Rick,
since you want to make it personal I'll reply in kind. Your reply to me is the usual know-it-all crap nobody else knows nothing or has been there.
The operating room engineer was a personal friend of mine. I know just how little he wanted to give up that career.
If you were able to read clearly you would see that I carefully stated that the people made gross errors in judgment while under the influence of pot. Nobody can say how much or how little effect the pot had. However both had been schoolmates of mine and straight "A" students. One tested over the 99 percentile on a national standardized test. I had known them both for over ten years, spent countless hours with both. These weren't dummies!
I doubt seriously that you have been around way more pot smokers than I have. Like I mentioned, I have smoked a few bales of it myself. I was around when pot was ten bucks an ounce and $120 bought you a quarter of absolute killer weed. As a pool player with lots of musician friends, ladies of somewhat loose morals, and flower children among my acquantances I was deep in the life. I never dealt dope but I always knew where it was at. I shut down telling anybody anything after over a dozen cars came to my house in a quiet subdivision on a saturday including strangers that were "friends of friends". Looked like I was dealing heavy when I wasn't making a penny. Maybe you know way more people than I have that smoke pot, maybe you define "way" way differently than I do! Considering I have known several generations of pot users I think I might have a slight edge in the numbers game.

I have a report from a "Scientific Editor" by the name of Steve Connor if anyone is interested in it. It offers some information about how dangerous marijuana really is. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the report, so if you order it, don't smoke the messenger. 
Gee whiz, I must have downloaded this file years ago but I just did a google search and it is still there. You can check it out without PMing me for a copy by clicking here.
Personally, I think the article misses the downsides of my point entirely. I think weed makes most people less productive, in all areas of their lives.
Are there productive people out there who regularly use weed? ABSOLUTELY but it is the exception rather than the rule.
Can most people smoke weed and still maintain a positive life? ABSOLUTELY but SOME CAN'T & don't.
It is up to each person to work out their own salvation.

I can tell you that one of the Wolrd's Oil Giants tracks sub contractors via SSN within their internal system. They also require a very stringent drug test before entering one of their facilities to do work. And they require on going drug and background tests on a regular and on a ram don basis. Drug test results are tied back to that system. If an individual ever tests positive on any test they are banned for LIFE to ever doing work within an ExxonMobil facility.
I personally feel banning for life is a bit too harsh since people can become rehabilitated. But on the other hand, I don't want to be working inside a Chemical Plant where someone working next to me on a process unit just hit some highly potent White Widow during their lunch break and now they are coming back to do the final tests before energizing a 1000MVA, 138kV Power Transformer.
Food for thought if you want to work in the Petro-chemical industry.

Straight A students means 'book' smart, that's all. I have a friend (Mensa member) who I say is the 'smartest dumb ass I ever met".
"a few bales" tells me the story. either they were VERY small bales, or you like to exaggerate quite a bit. One or the other...
I'm not a youngster. I remember buying pounds of Jamaican for 130 bucks. First smoking 42 yrs ago now, and haven't missed many days since then. I'm a medical card holder, with cultivation rights as well.

ouch!
I spent a good bit of my time in Exxon Baton Rouge working for contractors. Don't remember how many projects in there I was on total, maybe over a dozen. When Standard Oil built the plant in the early 1900's it was the biggest petro-chem plant in the world or became the biggest somewhere early along the line. No idea how it ranks now but it is it's own city within a city and getting a job working directly for the plant was once a lifetime gig.
Wouldn't be surprised if a few big players in the industry didn't quietly exchange that type of information too. Fortunately by the time whiz quizing started I was clean as a whistle. Haven't taken a toke since the first of the two deaths I mentioned.

How is a person supposed to know they are getting high or low THC pot, or that the stuff was not laced with something else? Beyond growing it themselves that is.
Pot as it is today is alot different then pot of the past. Today the stuff is grown under high wattage light systems putting out specific wavelengths of light that are alternated in various stages to amplify the various growing cycles. The lights are kept over the light at about 1 foot to 18 inches and are moved up as the plant grows to keep the optimal amount of light on the plant. These are combined with fertilizers that are specifically designed to grow one specific plant and increase the amount of "bud" and amount of THC within that plant.
Pot today is often a far cry from the marijuana plant sitting in a pot of dirt in a sunny window as it was in the past. It has been genetically altered through selective breeding just like most food crops out there and is amplified in it's drug-like properties through fertilizers that are anything but natural.
Telling someone pot of today is completely harmless and then saying "oh well you got into some that was really high in THC" is goofy, there is alot of pot out there these days that happens to be a very strong drug with WAY more THC then is naturally normal for the plant and it is nothing like the pot people were smoking in the 1960's whatsoever.
To use your own analogy, this guy smoked what probably would have been a normal amount of pot. It would be instead akin to buying a bottle of aspirin, eating the normal 2 aspirin, and only after realizing that the aspirin in the bottle you bought in fact has 3250mg of acetylsalicylic acid per a pill instead of the normal 325mg and now you just OD'd on AA to the tune of 7000mg instead of the maximum reccomended intake of 700mg.
And the point of the above (and it may shock you after all of that). THIS is why pot SHOULD be legalized and government controlled. Only through legalization can the government then enforce restrictions on the amount of THC allowed in a specified unit of the product and assure that nothing else is "added" to the product. Not to mention the massive amount of tax revenue that the government could make through legalization of it through both sales taxes and taxing the producers directly combined with the money saved by the reduction of law enforcement that is currently trying to deal with pot and the people who are in jail eating up yet more tax dollars due to pot related crimes. Pot, like alchohol or tobacco should be a legal, controlled substance.
But don't sit there and tell people that atm as it is today that pot is totally safe, it is not, it is uncontrolled, unregulated, and unless you grew the stuff yourself or know who did you don't know what you are getting.
I'd say a few bales hit it pretty close. Running numbers as closely as possible I've smoked somewhere around a hundred pounds of pot. Granted it could be more, I bought a lot more than that but I wasn't stingy!
Aside from test scores both of the guys that died were literally like brothers to me at some points in time. High school and college age running buddies. We hunted, fished, canoed, ran women, shot pool, spent days and days at a time together. They both made awesomely foolish and uncharacteristic decisions. One was trained and worked full time at the work he was killed doing on his own time. The other died after making an even poorer decision. Could they have made the same decisions regardless? We will never know because the fact is that they made the decisions while under the influence of pot and those are the kind of decisions you only get wrong once.
Like I say, you are quick to "know it all" and assume that I know nothing or have no experience because I disagree with you.
Interesting point about productivity Joey makes too. When I look back over my friends that were heavy pot users compared to nonusers or those that only smoked occasionally over a short period of time the achievements of the nonusers as a group far exceed the success of the heavy users as a group. Of course the fact that many of the heavy users died young or became total burnouts kinda skews the results!

