"TWO OFFICIAL PERSPECTIVES
Two organizations have attempted to make sense of the conflicting data: NIDA (a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) and its Canadian counterpart, the Addiction Research Foundation (a branch of the Ontario Ministry of Health). Neither of the organizations can be considered a completely disinterested observer . . . since their funding comes from legislative bodies which have kept marijuana illegal."

Depends on who you ask. Studies of smokers who smoke between four and two-hundred and fifty joints have too high a variable to be accurate. Look closer. Who sponsored the studies. (No, look deeper than that.) But I know how much I smoke and it ain't near that much. Find that line between use and abuse, though most people aren't observant enough to watch themselves. Marijuana is super easy to abuse. People foolishly build up their ammunity and thus must smoke more and more to achieve the same or less effect. But used properly, a little bit can go a long way, especially with todays strains of herb. (the marijuana piece is coming soon.)

But at least when I smoke weed, I know exactly what it is I'm smoking.

But if you want to use that last line to negate out everything I say, then you are looking for an excuse to justify your own addiction.

And I can outrun any square smoker. by miles.

But thanks for your comments.
