What are you trying to say anyway? If the THC doesn't fit you must acquit. I must say I am a little troubled by your argument even though my point should of sounded a little more like what I have already conceded in my past post.

This was the original Hazelden info combined with the DEA report on BC Bud.

Increased potency. Marijuana today is much stronger. The average potency of marijuana, or the THC content (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) that produces the "high," has increased from an average of 1 percent in the 1960s to 3 percent today. Greater availability of even more potent marijuana, up to 15 percent THC, increases the risk of intoxication.

With the DEA report BC Bud and Canadian marijuana being smuggled across the border in large amounts how would either one of us now know what the accurate average is today?

If you are a lawyer then maybe you should develop a conscience and look at the overall content of my article.

I welcome criticism and without it the other freeper's wouldn't learn anything from the information "right or wrong."

You did a wonderful job using the average THC level and made that the focus of discrediting my entire outlook on the side effects and harm marijuana causes.

What other parts of my article did you find incorrect besides the THC?

You tell me you are not a marijuana advocate but you do seem to have a hair across your ass with one point that you seem not able to pass? You yourself have stated that the THC content is 5 times greater in your past posts? What gives if those days are over for you?

Did you question or research the veracity and accuracy of the information you based this article on at all? For instance, the claims of research done at Tulane showing brain damage appears to be a reference to the work of Dr. Heath. If it is, then that research failed peer review miserably.

If you had have just checked out what I was saying and admitted you were wrong when it became apparent that you were, This would have all been over a long time ago. As for being a marijuana advocate, I do not advocate the use of marijuana. I do advocate legalizing it and regulating the marijuana trade.

"You yourself have stated that the THC content is 5 times greater in your past posts?"

I don't know what you are talking about.
