smoking a lot more than most who smoke pot. That’s just a fact. I know that from my personal experience and also from survey results from this country and others where they’ve looked into how much marijuana is consumed on average by those considered current users, which usually means those who have consumed marijuana within the last 30 days. The average is going to be in the 7 to 10 gram range per month depending on which country’s survey results you look at. For the US, it’s about 7 grams. If you were smoking between 30 and 100 grams a month by yourself, you were smoking way more than the average pot smoker. I smoked pot myself for a lot of years, at some points several times a day, and I don’t know that I ever knew anyone that actually smoked 3 grams a day like you were talking about. I’m sure there are those out there who smoke that much or more, but people that do that are definitely the rare exception. It’s not something I would brag about if I were you.