I happen to be very enlightened, educated, and informed on the matter at hand, so you need not lash out at me. Most doctors are in fact fairly ignorant on the matter, that's why "medical" marijuana has gotten as far as it has. That the patients we are speaking of were not "healthy happy" individuals goes without saying; they were abusing drugs. That would be a big red flag in itself.
We do not control nor are we a part of any "industry". That is a common confusion. The health care industries in this country and the pharmaceutical industries are not the medical profession and we are not them. That we are forced to work within those industries is a matter of great concern for me. If you think it's bad now, wait and see what is coming.
Prescribing is not first line therapy in marijuana withdrawal and in fact I don't support it in general. A physician is a great deal more than a prescription pad.
How DANGEROUS is Cannabis?
Let's keep on track with the marijuana discussion.
I've known, like most of you, MANY marijuana smokers and the VAST MAJORITY of them will protest quite loudly, that weed doesn't hurt them in any way.
I've also known many regular smokers who are always suspicious of something or the other.
I've also known many regular smokers who say, "I just don't give a damn!".
Some people SEEM to be quite at home with themselves in the world while being under the influence. It appears to me that some of my smoking friends, that while they are the life of a party, seem to have their own personal curtain to their lives and they keep it closed except for those of like mind, body and spirit.
MOST every pot smoker I know is non-violent. Drinkers are certainly more violent from my experience.
People shouldn't deny that SOME PEOPLE have VERY ADVERSE CONDITIONS from smoking weed. At the same time, SOME PEOPLE exhibit NO ADVERSE CONDITIONS.
Each person has to make their own choice. This discussion can help you make your choice.
No one commented about the article I referred to from England which the Science Editor wrote. I'm kind of curious as to your opinion on this article "HOW DANGEROUS IS CANNABIS?".

I have alot of experience around both and I certainly agree with that 100%. Pot if anything dulls violent tendencies, I know guys who you get some alchohol into them and they turn into loose cannons.
Possible, yes, probable, no.
I really don't think you have any concept of how much pot a 100 lbs is. I smoke heavily, and don't smoke 2 oz a month. (1 1/2 lbs a year)
Either that, or you are 110 yrs old. Please go back a few posts...see......'exaggerate'.

Blah, blah, blah, pot, blah, clean, blah blah , so good to be alive, choke, cough, gag.
In the meantime the two most addictive and destructive products are purchased and used daily by millions. Alcohol and cigarettes.
If you want to play high, I'm all for it. Just please double the bet.
The amounts of threads on AZ that have little or no reference to any intelligent pool discussion is astounding.

Many med clubs now test for mold, mildew, bugs,etc...the worst kind is the scwhag sent in from Mexico that can have extremely high pesticide levels.
Many people still think certain Sativas from the 70's overall are a stronger weed than much of the new stuff. The newer types have higher thc, but have a "ceiling" that strains like Haze from the 70's don't have. It just doesn't yield much and takes longer to grow so it has faded out commercially. People "trip" on that kind of weed much more than the sit on your couch indicas now so popular.
If people can build a tolerance to concentrates that are 3x the level of thc as the strongest indoor, I believe the freaking out about the "new, stronger pot" is a joke. Ten times stronger? Not even close, maybe 2x on average...anyone growing in a dirty window is an idiot, there have always been plenty of people much more clued in than that.
Older strains were something like 8-16% thc, new indoor can get close to 30 at its absolute strongest (18-25% probably on average for top strains), certain extracts can get into the high 70's and people still get used to it.
I don't agree with it Joey...at all.
I'm more inclined to believe this article from the same source.

Congratulations on making the decision to at least take a couple of weeks off, to just see if there was any difference.
Accoding to most experts drugs and alcohol are flushed from your system in about a month.
What is not talked about enough in my opinion is the effects of living for years with substances in your system , and how you deal with life when they are no longer there.
Some people are "Dry drunks' for years after they become sober, not realizing they are using the same process to handle problems that they did when they were drunk or high.
This is where AA or NA can be helpful for some people to learn how to make a transition.

Rick, I see Mike Tyson on the list. He probably had the munchies when he bit Holifield's ear, both times.
Not exactly a glowing list TBH of people who have smoked pot and been doing awesome at the game of life...
